“He’s a fire controlman FCA1, and I’m just a fire controlman, so FC1. We both deal with weapons systems and radars for weapons. I think it’s pretty impressive, but I’m really easy to impress.”

**Ahmed Sean Alford, Midshipman Second Class**   
“I like seeing all the different Navy personnel out in town and getting to do things with people that I’ve never met within the Navy. Because even if you’ve never met before you still have a common bond.”

**Daniel Wheeler, Undesignated Airman**  
“I’m an undesignated airman, so I don't have a rank but I'm part of a helicopter squad. We do maintenance on helicopters. We’re stationed in Norfolk, Virginia.”

**Maria Otero, Aviation Structural Mechanic Third Class**  
“I’ve gotten a reaction a lot from kids, that’s for sure. We saw some kids that were on a field trip to see us. The kids were like, Oh my god, and in awe. I’m just like, Oh wow, I guess I’m cool to look at!”

**Michael Nowak, Undesignated Airman**  
“It’s my first time in the City. I arrived Sunday. I felt like I was at home again, honestly, being from Chicago. I find it very similar being here, just being in the groove of a city. Everyone’s been very friendly. New Yorkers are great; great people. I mean, Chicagoans are better, but it’s all right.”

**Gene Douglas, Senior Chief Petty Officer**  
“I was here in 2000 for Fleet Week, but it’s been 17 years. I’m in awe of this city. I’m from a small town and I’m in awe of how big it is here, how big _up_ it is and how big down below, for crying out loud. I was in the subway this morning and it’s just amazing.”
