    Norfolk Naval Shipyard Lifting and Handling Department (Code 700) Rigger Shop (Shop 72) USS Montpelier (SSN 765) project riggers Chad Saeger (left), Domonique Kuy (center), and Kai Loree (right) are all NNSY apprentice program graduates who now train rigger apprentices. “We train the apprentices in all aspects of being a rigger,” said Saeger. “Our cranes can lift upwards of 100,000 pounds, which can be dangerous. It is my job to teach these young apprentices how to do the job safely and proficiently because one day, they will be training apprentices as well and that is the part that feels awarding to me knowing that I helped train the trainer.”
