 I'm Lieutenant Alweida, stationed out of Assault Crap Unit 4. Hi, I'm Adam Holland, craftmaster of LCAC 67, out here on USS Baton. I'm Jusson II, Jared Brown. I work on LCAC 67. My name's BM II, Ethan Walton. I'm from Ronald, Virginia. I'm loadmaster for LCAC 41, ACU 4. My name's O.S. II, Jusson. I'm an LCAC navigator. Here on the LCAC, I'm responsible for radar navigation, collision avoidance, external communications, and various aspects of mission planning. The LCAC, in simplest terms, is a militarized version of a civilian hovercraft, of course, with an open deck to carry large amounts of cargo and personnel. It's surrounded by a rubber skirt that it gets inflated with air, and then the lift fans actually drive a high volume at low pressure of air to build this cushion that's contained by the skirt that lifts the craft up and the load that's on deck. Then you've got two props in the back that, of course, speeded along at speeds in excess of 40 knots, and then two directional bow thrusters, one on the port and starboard side, that gives the hovercraft's attitude movement through the water. The LCACs are designed to transport personnel, cargo, and vehicles from ship to shore at speeds in excess of 35 knots, not to exceed 50 over water and 25 over land. It's a fairly exciting job. There's a lot more responsibility due to the fact that the crews are only consisted of five people. The senior being the craft master, there's an E7 and above. The biggest challenge of the craft master is make sure that you always have the missing at hand, as well as making sure that the equipment is running at full speed. You never want to have equipment that's not fully safe because anything can happen very rapidly on board these machines. My job on the LCAC is deck engineer, which basically pretty much anything that moves or may need to get fixed is what I fix. My job is to load all vehicles, equipment, personnel, and cargo on the deck and make sure it's properly balanced for a good flight. I'm also in charge of all weapons and ammunition stored on board. The most difficult aspect about my job, believe it or not, is working with a superstar debt. They won't let me turn a wrench, but I'm a big believer in one of the disciplines of leadership being rolling up your sleeves and getting dirty. My favorite part of working on the LCAC, probably going to the beaches and the different countries that we go and operate in. I love what I do because I love flying hovercraft. It's the greatest gig in the world and I got the best crew that I worked with. Having done workups with the debt and with the ship and being deployed with the baton arg, the most enjoyable thing I find with the job is honestly working with some of the finest sailors and marines that are defending our great nation.
