With the physical readiness test (PRT) coming to an end, it’s as important as ever for Sailors to continue to maintain their fitness. She aims to not only improve mental health ship-wide but physical health too as the gym onboard gets ready to reopen after 17 months of being inoperable due to a yards period. Stover is ready for as many ideas and as much feedback as the crew can throw at her. “I could come up with dozens of ideas for trips, tours, programs and tournaments, and no one will show up if it’s not what you guys want to do.” “I need to survey or poll the crew as much as I can,” Stover said. But, her first priority is to know what the Sailors want. She wants to get people together for movie nights, an ice cream social, theme park trips, gaming competitions, camping and a scavenger hunt. Some of Stover’s ideas include on and off ship activities. Working directly alongside the Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) team, Stover is busy settling into her role and taking her duties in stride. Since late Winter, Wasp has been without a Fun Boss, and now that the ship has one again, Sailors can expect a schedule packed with events and trips. There were no windows and a thousand people she didn’t know, yet she was comfortable taking a seat in her office and getting to work. Despite having been a military brat her entire life, she was outside her comfort zone as she made her way through the maze of passageways and ladderwells onboard. Jasmin Stover, better known as Fun Boss, stepped onto the unfamiliar deck looking around and taking in her new workplace: the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1).
