 I'm Ensign Jude Stewart and I am the Electronic Warfare Officer on board USS Carter Hall LSD-50. So day one checking on board after graduating JOD school to Carter Hall, we were underway. I was instantly conning officer and I felt a level of familiarity and comfort that I know I wouldn't have had if I hadn't had about approximately 100 hours of simulator time. So we didn't have to spend a lot of time getting the basic standard commands or ship handling procedures. We could move on to advanced evolutions. One of those was recently we just completed a SWAT exercise and I was at OOD for simulated straights transit and my comfort level while I was nervous of course was never, I was never in doubt of my abilities and the foundation from that confidence was built in JOD. I definitely owe a lot of my success to the teachers and instructors at JOD. They were awesome.
