Scot Foster, a native of Upland, Cali., both assigned to the "Death Rattlers" of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 323, conduct a turnover brief during a hot seat evolution aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68). Nimitz is currently underway conducting Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX) with the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group in preparation for an upcoming deployment.
