Congratulations Curtis!!

Curtis found out last night that he was Quicksand Sailor of the Week for the Airwing! He got to meet some of the higher ranking officers, sit in the captain's chair, and drive the ship! I am so excited and proud! They started to put some of the pictures up on the Carl Vinson Facebook page but I downloaded them to share here!

Quicksand Sailor of the Week is someone who has gone above and beyond in their normal day-to-day activities and has been nominated by their chain of command for the award.

I cannot even put into words how excited I am for him to be getting this recognition for all of his hard work!

Curtis said in an email that driving the ship was harder than he expected. I think that might be what he is looking at in the top picture, but I could be wrong. Either way, CONGRATULATIONS CURTIS on this AWESOME achievement!! Less than a month down in the books and already kicking butt!! :)
