 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Ian Cotter. These are your headlines from around the fleet. The Military Sea Lift Command's Joint High Speed Vessel, USNS Spearhead, arrived in Rota, Spain for a scheduled port visit January 6th. Spearhead is on deployment to the US Sixth Fleet Area of Operations to support the International Program Africa Partnership Station, or APS. The ship is scheduled to continue its deployment to help build partnerships in the Gulf of New Guinea and off the coast of West Africa. Eligible First Class Petty Officers are scheduled to take the E7 exam January 15th. If you are eligible, it's your responsibility to check your official military personnel file or OMPF. Make sure it's up to date and notify your personnel office of any issues. You can request a copy of your OMPF on CD, correct your record, or submit new documents on the NPC website. Check out the Navadman for more information on the exam.
