 It is the season when Yacosca's ships head back to home port, but in order to make homecomings a reality, Yacosca's port operations is the team to make it happen. From organizing line handlers on the pier to the tugs that bring the ships in safely, these sailors get the job done. I feel good, you know, because I mean, I didn't think I would be in this position because every time I saw other port ops, it was run by civilians. And this is the only base that we have actual sailors of port ops pulling ships in, so I feel great that without us, you know, the families wouldn't see their family. Once the tugs bring the ship to the pier, the line handlers get to work, and even the weather doesn't stop this team. Port ops takes pride in their work and promotes fleet activities Yacosca's motto, service to the fleet. Without us, there's no underway. Flight Officer Brian M. Brooks, Yacosca Naval Base, Japan.
