 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Ian Cotter. These are your headlines for Friday, July 18th. Patrol Squadron 16, or VP16, completed its first deployment July 16th, marking the first operational deployment of the P-8A Poseidon. VP16 conducted anti-submarine, intelligence, maritime domain awareness, and reconnaissance missions in the 7th Fleet Area of Responsibility. VP16 also provided two aircraft to assist in the search for the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370. Navy Personnel Command's Customer Service Center, or CSC, gives sailors information and support with just a phone call. The CSC assists sailors with questions on topics such as programs, policies, and detailing. If they cannot answer a certain question, they'll refer you to a subject matter expert who can. Call the NPC Customer Service Center at 1-866-UASC-NPC, or email them at uasknpc at navy.mil.
