Road Trip: Naval Support Activity Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Naval Support Activity Philadelphia is a 134 acres United States Navy base located in the Lawncrest section of Northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and located 113 miles east of its parent command, NSA Mechanicsburg. With the exception of a few buildings, much of the base is industrial in style, and consists of office-converted warehouses for the various Naval supply commands located on the installation.

According to the base guide, its warehouse offices and other buildings amount to 2,250,000 square feet of cubic space on the base. It also provides support services to Navy units that are situated at the Philadelphia Navy Yard Annex.

Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) are the two major tenants of the installations. Navy Recruiting Command's District Philadelphia is headquartered here as well, along with Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Squadron 104, U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps's San Antonio Division and the Navy Special Emphasis Office of the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA). The Navy Office of Civilian Human Resources has also maintained its Philadelphia Operations Center on the base.

The Defense Logistics Agency manages the end-to-end global defense supply chain -- from raw materials to end user disposition -- for the five military services, 11 combatant commands, other federal, state and local agencies partner and allied nations. DLA offerings include Equipment Disposition, Document Services, Products and Materials, Services, and Programs.

NSWC Philadelphia Division's Mission is to provide research, development, test and evaluation, acquisition support, engineering, systems integration, in-service engineering and fleet support with cyber-security, comprehensive logistics, and life-cycle savings through commonality for surface and undersea vehicle machinery, ship systems, equipment and material and to execute other responsibilities as assigned by Commander, Naval Surface Warfare Center (COMNAVSURFWARCEN).

Whale of a Story

Read: Jonah 2:1–10

The Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. Jonah 2:10

Michael was diving for lobster when a humpback whale caught him in its mouth. He pushed back in the darkness as the whale’s muscles squeezed against him. He thought he was done. But whales don’t prefer lobstermen, and thirty seconds later the whale spit Michael into the air. Amazingly, Michael had no broken bones—only extensive bruises and one whale of a story.

He wasn’t the first. Jonah was swallowed by “a huge fish” (Jonah 1:17), and he stayed in its belly for three days before being vomited onto land (1:17; 2:10). Unlike Michael, who was caught by accident, Jonah was swallowed because he hated Israel’s enemies and didn’t want them to repent. When God told Jonah to preach in Nineveh, he caught a boat going the other way. So God sent a whale-sized fish to get his attention.

I appreciate why Jonah hated the Assyrians. They’d harassed Israel in the past, and within fifty years they’d carry the northern tribes into captivity where they’d vanish forever. Jonah was understandably offended that Assyria might be forgiven.

But Jonah was more loyal to the people of God than to the God of all people. God loved Israel’s enemies and wanted to save them. He loves our enemies and wants to save them. With the wind of the Spirit at our backs, let’s sail toward them with the good news of Jesus. — Mike Wittmer

Who do you know that needs to follow Jesus? How might you increase your love for them?

Jesus, please show me how to love my enemies as You love them.

Thanks, lauren, for today's Road Trip ~ Naval Support Activity Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

My company blocked fotki and my own website. GRRRRR!!
I was able to get my own back because it is only graphics and not "Games", but no fotki.
So I'm using my laptop so I can still work and FReep. My desk is very crowded. LOL!

Hope you don't need an ark.

Howdy, lauren. *Hugz*

Quite a bit quieter in your neck o’ da woods this evening. I hope y’all are benefitting from the front that came through over the weekend and enjoying some cool weather like we are.

[laurenmarlowe]

Thank you!

Howdy MA!

[laurenmarlowe]

Hi there radu!

OMG, the difference over the weekend and yesterday was just fantastic!

So nice outside, and glad to hear you are enjoying a bit of relief yourself.

*HUGS*

[radu]

LOL! I take that as a yes. Glad you’re getting some relief and it sounds like it’s splendid. It certainly is here today. Too bad summer will be back by the weekend.

We’d better enjoy this while we can!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

I hope today has been a lot less hectic than last week.

Ya reckon y’all are ever going to see the sun again?

[radu]

Howdy, PRO!

How’s it going up your way? Are y’all dealing with any smoke from fires or are you lucky enough to miss out on that mess?
