Norfolk, VA — The deck department’s leading petty officer onboard USS Mesa Verde (LPD-19) was proud to announce that everyone in berthing managed to shower and do their laundry without having to be told, sources confirmed this morning.
“I can’t believe it!” said Boatswain’s Mate First Class Dan Nagle. "35 people in the berthing, and they’ve all mastered a task done by most 12-year-olds. This is a proud day for deck department.”
