USNI News Dear readers – When I joined USNI News earlier this year, I had no idea what it’d be like to transition into a new job, virtually, during a global pandemic. After four months, I’ve learned not only how to start a new gig from my kitchen table, but how to cover the Navy’s fleet exercises and global operations through phone calls and video conferences. Shifting from in-person source building to coffee chats via video has been an interesting challenge during these unprecedented times. Through all of the changes and adjustments, we’ve worked hard to bring you accurate, in-depth reporting on the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
