Chief Yeoman Robert Lewis reenlists aboard a temporary Navy Ship, 2000 feet underground in one of four Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station's 1.5 million gallon water reservoirs on May 15, 2009, with Navy Captain Stephen Lurch Thompson, Director of the Cheyenne Mountain Division serving as the presiding officer. CMAFS, located 7,200 feet above sea level in Colorado Springs, Colo., is an unusual assignment location for Navy personnel, and even more rare is that there are four water reservoirs inside the complex built in the 1960s and still serving today. The reservoirs store water that bubbles from a natural spring located underneath the 15 building complex which today is operated and maintained by the United States Air Force Space Command. For Navy personnel assigned at CMAFS, located 1,500 miles from the nearest ocean, the water reservoirs serve as the best place to reenlist and observe the finest traditions of the Naval Service, while serving in Colorado Springs.
