1 August 2010- Reenlistment. As part of the all volunteer force crew members commit to serve a set number of years. Once their enlistment is up they have the option to extend their service and re-enlist. Recently Petty Officer Humbert signed up to serve a few more years and re-affirmed his oath in a short ceremony on the mess decks. A couple of pictures from the day are posted along with the oath of re-enlistment at the bottom of the page.
