Norfolk, twice.

Thus spake sequestration.

Well that is not good. Next thing you know they are going to lay up an East Coast AKE. Oh wait, that is already in the works.

Safeguard and Grapple aren’t tugs. What about the Apache and Sioux?

You are right they do more than tow. Apache and Sioux were spared.

Yikes! Next thing you know they will want to lay up an East Coast AKE. Oh…that is already in the works.

Three time’s a charm. Do it!

On another note, they just opened hiring on third mates and a couple of other positions.

Do you think Os will open anytime soon?

Check their website. There is no rhyme nor reason to when jobs open up.
