The document summarizes the USS Nimitz's annual career fair, where over 500 sailors participated and had the opportunity to win a $400 video camera. IC3 Fleming won the camera by answering a puzzle posed by MA1 Robbins. The fair was led by Nimitz and airwing career counselors and coordinated by NC1 Wallace, and provided sailors with information about programs like the Post-9/11 GI Bill and PTS. Over 200 copies of the CVW-11 Career Wise newsletter were also distributed.

1. Congratulations to IC3 Fleming of V-2 Air Department USS Nimitz for winning the JVC Everio Video Camera
and was counseled via the winning puzzle by MA1 Robbins, VAW117 CCC, during the Annual Career Fair
onboard USS Nimitz. Career Fair 2009 was held at the Mess Deck led by Nimitz & Airwing CCCs. NC1
Wallace led in providing all the logistics & coordination. The highlight was the raffling of a $400+ Video
Camera (sponsored by Nimitz MWR) but with a catch. In order to be drawn, Sailors must answer either one
of the puzzles and to get the answers must approach any of the counselors at the table during the fair. A
fun way to do a training from Post 9-11 GI Bill & NCPACE to PTS to STA-21. An estimated 1,000 Sailors
participated & 500 in the drawing. CCCs also distributed over 200 copies of the popular CVW-11Post 9-11 GI
Bill.
“Career Fair was not all about the $400 camera but about Sailor’s “priceless” career. We hope that
everyone shall follow-through in what the Sailors have learned from the Career Counselors (from CCC down
to divisional career counselors) during the fair. Counselors provided direction and counsel about the many
programs & incentives.” – NCC Astro.
