She saved a guys life on the ship...he fell and she had to jump on him or he would have been sucked into the jet exhaust. She is a "shooter" on the carrier USS Abe Lincoln.....a very dangerous job.

Way cool! Glad she didn't get sucked into the jet thingy.
I remember when you posted her just "setting sail"...
We'll be thinking of her daily.
