Road Trip: Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida

NAS Jacksonville is located in Duval County, Florida, within the city limits of Jacksonville. The base sits on a piece of land between the St. Johns River and Ortega River historically called Black Point. The airbase is part of the overall Jacksonville Naval Complex, a collection of Navy Bases in the Jacksonville Metropolitan Area that include Naval Station Mayport, the former Naval Air Station Cecil Field (now Cecil Airport), Naval Outlying Landing Field Whitehouse, and the Pinecastle Range Complex.

NAS Jacksonville hosts seven active P-8A/P-3C squadrons, three reserve squadrons and four helicopter squadrons. Additional major tenants include Commander, Navy Region Southeast; Fleet Readiness Center Southeast; Naval Hospital Jacksonville; Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southeast; Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville and Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing Eleven.

Some 90 other tenant activities also call the station home. NAS Jacksonville is one of the largest employers in the area and contributes to the growth and prosperity of Northeast Florida with an economic impact in excess of $2 billion annually.

Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) is the largest tenant command aboard Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Fl., with several offsite locations. Established in 1940, the facilities at FRCSE have turned out almost every type of Navy aircraft - fighter and attack planes, patrol, antisubmarine, reconnaissance, transport, trainer, special configuration and helicopters.

The overall workload for FRCSE has expanded to include the rework of engines, components, and ground support equipment, plus other support functions vital to the Fleet.

The NAS Jacksonville Environmental Department implements programs that ensure environmental compliance, prevent pollution, sustain natural and cultural resources and promote continual improvement of the Station environmental management system while providing services, materials, and facilities to enable war fighter readiness.

The Station Natural Resources Management Program encompasses fish and wildlife conservation, forestry, land use, and conservation based education and recreation on four separate properties.

Breaking the Cycle

Bible in a Year:

• Genesis 29–30
• Matthew 9:1–17

If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

2 Corinthians 5:17

David’s first beating came at the hands of his father on his seventh birthday, after he accidentally broke a window. “He kicked me and punched me,” David said. “Afterward, he apologized. He was an abusive alcoholic, and it’s a cycle I’m doing my best to end now.” 

But it took a long time for David to get to this point. Most of his teen years and twenties were spent in jail or on probation, and in and out of addiction treatment centers. When it felt like his dreams were entirely dashed, he found hope in a Christ-centered treatment center through a relationship with Jesus. 

“I used to be filled with nothing but despair,” David says. “Now I’m pushing myself in the other direction. When I get up in the morning, the first thing I tell God is that I’m surrendering my will over to Him.” 

When we come to God with lives shattered, whether by others’ wrongdoing or by our own, God takes our broken hearts and makes us new: “If anyone is in Christ, . . . the old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Christ’s love and life breaks into the cycles of our past, giving us a new future (vv. 14–15). And it doesn’t end there! Throughout our lives, we can find hope and strength in what God has done and continues to do in us—each and every moment.

Reflect & Pray

Where were you headed when you received Jesus as your Savior? How does it help to know that God continues to shape your life to increasingly resemble His?   

Dear God, thank You for interrupting the downward trajectory of my life and making me a new creation! Make me ever more like You.

Evening PROCON!

[laurenmarlowe]

Good evening to you left that other site!

[radu]

Actually, I woke up late today. I set the alarm for 1:00 but before going to bed this morning, I forgot to slide the button so it would go off. Woke up at 3:00. Glad there wasn’t anything I was supposed to do!

I did wake up at 8:30 for a potty trip and saw it snowing hard. Snapped a couple of pix through the window, then went back to sleep.

Ah...you caught me just in time!

I was just about to hit the sack. }-) Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[laurenmarlowe]

Need an early evening here, too much craziness for a person to manage in one day.

Have a pleasant evening!
