Since the detailers will not be visiting commands in Hawaii or Concord, Calif., Sailors homeported in these areas who are members of a deploying battle group will have priority when contacting their detailers by phone between Oct. 16 and 19. The team, six detailers strong, will be available for all Adak Sailors. Around the Fleet NNS680. What a surprise. Each carrier arrested landing is a dramatic event.
Pilots fly their aircraft on a precise glide slope as they approach the moving, floating airfield.
When the pilot lands, a hook extending from the tail of the aircraft engages one of four wires spanning the landing zone. The wires are connected to massive hydraulic machines, which absorb the energy of the aircraft. The new facility is funded entirely by energy savings rebate money. The facility will accommodate up to 24 children per day. The new service is a result of parents expressing a need for additional openings for toddler drop-in care, and by their need to make medical appointments or run errands without taking their children.
