Learn to work together and be part of a team. Seaman Communication Information System - Information Specialist (SMNCIS-I) Grisadarporn Nordisar (left), Seaman Communication Information System - Communications Specialist Alex Meiklejohn and SMNCIS-I Kyle Bergan (right) conduct a fault finding exercise in the Communication Centre Simulator. Being able to identify communications faults and restore data and voice networks quickly, is pivotal and often requires more than one person to fix. An extended delay in the restoration of communications services could be the difference between you pulling into your favourite port or having to stay at sea for another week because the Commanding Officer missed a key message. That is why being part of a team and working together is crucial. At the Maritime Communication Information System Wing, you will learn how to be part of a well respected team, and how to be precise, concise and efficient meaning that your Commanding Officer and ship will remain connected - always! *** Local Caption *** Meet some of the Navys newest communicators currently under training at HMAS Cerberus. Alex, Kyle & Grisadarporn all started their journeys with the Navy through the ANC, they are well on their way to careers in the Information Warfare community.

A fleet of plug-in electric vehicles sits ready to roll at Los Angeles Air Force Base in El Segundo, Calif., on Oct. 31, 2014. The new fleet is the first installation in the Department of Defense to replace its entire non-tactical fleet with electric and hybrid vehicles. The electric vehicles will charge directly from the local utility grid enabling Los Angeles AFB personnel to utilize the electric vehicles as transportation within the base. When called-upon, and when connected to the electric vehicle, the bi-directional charging station will switch power flow directions in order to support vehicle-to-grid energy request by discharging the electric vehicle’s onboard battery.
