I asked Kat to keep an eye out for Holly and say "hey" if they run into each other.....as Kat is an MC and works in the media dept they may not cross paths, but she does head out and take photos for the paper so who knows...

Good morning to all. My name is Kirk and my daughter Holly will be starting her first deployment on the USS Abraham Lincoln soon. She just completed A School in PCola and is currently home on leave prior to shipping out. Her rate is ABE and I look forward to seeing how she does in her new vocation.

Momsen, Shoup Shine in Seafair
Story Number: NNS090807-13

SEATTLE (NNS) -- Sailors from USS Momsen (DDG 92) and USS Shoup (DDG 86) got to show Seattle-area civilians a little bit about life aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer July 29 to Aug. 2 during Seattle's Seafair Fleet Week.

The ships hosted free tours, taking guests from the flight deck to the navigation bridge, demonstrating how to properly don a firefighting ensemble and the uses of different radars.

For Momsen tour guide Storekeeper 1st Class (SW) Michael Hamm, of Arroyo Grande, Calif., participating in fleet week meant an opportunity to demonstrate the hard work that goes into running a ship for Momsen's Pacific Northwest neighbors.

"It's a great experience, just getting to show the public what we do," Hamm said. "We're all proud of the ship and the work that goes into keeping it operating at a high level. We want people to see what we're out here doing every day.

"The people who come here to fleet week, they see how we work," Hamm said. "It's great. They also see that we're just like everybody else, but our job is just a little different."

Bev Pickton, of Renton, Wash., toured both Momsen and Shoup. Pickton said she was impressed with the professionalism of the crews.

"The crews really know what they're doing. They're enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It's impressive," she said.

Pickton also said her favorite part of the day was getting to tour the bridge.

"That's where I would want to be, on the bridge. That was the best view of all being up there."

Momsen guide, Gas Turbine System Technician (Mechanical) Fireman Apprentice Cassie Dorau, of Bonham, Texas, said she was as excited to be at fleet week as the people who came for the tours.

"It's just a lot of fun. The weather's good, the people are glad to be here, and I get to tell them all about our ship. It's just been a good experience, and the people get to learn where their tax money goes," Doran said.

Hamm said he hopes the people who tour his ship come away with a greater appreciation for the work it takes to run a Navy vessel.

"I hope people see our work, our dedication," Hamm said. "That's really the reason we're out here, so they can see how hard we work."

Abraham Lincoln's AIMD Nominated For Phoenix Award
Story Number: NNS090313-26
Release Date: 3/13/2009 7:26:00 PM

EVERETT, Wash. (NNS) -- USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) was nominated for the Secretary of Defense Maintenance (Phoenix) Award Feb. 20 by the commander of Naval Air Forces for its maintenance accomplishments.

Vice Adm. Tom Kilcline Jr., Commander, Naval Air Forces
nominated Lincoln.

Competing against aircraft carrier finalists USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) and USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) in the category of large command, Lincoln will be judged in several criteria including effective use of maintenance resources, innovative management accomplishment, personal quality-of-life programs and mission accomplishment.

"The award proves to the Navy and the rest of the Department of Defense that Lincoln consistently completes outstanding maintenance," said Lt. Cmdr. Dan Olvera, Lincoln's aviation maintenance officer. "It's a team effort across the board to win this award," added Olvera, a New Plymouth, Idaho, native.

Lincoln has a history of prior maintenance excellence, having won this award in 2004.

"The men and women of Abraham Lincoln maintained and operated one of the most complex integrated weapon systems ever designed with tremendous skill and success," said Kilcline. "Their demonstrated ability to excel in the most demanding operational circumstances makes them clearly deserving of this prestigious award."

Award categories include small, medium and large commands with two commands in each category able to win the award.

"I think we stand a very good chance of winning because of how well we have done from dry-dock planned incremental activity (DPIA) to the end of cruise," said Olvera.

Kilcline was highly impressed with Lincoln's maintenance efforts as well, giving his full recommendation as the commander in charge of fleet air forces.

"Effective use of financial, maintenance and personal resources, combined with a total integrated team approach shaped Abraham Lincoln into a lethal and highly efficient weapon system," said Kilcline. "The overwhelming operational success achieved by this ship is testimony to the professionalism and skill of its crew."

According to Olvera, the award winner is expected to be announced in July.
