Energy awareness matters at VP-69

 

On behalf of Maritime Patrol Squadron 69, Cmdr. Eyran Richards, the Reserve P-3C squadron Commanding Officer (left), accepts the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Fourth Quarter Energy Conservation Award from base Commanding Officer Capt. Michael Nortier on Oct. 10, 2014. The squadron was not only upgraded with energy efficient appliances, but it continues to turn off lights when their spaces are not in use and shut down computers after the day has ended.  One of the biggest changes they made was to stand up a Green Team to help educate Sailors on the Navy’s energy awareness program.
