Who let the dogs out? 🐶 🚁 The Dusty Dogs of HSC-7 train constantly to stay mission ready. Last week, they conducted several Visit, Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS) drills which sharpened their skills on inserting and hoisting operators on board moving vessels. #HSC7 #CSGTWO

Got Gas? ⛽️ #MightyIKE is ramping up! Earlier this month, Air department’s V-4 division on loaded almost ONE MILLION gallons of JP-5 fuel 💪🏼 Having enough jet fuel onboard is a vital step in getting back operational so IKE can launch and recover aircraft. #GreaterEachDay
