While leading fellow sailors under arms into potentially dangerous situations on VBSS missions, I had to call upon my Naval Academy training to overcome the unique leadership challenges, anxieties, and uncertainties that came with the diverse missions we were assigned. Inspections of suspect vessels forced us to focus on preparedness and judgment, while the charitable aspects of the mission imbued us with empathy and led to a newfound appreciation for the blessings we enjoyed because of the missions our Marines were performing. This perspective furthered the partnerships of the sailors and Marines of the 1st Expeditionary Strike Group and led to mutual respect between the Marines embarked on board ship and the VBSS sailors of Germantown.
