On April 29th Resolve Marine Group hosted its annual Damage Control Olympics. This year was the best yet! Featuring the newly introduced Resolve Fire Girls. Each girl represented one of the six Navy and Coast Guard vessels and helped cheer them on throughout the day. They were an instant hit with the Damage Control participants and all in attendance. The six vessels that participated included the USS Iwo Jima, the USS Mitscher, the USS Vella Gulf, the USCGC Reliance, the USS Ramage, and the USS Carter Hall.

This years First Place Winner was the USS Iwo Jima, who scored an impressive 46. They also broke a Resolve record in the firefighting event, finishing the event in 3:41 which beat the previous record of 4:00. In Second Place was the USS Mitscher, finishing with a score of 27. Third Place was the USS Carter Hall with a score of 25, Fourth was the USCGC Reliance with 14, Fifth was the USS Vella Gulf scoring 8, and Sixth was the USS Ramage which scored 6 points.

We hope all that attended enjoyed the day and the events and we look forward to continually improving the DC Olympics. See you in 2009!
