 The military Silev Command provides qualified personnel to help support the Navy's global mission by fulfilling the increasing demand for civilian mariners. Other USS Greyholt combatant ships are primarily manned with active-duty military personnel. So the Mount Whitney and a couple other ships that MSC is operating where the civilian mariners on board are working alongside active-duty military personnel to accomplish the ship's mission. And Mount Whitney is one of those units that has that makeup. MSC has been operating the ship with active-duty Navy for approximately eight years and we've been very successful. So the benefits are many-fold. The active-duty Navy is able to operate the ship with a reduced number of active-duty personnel. MSC has the manpower to fill in the roles where they can and so we're mission effective with this complement of personnel. Civilian mariners are so efficient that they stand ready to help on any given moment with the endless array of duties. I am able-bodied seaman. I run the locksmith, the engraving. My day I don't have a Pacific thing that I do in one day. I go from job to job to job. If we got flight ops, I'm up there on the flight deck. It all depends on what they need done. We make it happen. If you look at the way that MSC does things, we use a lot less people than the military does. The general makeup of the crew on board is pretty much you have generally around about 170 Navy and civilian side have about maybe 150 to 160 Sid Mars. Generally what they do is pretty much the Navy. They're more focused on their warfighting, general training, what they do on a daily basis whereas Sid Mars come in, we give them that support that they won't normally do as a sea mariner. Say my favorite part of the job would definitely be being part of the Hilo group, the part where we support the Hilo flight ops. I'm also responsible for filling the Hilo, testing the JP5. I want to make sure there's no water in the field, no sediment, so when I give them good fuel, I like to feel pride in making sure that they got everything they need to take off and do what they have to do. MSC civilian mariners now operate on roughly 110 ships across the globe, ranging from small talkboats to 900 foot long hospital ships. Specialist, Raul Pacheco, Fastlane Naval Base, Scotland.
