NAV ADMIN LT Gerrit M. Rickwalt Ship ' s Navigator Counter Drug Operation Deployments are never easy, but the NAV ADMIN sailors made it look OLD BAT ! NAVIGATION smoothly navigated through 121,885nm of ocean, crossing the Equator four times. Not o mention transiting the Panama Canal four times at over 233nm with 96 course changes, and all in a DITCH! NAV also navigated the ship into port 13 times with out incident, conducted Visual Comms vith navies from five countries. Not too bad for six months at the office! As for X Division, the YN ' s, PN ' s, HM ' s, the 3MC and the CMAA were all busy too. The Yeomen had to continue the ship s administrative duties, even away from the Good Old US of A. Everything from the Plan of the Day to awards to Command correspondence had to be stepped up, and our YN ' s met every :ask! Our Personnelmen also had to step-up the pace with 260 service records and added the overseas :ravel to their already full plate. Our Hospital Corpsmen continued to be our Doc s with the added dangers associated with deployments. The whole crew was grateful we have such good Corpsmen on Doard, just ask those they treated in emergencies and Medivaced! The 3MC kept our maintenance up kvhile the Top Cop kept us in line! The X-Men are prime examples of McINERNEY s motto Fast, Fearless, Gallanf !
