In a complete coincidence, all the BENFOLD “navigators” happened to be in the same place today! Between the three of us, we are going on to WTI school, take command, and go on to do a tour with industry at Amazon. Loved working with these two, and so glad you both got to work with BENFOLD’s amazing navigation team! Thanks for taking over while I was laid up with a broken hip — we make one great team. #justnavigatorthings #ussbenfold #ddg65 (at Tacos House YAS) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwB1cZvBPkg8_1BeIa5YiXqTD8xPvC-q-9K2cg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14q25jfsnc27e

My division gifted me as a farewell the underway steamer flown the last 2 weeks of our March patrol to the East China Sea. It flew while I conducted my last sea and anchor details as Navigator, and my only inbound transit into Yokosuka as Officer of the Deck. I’ve loved being NAV and this tour has been simultaneously the most challenging, but the most rewarding last couple of years. I’m so grateful to my division for teaching me and working with me to try to master the art of navigation — every detail (96 of them!) I’ve learned something new. Looking forward to continuing our stay in Yokosuka for the next couple of years at ATG. #navigator #fdnf #usnavy #ddg65 #usflag #americanflag (at U.S. Naval Base Yokosuka, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4BVDvhje71qRTGEnfGLZX6RdD8jr-jC-leZA0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oj8vkegr9y61

My last inbound transit into YOKOSUKA, and it happened to be manned by an all-female team! So proud to be the Officer of the Deck to this team of incredible women! #usnavy #womenshistorymonth #fdnf #ussbenfold #ddg65 (at Yokosuka, Kanagawa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv1bfSyhVagxnYThcfpspouXkJ-Yt_jDBbz7Sc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11ej1c5ux8t8v

Re-enlisted my Senior Chief for another 4 years in the navy! Doing re-enlistments underway is the only way to do it — thanks for your service QMCS! #benniebook #ddg65 #fdnf #ussbenfold (at East China Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvIdI3FhSuaBrXFpCFFxp4pschQxnZtO4jb3940/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2tyrtu5tnbd3
