Reporting for duty

Council President Eric Garcetti will be on the receiving end of orders this week when he reports for duty aboard the aircraft carrier USS Reagan in San Diego for a week-long tour as part of his Naval reserve duties.
Lt. Garcetti, who is a trained information officer, said he cannot divulge details of his assignment that is in addition to his annual two weeks of service in the reserve. Garcetti joined the reserve three years ago. In addition to the basic training, he also received specialized intelligence training last year.
"This will be a different experience," Garcetti said, adding he is not sure how he will adjust to an extended period at sea, even though it is only a week. "I'll be there in a support capacity and looking forward to taking and giving orders."
