FROM THE COMMANDING OFFICER
Welcome back to
the ships! It’s good to
be aboard Little Rock and The Sullivans again for the summer.
It’s time to bring them back to life for the season.
We also welcome Stockdale Division aboard for the weekend.
We will run
follow up PRT for those with legitimate excuses for last month, and
for our new recruits who signed on last month.
If you did not pass or would like to better your scores, we
will be arranging remedial PT with HM2 Smith at the NOSC.
Details to follow - make sure you advise your OIC of your
intentions. Everyone
needs to be PRT qualified to attend advanced trainings.
If all goes
well, we will be joined by ACU-2 and the small boats (MPFUB) on
Saturday morning. Let’s
hope the weather holds so we can spend some time on the water with
them.
This past month,
we held Petty Officer Leadership Academy at Genesee County Park for
seven of our shipmates.
We are making every effort to provide you with training
opportunities that may or may not be available this summer due to
budget restrictions.
Through the generous support of the park and the dedication of
Ensign Caughill, Ensign Strawbrich, and Lieutenant Junior Grade
Coggins, we were able to offer POLA at a very reasonable cost.
Genesee County Park is also able to provide a combination Sea
Bee / Community Service opportunity for anyone interested in helping
with roof reconstruction on several pavilions at the park.
See me for information.
This month we
will be finalizing training requests and sending out money orders to
reserve your spots. Make
sure you have everything you need to expedite this process.
If you don’t have a clue, you had better get one!!
Call up your chain!
Sunday, we will
stand proudly for Armed Forces Week opening ceremonies.
This is a dress white evolution, so make sure you are
prepared. Mrs. Florian
and Ensign Fischer are coordinating parent volunteers to assist with
sewing and alterations during Saturday drill.
All hands were advised (through the chain) to make a list of
needed uniforms and parts for April drill.
Guess what – it did not happen!
Looks like we have a late night ahead of us!
Come ready for some hard work!
I’ll see you at drill.
