| Coleman, Christopher | E-5 / IT2 | Jun 22, 2002 – Jul 5, 2005 | OPS / OC | Originally, the CO/OPS/CMC were great. The later chain-of-command was difficult to deal with and seemed to enjoy doing things the harder way. The later XO was good. Anyway, I think the CPO mess could use a lot of work but Good Luck to everyone left! |
| Dunkle, Travis | OS2 (SW) | Jun 24, 2002 – Oct 9, 2005 | OI | Not a lot of reenlistments if you know what I mean. If I hadn't been on the VLG I probably wouldn't have gotten out. "I run for the HEALTH of it" |

| Wagner, Timothy | OS1 | Jul 12, 2002 – Mar 1, 2005 | OI Division | Was proud to be the LPO for the finest OI Division in the fleet. It was too bad that the Chief's mess was so corrupt, with the CMC getting fired and all. Heard it only got worse after I left. |
