Where's the strangest place you've ever practiced football? In the gym? Maybe in a parking lot? How about on the deck of the USS Ronald Reagan? That's where the San Diego Chargers had their walkthrough yesterday. You can read about if from the Chargers' perspective and the sailors' perspective. This is a great thing, especially in wartime. Besides the obvious coolness of having practice on the deck of an aircraft carrier it also means a lot to the crew. The Chargers also presented the crew with a #76 jersey (the Ronald Reagan is CVN 76) signed by all the players. Said Serviceman 3rd Class Jacob Allison: "It was a lot of fun to watch the Chargers practice on the flight deck. It really helped raise the morale of the crew."
