 More than 280 sailors aboard the USS John C. Stennis had the opportunity to participate in a 5 kilometer or 5k run on the Flight Deck January 18th. The 5k was the first event of the new year hosted by the Stennis's new afloat fitness director for FitBoss. Along with the FitBoss, the Stennis Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions assisted with the 5k by setting up hydration stations, helping the runners sign in and document at the times of the finishing participants. Run on the Flight Deck was nice. It's not every day you get to come out and run on the Flight Deck, running in the open areas nice and it beats the treadmill. The sign-up sheet was full for a couple of days of the 5k's announcement. The FitBoss said for those who did not get a chance to participate, they can look forward to more fitness themed events in the future. From USS John C. Stennis, I'm Betty Officer Fred M. Gray IV.
