It’s 7:30AM on our second day on the USS Nimitz and the 15 bloggers and I joined lots of the enlists for breakfast. After eating eggs, bacon and juice, I captured Petty Officer John Hardy for a short conversation. Petty Officer Hardy has been in the navy 10 years, and is a maintenance worker repairing guns and the aircraft. From Grand Rapids Michigan, Hardy joined the Navy to get a college education and grow up with more opportunities. He talks to me about the challenges of his work as well as his travel to Dubai.
