March 29, 2012(FHTNC)--Navy Seaman Recruit Tiffany R. Odom, daughter of Reba

J. Givens of Robertsdale, Ala. and John W. Givens, of Robertsdale, Ala., is

currently deployed. Odom along with fellow Sailors and Marines aboard the

aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) hosted a material, maintenance and

management assist (3MA) team, as they evaluated the ship's 3M program.

The 3MA team consists of senior enlisted members ranging from chief petty

officers to master chief petty officers from Commander, Naval Air Force's 3M

training department. They are responsible for assessing Enterprise's 3M

program and training Sailors to be more successful at 3M.

The purpose of this visit is to find out where the ship stands right now in

their maintenance program. This serves as an indicator to tell the ship

where and what they need to improve at, whether it's procedure, a tag-out or

something involving personal protective equipment.

The 3MA team conducts multiple spot checks with various work-centers in an

effort to evaluate the effectiveness of the ship's 3M program. The 3MA visit

is designed to help raise that awareness and train Sailors on how to improve

the ship's 3M practices.
