Trey "Flash" Prim teaches Seaman Matthew Siteman from Supply Department aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan what each piece of equipment's purpose is and why it is needed in the completion of flight operations. Siteman was given the opportunity to launch his first aircraft off the deck, as part of a shooter for the day Raffle held on board by the Combined Federal Campaign.
