Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Karline Faulk, from San Diego, teaches a child how to wrap a bandage on a simulated patient aboard USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76).

Ronald Reagan is currently underway, hosting friends and family day, an event where nearly 3,000 civilian guests joined the ship’s crew for a special one-day underway.

“Why Being There Matters”
On our planet, more than 70 percent of which is covered by water, being there means having the ability to act from the sea. The Navy is uniquely positioned to be there; the world’s oceans give the Navy the power to protect America’s interests anywhere, and at any time. Your Navy protects and defends America on the world’s oceans. Navy ships, submarines, aircraft and, most importantly, tens of thousands of America’s finest young men and women are deployed around the world doing just that. They are there now. They will be there when we are sleeping tonight. They will be there every Saturday, Sunday and holiday this year. They are there around the clock, far from our shores, defending America at all times.
