      <title>The Rigger's Crucible: How Hands-On Training Builds a Professional</title>
      <link>https://www.navsea.navy.mil/Media/News/Article-View/Article/4480490/the-riggers-crucible-how-hands-on-training-builds-a-professional/</link>
      <description>Amidst a maze of piping, cables, and tight submarine passageways, an electric motor suspended inches from the deck makes its way towards its new location. A team of skilled shipyard workers executes a seamless dance of communication and physics to move the heavy motor through a tight scuttle. Swinging the motor between two chain-falls, the way Tarzan moves through the jungle canopy, each line takes the load in turn, every move purposeful, each person in sync as the load shifts between chains.

These men and women are known as riggers, and they are the experts at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility when something needs to be moved safely and efficiently, no matter the size.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;img src='https://media.defense.gov/2026/May/07/2003925881/150/150/0/260224-N-GX910-1006.JPG' alt='Leslie Bovaird, lead nuclear engineer and Executive Leadership Development (EDP) Cadre A 2026 participant at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility lowers a pipe using a chain-fall during a training exercise at the Learning Center on March 24, 2026. The exercise provides a glimpse into the multi-year training pipeline that develops skilled riggers and gives future leaders a perspective of the craft that is a staple of shipyard life.' /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

      <title>From Mortars to Mentorship: How a Veteran Now Shapes the Shipyard’s Next Generation</title>
      <link>https://www.navsea.navy.mil/Media/News/Article-View/Article/4459735/from-mortars-to-mentorship-how-a-veteran-now-shapes-the-shipyards-next-generati/</link>
      <description>Donald Thompson’s journey to the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard &amp; Intermediate Maintenance Facility was anything but direct, spanning three decades and three branches of the U.S. armed forces.
Thompson now serves his fourth branch of the military – the Navy – as an air conditioning equipment mechanic at the shipyard. A former Marine mortarman, Air Force Reserve mechanic, and Coast Guard machinery technician, Thompson’s varied career has settled on his current mission: training the next generation of shipyard mechanics.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;img src='https://media.defense.gov/2026/Apr/14/2003912937/150/150/0/260224-N-GC612-2007.JPG' alt='Donald Thompson, an air conditioning equipment mechanic with Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility, observes another mechanic demonstrate how to adjust a refrigeration thermal expansion valve on a training device, Feb. 24, 2026. Thompson assesses mechanics to ensure they can troubleshoot and not just replace parts. PHNSY &amp;amp; IMF’s mission is to keep the Navy’s fleet “Fit to Fight” by repairing, maintaining, and modernizing the Navy&amp;#39;s fast-attack submarines and surface ships. Strategically located in the heart of the Pacific, it is the most comprehensive fleet repair and maintenance facility between the U.S. West Coast and the Far East.' /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
