 Sailors from USS Donald Cook in Rota Spain got the opportunity to give back to their community by joining up with David Glasgow Farragut Elementary in the partnerships program. Each sailor is paired up with a class and given the opportunity to do something that they're not used to. We're basically an overall assistant to the teacher, anything that they need to just be that that extra person so the kids have somebody else to to look up to. Sailors aren't the only one who benefit from the program. The students also get a glimpse into what life is like in the military. He got a chance to see what they do on the daily basis and then they built a rapport with him and he told them a lot about himself and what he does. The experience is not only rewarding for sailors, but also helps give them a taste of home. A lot of us on the ship, we don't get a chance to see our kids all the time, so it gives me a chance to kind of get back into my normal routine of seeing kids again.
