This month, the HSMWSL Khaki mess welcomed some new faces and said goodbye to some absolute legends! Whether their showing up or moving on, we're all excited for their futures!

In January, we were able to recognize some of our incredible Sailors and Civilians for the hard work and dedication. Congratulations to our unrivaled EWRC team, AO1 Mezimillen, AWR1 Carlson, and YN2 Hernandez!

Happy Holidays from HSMWSL!

As we kick off this special season, HSMWSL gathered for our annual holiday party. While together, we took the time to raise a special toast to our "Of The Year" awarded! Congratulations to the following: AO1 Mezimillen, AW1 Carlson, AWR1 Hill, AWRC Kowsh, AO2 Cuertocasio, AO1 Watts, LT Frick, and LT Evans!

As we move into the holiday season, HSMWSL gives thanks for those that make this command special and the families that support them everyday!

Another Promotion in the books!

Yesterday AGC McGee promoted to the rank of Chief Petty Officer! After a long and intense Chief season, AGC finally got to wear his Anchors with pride. Now he begins the next step of his Navy career and is ready to lead and train the junior sailors. NAVY CHIEF, NAVY PRIDE!

Its promotion season at HSMWSL!

Yesterday, AWR1 Tyler Hill was promoted under the Combat Meritorious Advancement Program for his hard work and personal efforts this past summer while deployed with HSM-72. His dedication and skill made him a clear choice for advancement to First Class Petty Officer. Congratulations AWR1 Hill!

And today, our very own Senior Enlisted Advisor at HSMWSL, AWRCM Shawn Cossins, was advanced to the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer! Over his career, AWRCM Cossins played a vital role in training the future warfighters of the HSM community as well as mentored the junior sailors in their own Naval careers. His promotion to Master Chief was both well earned and long overdue. Congratulations AWRCM Cossins!

Another successful HARP!

HSMWSL continues to train the next tacticians for the US Naval fleet and increase interoperability by operating with our Joint partners, USMC and USCG!
