For some the progression from adolescents to adult is gradual, while others experience jarring abrupt changes that seemingly overnight transform them from child to grown-up.

We were Warriors! This is a public service announcement brought to you by the Warriors of Weapons Division G-2! You are about to see actual footage from the first very first ship that entered Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Ladies and gentleman I invite you to view this real footage with understanding, and open mind.
