LMRCs substantially increase a ship's volume of reading materials and needs less space. The third component of the Fleet QOL initiative will ensure that each Navy ship has a full supply of sports and recreation equipment for use during deployments. Included will be balls, bats, gloves, snorkeling equipment, dart boards, board games and other equipment. For instance, garage doors are 16 inches taller to accommodate the taller, wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Entrance ways are flush with the sidewalks and all of the interior doors are a full three feet wide.
Hallways are also a minimum of five feet wide and have been eliminated where possible.
Every Navy family is important. The six homes set a standard for all military housing throughout the world. The headquarters in Pensacola provides support for this training. Radioman 3rd class Aaron Looney, son of Thomas Looney and Inez Johnson, of Norman Okla., is a very happy man today. His well thought out plan, first conceived in a Singapore jewelry store, spanned several thousand miles and involved both their families.
