Your Navy quiz of the day, what is the MANTIS?
Multi-Aircraft Nose and Tail Interface System (MANTIS), USS Harry S. Truman
Hint, MANTIS stands for Multi-Aircraft Nose and Tail Interface System. (And no, it is not some giant scale for Sailors who are slightly out of regs.)
Father and Daughter Aboard USS Harry S. Truman Together
Prepare your heart for some mild, autumn warming. Onboard the Harry S., a Senior Chief and his Petty Officer Third Class daughter are deployed together. It’s GM3 Breanna Janssen’s first cruise, while her dad is the leading chief petty officer of maintenance for the Seahawks, of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 126:
GM3 Breanna Janssen and Senior Chief David Janssen

Anna Watson: One Swole Cheerleader
Look, it is pretty easy. If you go around saying things like this:
“I know that my identity is not in working out,”
Anna Watson said.
“It’s not who I am.
It’s not what I want people to see me as.”
You probably should not be popping buff poses like this:
- Anna Watson, UGA Cheerleader, Future Navy Sailor?
Heck, with those guns,
Anna should be an Ordie (an Ordnanceman),
loading and unloading missiles onto an F-18:

- Aviation Ordnancemen unload ordnance from an F/A-18 Hornet on the flight deck aboard USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75.) Anna Watson, UGA Cheerleader, is an Ordie?
She’s already got the red shirt, right?
Update: Welcome curious readers. Yes, I am in the Navy and still active-duty. For some light reading, please read this on my sole SEAL deployment. (I was a test-subject.) Or, how about some stories of when I worked as a bike messenger? Make yourself at home.
