An F/A-18C Hornet assigned to the "Fist of the Fleet" of Strike Fighter Squadron 25 sits partially silhouetted against the orange sky of a rising sun as Petty Officer 3rd Class Kyle Alhers performs his morning routine. The routine for a plane captain begins far before the sun rises and many times can run far into the late night. The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan is currently deployed to the 5th Fleet/NAVCENT area of responsibility. Operations in the NAVCENT area of operations are focused on reassuring regional partners of the United States' commitment to security, which promotes stability and global prosperity.
