Stennis Sailors Help Injured Cyclist...

Story Number: NNS130829-01Release Date: 8/29/2013 8:13:00 AM
By Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Daniel Schumacher


BREMERTON, Wash (NNS) -- Two Sailors assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) aided a civilian cyclist who was struck by a car in Silverdale, Wash., Aug. 22.

Logistics Specialist 1st Class Jennifer Cunningham, from Bloomington, Ill., accompanied by Seaman Aaron Singer, from Pearl City, Hawaii, was driving Stennis' Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) van when they observed a female lying on the side of the road next to a damaged bicycle.

"We didn't know the situation, but we were not going to drive past her and hope everything went well," said Cunningham.

Cunningham parked the van next to the injured woman and asked if she needed help. She explained to the Sailors that she was hit by a car and sustained injuries to her leg and head.

"Her leg was already turning a dark purple color," said Cunningham.

Singer stayed with the cyclist while Cunningham called 911. The Sailors remained at the scene with the injured cyclist until paramedics arrived.

"We just wanted to make sure the cyclist was okay," said Cunningham.

Cunningham and Singer's actions were recognized by Stennis' commanding officer, Capt. Michael Wettlaufer, who personally thanked them during an all-hands announcement on the ship's public address system.

"I didn't do this for attention or praise," said Cunningham. "I'm glad, however, that we, the Navy, are being recognized for stopping to do the right thing instead of just driving by."

Stennis, homeported in Bremerton, Wash., is currently undergoing a Docking Planned Incremental Availability maintenance period at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility.

Indiana company's filters play key role in refurbishing work on nuclear-powered aircraft carrier...

HOPE, Indiana — A southern Indiana company that provides dust collection cartridges and filter bags for industrial clients has taken on a new challenge by helping to refurbish a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Action Filtration of Hope is providing filters that will collect hazardous materials created during work to overhaul the USS John C. Stennis.

The Republic reports (http://bit.ly/13eqfYk ) the deal is worth about $500,000 for Action Filtration. Company president Les Benesh says the work has increased pride among employees and is enabling the company to expand.

The company is providing about 2,700 filters to a contractor that won part of a $240 million contract to overhaul the Stennis.

The aircraft carrier was commissioned in 1995 and cost $3.5 billion to build. It has an expected life span of 50 years.

Stennis Sailors educate students on military service...
June 13, 2013 · Updated 11:48 AM

Sailors assigned to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis spoke with 7th and 8th grade students June 5 about military career options during Mountain View Middle School’s 2013 Future Fair.

The fair was a chance for Sailors to talk to students about military service and the many options available to them when choosing a career.

“It’s important that we’re here today to show the community that we are here for them and to let kids know what the U.S. Navy is about,” said Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 1st Class Arnel Angeles.

In addition to the presentation by Stennis’ Sailors, the fair also included representatives from local businesses and educational institutions, exposing the students to a variety of viable career options.

“The military presence, as well as our community members coming in, is so valuable because kids forget that there is a whole community of people out there who are looking out for them, care for them and who really want to see them succeed,” said Jennifer Chamberlin, the coordinator for the fair.

Some students who already have an interest in the military, like 7th grader Sage Riggs, used this opportunity to learn more about being a service member.

“I want to be an Army doctor when I grow up,” said Riggs. “The fair and the Navy guys really helped me learn more about working in the military.”

“I really hope that the kids had a lot of fun,” said Chamberlin.  “I also hope they become inspired and develop some ideas about what they want to do when they get older.”
