John Phillips
Fire Main Technician
Seven years at NNS

“I’ve been with the Kennedy for all seven years, working the same systems. I have seen it come together from the ground to now functioning and operating. Since it’s been so long, I’m learning how to accept someone else touching these systems. I’m used to doing so much of it myself. Usually, I am at the pump stations in the ship, but I will be seeing the washdown happen from flight deck. I’m looking forward to that.”
