<ul>
<li>Michael always wished to be MA - Master at Arms; the rating was not available back in 2014 until much later in the year, so he opted for and succeeded at HT - Hull Technician. He was invited to served temporary duty with MA personnel aboard the Lincoln with hopes it may evolved in a rating transfer. Unfortunately, it did not. Thankfully, he was eligible for re-enlistment and was accepted for a rating transfer to LS - Logistics Support. He is still in VA and awaits orders to / for his next assignment, having re-enlisted for another four years. He earned PO3 and is frequently encouraged to put the time into the books so that he may be eligible for advancement to PO2 sooner versus later.</li>
<li>Though all of our Sailors' Ship5 situations are unique - perhaps Michael's story will serve to encourage others if/when faced with a Ship5 experience.</li>
