 The USS John C. Stennis held a Steel Beach picnic July 27th. Morale, welfare and recreation, along with other associations onboard John C. Stennis, such as the Junior Enlisted Association, organized the Steel Beach picnic in order to build morale amongst the crew. I definitely like that I don't have to be in full-flight deck uniform today. It's really hot out here, but it feels great to be in shorts and a t-shirt and just enjoy everyone for their company and not be all about business. The morale-building event included a barbecue, sporting events, a dance competition, and live music. Reporting from onboard USS John C. Stennis, I'm Petty Officer Nick Griff.
