ABMA SYMPOSIUM DATES: MONDAY AUG 4th. TO FRIDAY AUG 8th.. TRAVEL DAY: SUNDAY AUG 3rd.

The men and the women of the USS John C. Stennis Air Department were excited to be able have an opportunity to help out our own Aviation Boatswain's Mate Association (ABMA). We know with the rising cost to put on the annual Symposium/Professional Working Group Conferences, we are quickly depleting the National ABMA funds. Since the ABMA is a non-profit organization this could mean that in the future we might not be able to continue putting together an annual Symposium/Professional Working Group Conference as we know of it today.
As most of you know, we have the annual Symposium/Professional Working Group Conferences to go over agenda items submitted by the fleet. All our recommendations actually go directly to the Office of the CNO and all the key players such as NAVSEA, NAVSES, NAVAIR, and PERSCOMM all attend or are given the agenda items for resolution.
All together the men and women of the USS John C. Stennis Air Department donated $500.00 for the Aviation Boatswain's Mate Association. We challenge other ships to join in and support the ABMA. Keep in mind this will only benefit our own ABMA.

Aviation Boatswain's Mate 1st Class Brian Lewis was chosen as the Sea Sailor of the Year. more...
