    Norfolk Naval Shipyard Lifting and Handling Department (Code 700) Rigger Shop (Shop 72) USS John Warner (SSN 785) project rigger Laffon Brelland has been working at the shipyard for five years, previously working as a rigger at a private shipyard. “The thing I like about my job is that I am constantly learning new things,” said Brelland. “I might learn it from someone who’s been working here 20 plus years or down to an apprentice. I feel the key element in learning is to keep an open mind regardless of how long someone has been at the shipyard or what their position is.”
