HM-14 and HM-15 Joint Command Photo

Over the past month, both squadrons flew a combined 250+ hours in support of the international MCM component of RIMPAC based in San Diego, California. Working with seven partner nations, the Vanguard and Blackhawk sailors consistently demonstrated the ability to respond to rapid tasking and requests for AMCM assets.

As Women's History Month draws to a close, we would like to recognize all of the incredible women who contribute to the successes of the Vanguard and our country. These women exemplify the Navy core values of honor, courage, and commitment on a daily basis. This past month, HM-14 had the honor of hosting LCDR Karen Thornton, a retired CH-46 pilot, who shared her experiences as a member of the first class of female naval aviatiors at our Women's History Month round table. Thank you to all of the women who have served and continue to serve!

04/01/2022

Today we celebrate the 129th birthday of the rank of Chief Petty Officer. The importance of the Chiefs Mess cannot be stressed enough, their deckplate leadership, technical expertise, and ownership helps make our U.S. Navy the world's finest fighting force.

Congratulations to AT3 Shubert and AMAN Hernandez for being recognized as Plane Captain and Plane Captain Trainee for the month of October! Their effort and attention to detail were critical in preparing aircraft for flight each day!
SAILOR IN THE SPOTLIGHT DECEMBER 2021

Name: Kuilan Crespo, Wilbert

Rate/Rank: AZ2

Age: 31

Hometown: Toa Alta, Puerto Rico

High school: Emilio R. Delgado High School Class of 2008

Years in the Navy: 5 years, 3 months

Accomplishments:

AZ2 was critical to the remote deployment of two MH-53E's from Pohang, South Korea to Iwakuni, Japan in support of the multi-national joint exercise 3JA. Petty Officer Kuilan's outstanding technical and professional expertise enabled the processing of 286 hand written Maintenance Action Forms, completion of 29 Special and 15 Conditional inspections, and the tracking of 22 pieces of Aviation flight gear. All efforts resulted in the successful completion of 65 flight hours and the safe movement of three MH-53E aircraft and 70 maintenance/support personnel. Furthermore, upon return AZ2 ensured a 100 percent maintenance back fit and verification of all tracked and timed components.

AZ2 is without a doubt one of the Navy's top AZ's. He prides himself on professionalism, meeting deadlines and crucial attention to detail. Without AZ2s motivation and dedication to his craft, Exercise 3JA would have not been as successful.
Congratulations and a big SAFETY shout out to AWS2 Ullsperger who was presented a coin and recognized by BGen Bowers for superior safety service while acting as the Safety Petty Officer of DET2A! / DEC 1
