 Living and working on a ship can be difficult, so it helps when the crew gets along and has solid teamwork. For US's pioneer, these sailors chose to team build through sports. Helps out a lot on the ship, stressful life on the ship, so whenever we get into this, have some good plays, have some good laughs on the ship about it, helps out, works the day out a little bit easier. Work can be a stressful environment, plus getting to know some of the guys a little bit better helps, so you get a camaraderie in there and building a ship spirit and everything, so it helps out a lot. Teamwork is the cornerstone for any ship to complete its mission, and these sailors work to build that on and off duty. Petty Officer Nicholas Vickery, Fleet Activities, Sassawa, Japan.
