I have read All Hands magazine every month for the past five years while I have been in the Navy.  My first duty Station was USS San Diego (AFS 6), a combat support supply ship. The reason I am writing this to you, is because I don't think the AFS community gets enough recognition it deserves. The men and women of these fine ships work hard and fast to support the fleet, we are talking about ConRep, VertRep, fueling, etc. Most of the time, they work around- the-clock and are more than willing to make a sacrifice to ensure that the mission is completed safely and productively. I would like to dedicate thisletter to the men and women who served on support ships and to thank them fora job well done.
