Any update on commissioning date? My ABF son told me it has been delayed yet again.

AMERICA families and friends,

It’s time to stand up our Family Readiness Group (FRG)! We are looking for spouses or significant others to serve as president, vice president, secretary and treasurer for our plank owner FRG. If you’re interested in one of these positions, please send a short resume stating your name, contact information and background (name of your spouse or significant other, how long you have been together, number and ages of children, your work and interests, etc.). Make sure you include the position you are interested in, what you believe this position is, and why you want to serve in this role. Send application to CMC@LHA6.NAVY.MIL.

The FRG is different than the ombudsman team as they serve different functions. The FRG provides a vital link between our families and the command by providing events allowing our families to interact even while our Sailors are away from home. Our FRG is the part of the team that helps keep our families together while we are away. They hold fun events such as movie night, deployment half way party, children play days at the park along with BBQ, and the big welcome home celebration!

All resumes must be received by Friday, January 24, 2014. We hope to hold interviews shortly after.

Very Respectfully,
CMC

(LJ)

131105-N-ZZ999-180 PASCAGOULA, Miss. - Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) America (LHA 6) departs Ingalls Shipyard Nov. 5 to begin Builder's Sea Trials. During the trials, the ship's main propulsion, communications, steering, navigational and radar systems will be tested for the first time at sea. America will be the first ship of its class, replacing the Tarawa class of amphibious assault ships. As the next generation "big-deck" amphibious ship, America will be optimized for aviation, capable of supporting current and future aircraft such as the tilt-rotor MV-22 Osprey and Joint Strike Fighter. The ship will provide flexible, multi-mission capabilities spanning from forward deployed crisis response to maritime security operations. The ship was christened on Oct. 20, 2012 and is currently undergoing construction in Pascagoula, Miss. (U.S. Navy photo illustration by Senior Chief Aviation Ordnanceman Lawrence Grove/Released
