NNS080808-16. Bataan Chaplain Keeps Sailors Mentally and Physically Healthy
By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class(SW/AW) Pedro A. Rodríguez, USS Bataan Public Affairs
USS BATAAN, At Sea (NNS) -- The command chaplain aboard the multipurpose amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5), began an aerobics and yoga program July 21 to help Sailors stay in shape and reduce stress.
Cmdr. Brenda F. Bradleydavila, Bataan chaplain, began the classes with a focus on Sailors' mental and physical readiness.
"We were looking at creating a program to help the crew to stay healthy," said Bradleydavila. "Something that was fun and motivational at the same time."
With the Physical Fitness Assessment rapidly approaching the program is very timely.
"It's a fun and energetic alternative from the regular Navy physical training," said Storekeeper 2nd Class Omolade E. Jones. "With the music and the participation, it motivates everyone to come out."
Along with the aerobics session, Bradleydavila started a yoga session conducted by Lt. Cmdr. Mike E. Johnston, Bataan's helicopter direction control officer, to help Sailors relax after their daily duties.
"Yoga increases your balance and strength using your own body weight," said Johnston. "It helps to control different conditions like high cholesterol."
Bataan is the fifth ship of the Navy's Wasp-class ships. She was commissioned Sept. 20, 1997, and is the second U.S. Navy warship to bear the name. CVL-29 was an Independence-class small aircraft carrier that was commissioned in November 1943. After serving in both World War II and the Korean conflict, CVL-29 was decommissioned in 1954.
