Last week, I was honored to be invited on board USS John C. Stennis while it conducted Carrier Qualifications off the coast of San Diego. Over the next few days, I will be posting a short series on the trip and USS John C. Stennis. I just arrived home last night, so for now here is a short photo spread from the embark. Enjoy!

A trap during nighttime Carrier Qualifications.
Corpmen at a battle dressing station relax with videogames. Hours later, this same BDS was used to conduct a medical evacuation of a serious injury.
A F/A-18E Super Hornet waits on the deck for another aircraft to trap.

PAO action shot. PAO officer explains the “oh-s$%t handle” on the back of float vests: “Don’t take it personally if you get manhandled, it just means someone sees danger that you don’t”.
USS John C. Stennis is the only carrier with a Starbucks trained barista. Now, sailors can enjoy a Grande Chai Soy Half-Whip Mocha Latte with Cinnamon on board. All profits go to the Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) fund.

Highly recommend the Dirty Shirt Wardroom on the O3. Much more fun that the one down below and the dog is pretty good too. She didn’t have a Starbucks during the 98 cruise. Guess times change.
November 9th, 2009 at 7:46 pmGreat pics! I hope to be aboard, Monday and Tuesday, health willing (and it hasn’t been till today).
Will be in the Dirty Shirt Wardroom, for sure! Thx for the heads-up Claudio. Will try and bring some fresh roasted beans, too.
November 9th, 2009 at 8:30 pmI had to check wikipedia, which has the Stennis’ home port as Bremerton, WA.
Starbucks barista and Bremerton. Coincidence?
