No probs, my freind.Great photos Jeff. Thanks for posting with the information. I'm very happy to see the flight deck aboard GRF in nearly full operation.
They are taking their time. They have a new class carrier, with new CATAPULTS, new Engineering, new Trap systsms, and new weapons and fuel delivery systems...all of which have to be broguht completely up to speed and made to work right and have SOps for all situations.
Not to mention a new deck layout, a new island and pri-fly, etc.
They are carefully working up to full operations and making sure they do it right so the follow on carriers will have play books to work from...day or night

The CNO has revised the hire regs for female sailors...I've noticed lately lots of different hair dos for female sailors. Now ponytails are authorized. To me this is dangerous in a hazardous environment. Of course I'm not running the show...

Female sailors can soon sport several new hairstyles including locks, ponytails and options that fall below the collar in certain uniforms, according to new approved regulations announced Tuesday.
Lock, or loc, hairstyles and buns that span the width of the back of a female sailor's head will now be authorized for women in all uniforms. Ponytails will be OK in service, working or physical-training uniforms -- provided there's no operational safety concern. And hairstyles that hit beneath shirt, dress or jacket collars will be approved in dinner-dress uniforms.
The changes were approved by Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson and Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Bob Burke, and announced by six members of a working group during a Navy Facebook Live event.
Richardson credited the working group, which took feedback from the fleet, with coming up with and presenting the new grooming recommendations.
"We just demonstrated that a recommendation can make things happen, so I want to hear from you," he said.
If a female sailor's hair falls beneath the collar now, she’s limited to buns, braids or cornrows. Ponytails were only previously authorized in PT uniforms.
Last year, Richardson approved a move to allow female sailors wearing ball caps to wear their bun through the hat's opening rather than underneath it.
The Marine Corps was the first service to approve locks for women in 2015. The Army also authorized dreadlocks for women earlier this year.
Some black female service members have complained that they've been forced to wear wigs in uniform in order for their hairstyles to meet military standards. Hairstyles like locks give those women more options for styling their natural hair.
Richardson said policies and regulations shouldn't just make the Navy more lethal toward its adversaries, but should also make the service more inclusive.
Full details, including a timeline on the changes and implementation guideline, will be announced in an upcoming service-wide administrative message.
