Flight deck crew does a FOD walk in 120+ degree heat (and high humidity) on board the USS Reagan (CVN 76), underway in the Arabian Gulf. I will do my best to never complain about the heat again after watching these kids drag chains, move aircraft, do maintenance and refuel planes with tutrtlenecks, long sleeves and float coats on, the sun beating down and the heat of jet engines to top it all off.

FOD - Foreign Object Damage. This Sailor holds up a tiny piece of something that he found on the deck of the USS Reagan. Videographer Colin Kelly just got back from Afghanistan where he flew in an Afghan National Army Air Corps MI-17 helo after hearing about the maintainer replacing the fuel filter and dropping all kinds of FOD under the bird.

Fitness equipment is spread out all over the USS Reagan (CVN 76), some inside, some outside, allowing Sailors to work out close to home or close to work, or as far away from it all as they can get.
