Ship Ahoy!
By Richard Osborne
In mid-May, I had the good
fortune to participate in a
program sponsored by the
US Navy called “Educators to
Sea.” Along with 13 others, I
traveled to North Island Navy
Air Base in San Diego. Our
group consisted of teachers
and administrators from
K-12, community college and
university systems from all over
the country.
After an extensive
orientation, we were flown
out to the CVS Carl Vinson,
a Nimitz class aircraft carrier
that was operating about
100 miles off the coast of
California. We spent the next
day and a half touring the ship,
observing flight operations, and
interacting with the crew. Over
5,000 sailors live and work on
the Carl Vinson and our group
was given access to all areas
except the nuclear reactors
that power the vessel. The role
that each individual plays is
critical to the overall operation
of the ship and its ability to
successfully complete
its mission.
P O R T E RV I L L E
COLLEGE
Foundation
The purpose of the
“Educators to Sea” program
is to showcase the skills and
professionalism displayed by
members of the modern Navy.
That goal was certainly achieved
in our case. Everyone in our
group was impressed with the
enthusiasm and professionalism
of everyone that we came in
contact with. These men and
women, from the youngest, just
out of school to the enlisted
personnel and officers who
have made a career of the
Navy are all highly trained
and see themselves as being an
integral part of something very
important to our country.
Gone are the days when
enlisting in the Navy meant
spending your time swabbing
decks or chipping paint.
Individuals now have a much
greater opportunity to choose
their career paths and shape
their futures.
For me, this trip was a
real “eye-opener” and the
experiences that I had during
my brief stay aboard the
Carl Vinson will never be
forgotten.
