Catchin' Up
Seasons Greetings from MOHAWK! It’s been quite a busy week since leaving our loved ones on the pier. The seas were pretty rough the first few days underway and we all breathed a sigh of relief once we arrived in the calm, welcoming seas of the patrol area. Since then, the crew has been very busy with numerous cases and even some joint agency flight operations!
To get in the spirit of things many of the officers and chiefs have decorated their doors and staterooms with Christmas lights and wrapping paper. Deck berthing strung lights and the Ship’s office wrapped themselves up like a present. All in all, MOHAWK looks very festive and I hope that spirit continues to grow.
