 When people are selecting their jobs in the Navy, there are a lot of things they're told, and some things they're not. The Navy Munitions Command in Missowa is one of those things. I was expecting to go to a ship, conduct minesweeps, search for mines. It seems easy to have an idea of what your job is based on your job title, but sometimes the experiences you don't know about can tell you more about the career you choose. You know, mines were part of our job. I didn't know anything about the bombs in regards to converting them, being able to convert the bombs into actual mines. NMC Missowa is just one of those chances a sailor has to experience a different aspect of their job, but both sides are needed to complete their mission.
