van pool

Submissions to the contest are initially judged by deck-log program manager Alexis Van Pool, who selects 10 to forward to a committee of current and former sailors that chooses three finalists.

Starting in November 2014, Lundy was commuting by van pool from his home in Kingston to Bothell, back to Kingston, then on to Bremerton to work in the shop on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

"We would have to pay a million dollars to get a million dollars of coverage," explained Ronnie Lee Van Pool, USA Swimming board president from 2002 to 2006, in a 2010 deposition in a "Jane Doe" abuse lawsuit against swimming.

Several enrolled soldiers said they had never ridden in the van pool, and investigators found that many were not even at Fort Hood.

The Sentinel, an official publication overseen by Army commanders, touted the van pool’s growth in stories and quoted staff who said it saved them time and money.
