NASNI Health Clinic provides warfighter support to MSRON 11

18 October 2022

From Petty Officer 3rd Class Raphael McCorey

The medical component of the mobilization process that effectively prepares reserve Sailors for active duty has occurred for Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron (MSRON) 11 thanks to the efforts from Naval Air Station North Island (NASNI) Health Clinic, Oct. 18.
 
“The mobilization process brings an active reserve Sailor on active duty, so you have a lot of administrative and medical requirements to make sure they’re ready to deploy,” said Cmdr. Stephen Oraker, MSRON 11 mission commander. “There’s going to be things that need to be updated and done within a certain period of time, it’s a long process and making sure that it’s done quickly so we can move on is what we’re looking for.”
 
Oraker, who has been through the mobilization process several times, appreciates NASNI medical team’s support with enabling a smooth transition.

“The overall process has been highly efficient. There was solid prep work and coordination with the clinic in the months leading up to the event and the plan was well executed by the clinic,” added Oraker.  “I can appreciate the detail and thoroughness that the clinic put into the process, which ultimately translates to a smooth transition to active duty for the team.”
 
Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Eric Pietsch, one of the roughly 150 Sailors processed, also acknowledges the warfighter support from NASNI Health Clinic and how effectively and meticulously the medical team attends to each sailor.
 
“I feel like these medical professionals are here helping, and in my opinion, I couldn’t do all this alone,” said Pietsch. “I feel like we’re being taken care of and there’s always last minute things that pop up that you catch on the back end of course, but we’ve been preparing for this for quite some time.”
 
Information Systems Technician 2nd Class Jonathan Bradley, another reservist who underwent the mobilization process, credits the preparation in part to a mock mobilization previously hosted by Navy Reserve Center (NRC) Los Angeles.

“A lot of people liked it because it let the reservists know what to look forward to in the future, such as this medical mobilization process,” said Bradley, “There’s a lot of guys in our unit mobilizing for the first time, and we got to tell them, this is what you have to do. I think it’s gone pretty well.”
 
“Our mission right now is to activate, we activate so we can train, we train so we can deploy, and we deploy so we can accomplish the mission,” said Oraker. “I think this being that first step in this process - going through that smoothly so that we can get all the standards completed and move on to the next phase - it’s like stepping off on that right foot, so we get the job done.”
