Chief Operations Specialist Noah Wicks, from McAlisterville, Pa., was thrilled to greet his children after returning home from deployment! And boy were they thrilled to see him!

C.O. Specialist Wicks had been serving aboard the USS Carney, which returned to Naval Station Mayport after a deployment in support of maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of operation.
