Aboard the USS Cape St. George in sunny San Diego

On Monday, I got my first peek at a Navy cruiser when I met with the very capable Captain Rabun and LT Grant Greenwell--true "Dragonslayers"! The rest of their team was just as sharp and I came away learning a lot about what they do to preserve their history. The biggest thing that surprised me was that I found out their PAO (right now it's ENS Cummings) has to do all the page layouts himself for their cruisebooks...wow that's a ton of work. I'm so used to RMS doing all that for the Units that I didn't think others were still doing it themselves. Anyway, it was a treat to spend some time with this great warship crew! America is in great hands!
