ne hundred sixty-one Sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) assumed the responsibilities of the next higher pay grade during a frocking ceremony held in the ship’s hangar bay, June 1. The Sailors walked on stage one-byone as Capt. Timothy C. Kuehhas, the ship’s commanding officer, presented frocking letters to the crew’s new first, second and third class petty officers and commended them on the milestone
in their career. “It’s a great week in the Navy with all the promotions and the new selectees,” said Kuehhas. “And it’s great to be doing this at sea. The downside is our families can’t be here with us, but to get promoted as maritime warriors at sea, doing what we do best, there’s nothing like it in the world.” The selected Sailors attended a petty officer indoctrination course prior to being frocked. The course provides leadership tools needed for
their new responsibilities, as well as tools to assist in upholding the Navy’s core values of honor, courage and commitment. “It hasn’t really sunk in yet,” said Sharpes. “I look forward to taking charge of my work center and working with great people who will help me and keep me in check.” Washington advanced 23 first class petty officers, 50 second class petty officers and 88 third class petty officers aboard the Washington.

ailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) took time off to commemorate Memorial Day with a steel-beach picnic in the hangar bay, May 30. “Memorial Day gives us a chance to remember all the active duty members who have given their lives to protect us,” said Chief Warrant Officer Edward Williams, the ship’s G-1 division officer. “Since we are not at home to celebrate it with our families, the ship provided us an opportunity to remember our fallen comrades while at sea.” The Aviation Ordnance Association, Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions (CSADD), Applied Suicide Intervention Skill Training (ASIST), Chief Petty Officer, as well as the First, and the Second Class Petty Officer Associations assisted Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) in setting up the event, which featured a live DJ, a tricycle course and a driving range. “It was just a way for the command to show appreciation,” said Operation Specialist 2nd Class Carrie Kramer, the assistant leading petty officer of MWR. “The Sailors here work really hard and we thought we would thank them for their sacrifices and commitment to be here.” Chief petty officers served hot dogs, hamburgers, ribs and cookies in gratitude for their fellow Sailors. “Although it was fun to get off work early and eat with my friends, I don’t think we should forget the purpose of the picnic,” said Airman Nate Yelmene. “We have to give homage to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and I think today was a great way to take some time off and reflect on it.”
