USS Ronald Reagan and carrier group arrives in...
From USS Ronald Reagan Public Affairs
SASEBO, Japan (NNS) -- More than 5,500 Sailors of Carrier Strike Group 7 (CSG) and five ships arrived in Japan for a routine port visit July 28.
The strike group's flagship, the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), embarked Carrier Air Wing 14 (CVW), and the guided-missile destroyer USS Howard (DDG 83) pulled into Sasebo, while the guided-missile frigate USS Thach (FFG 43) and the guided-missile cruiser USS Chancellorsville (CG 62) stopped in Yokosuka, and the guided-missile destroyer USS Gridley (DDG 101) anchored in Fukuoka.
"Our Sailors are the face of America in the Western Pacific. In Japan, we are getting ready to go on what I consider to be a very, very important port visit," said Rear Adm. Phil Wisecup, commander, Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group.
More than 300 strike group Sailors will volunteer their time and efforts to help make a difference in various Japanese communities, by participating in volunteer projects at local schools, elderly care centers, and orphanages. Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) is offering Sailors a broad spectrum of opportunities for Sailors to enjoy their time off in Japan, including tours, hiking trips, sporting events and shopping excursions.
This marks the fourth port visit for CSG-7 during its 2008 Western Pacific deployment and the second visit to Japan by Ronald Reagan. The carrier last visited in February 2007.
The Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group is in the U.S. 7th Fleet's area of responsibility as part of a routine deployment to promote peace, cooperation and stability in the region. Homeported in San Diego, Ronald Reagan is the Navy's newest Nimitz-class aircraft carrier.

What an awsome detail to go to someplace so different and beautiful and still get to see and help with the regular day to day stuff like schools and senior centers.
Mary, did the Navy do stuff like this when your husband was in? I know you have spoke about the different jobs and such you had while living on or around bases. Was the community receptive to the military?

The Navy has always been BIG on community service. For the 1992 earthquake, my husband was an instructor in California and I worked for the newspaper. We did a food drive for the victims of the quake and had great results however...we literally had eight trucks full of food, water and supplies but no way to load or unload the trucks or get the items into the area where they were needed.
He rounded up fellow instructors and some of the students and they took charge, driving the trucks into the quake zone, unloading the items and made quite a weekend out of it. Although the community got some much needed help, these Sailors received much in return from the gratitude they received from the community and they all received special letters and recogition from the base commander when the story hit the newspaper. It was a great weekend for all involved.
