On April 8, 2016, I had the honor and privilege to be part of the hiring process for two new OMAO (NOAA Ship) crew members, Mr. Michael Jones (Relief Crew Member) and Mr. Godfrey Gittens (Able Seaman). Mr. Michael Jones and Mr. Godfrey Gittens were sworn-in today aboard the research ship BASELINE EXPLORER, at Port Everglades. Mr. Gittens will be attached to the NOAA ship FAIRWEATHER, homeported out of Charleston, SC. Mr. Jones has yet to be assigned a ship. It was a picture perfect day for a memorable occasion.

I would like to thank Capt. Larry Bennett and the crew of the BASELINE EXPLORER, for allowing us the use of his ship for this event.
