Chanukkah aboard Lake Erie with the Mensch on a Bench

Each night of Chanukkah, my Mensch on a Bench appeared somewhere on the ship. 

I love that my crew got involved and came up with some really ideas. 

 On the first night of Chanukkah, the Mensch was home, celebrating the Festival of Lights.

On the second night of Chanukkah, the Mensch stood OOD UI (Under Instruction) with ENS COOPER.

On the third night of Chanukkah, the Mensch was helmsman.


On the third night of Chanukkah, the Mensch wanted to wish all who celebrate, a Merry Christmas!




On the fourth night of Chanukkah, the Mensch stood POOW (Petty Officer of the Watch) UI under now BM1 Ferry. He is about to announce over the 1MC the miracle of Chanukkah.

On the fifth night of Chanukkah, the Mensch was in Medical, practicing his stretcher bearer skills. He wants to join the MTT as soon as he has all his quals signed off.
 

 The Mensch is also going for his ESWS (Enlisted Surface Warfare) qualification. Today, he is reviewing the AFFF system, that helps us fight fires on the ship.

After all those latkes, the Mensch must PT, to stay in shape. 




 On the eighth night of Chanukkah, the Mensch was standing EOOW (Engineering Officer of the Watch) UI. It is a lot to learn!


 On the night after Chanukkah ended, the Mensch went to sleep in his rack (my rack). 
Until next year, Lake Erie. 
Thank you for celebrating Chanukkah with me.
