We love it when we get the chance to feature our local heroes doing everyday jobs in the military. Can you imagine all of the everyday-type jobs there must be on a floating city of 5000'ish sailors like the USS Ronald Reagan?

Join the Navy and see the world, or at least all the wet parts anyway. Go Navy!
