G-3 Division Providing the entire air wing aboard George Washington with avi ordnance is a task that G-3 Division takes to heart. Known to “MAGRAT, a name given for their ability to scamper up and down five stories of vertical trunks. Down, down, down they go to the bowels of the ship to a special place known only to the privileged few... “the magazines . This is the place where the MAGRATS perform their magic in preparing each round of ordnance for the air wing. The awesome firepower of the George Washington Battle Group is dependent on it’s air wing’s ability to deliver effective ordnance on time, on target, whether for training or the real deal. During George Washington’s deployment, the MAGRATS of G-3 Division flawlessly prepared, safely handled, and stowed over 6 million pounds of ordnance. These consummate professionals broke out, assembled, and moved over 1.5 million pounds in support of Carrier Air Wing SEVEN operations. The PRIDE, PROFESSIONALISM, and TEAMWORK demonstrated by these men is representative of their belief and support of the George Washington mission.
