Hi, Welcome to a page dedicated to our son, FC2 Chris Payne. He is currently stationed on the USS Hue City, CG-66.

Familes are Forever

AND we are the PROUD parents of "FC2 Chris Payne ", USN.

Like any serviceman away from home, I like to hear from people.

And, then, there is my Mom. She would like comments or suggestions on developing this page. EMail my parents at: E-Mail

Although my primary job responsibilities are on board CG-66, a cruiser, the USS Hue City, we don't live at sea. We are in port updating systems and resting for the next rotation with the fleet. I have a bunk assigned on board, however in port;
All Hands on Deck

I live at a Christian Residential Ministry known as "Missions to Military". My address is:

FC2 Chris Payne; Military Christian Center
2456 Panuco Ave W
Atlantic Beach, FL 32233

My parents really like the idea that I have adoptive parents. They are Ron and Flo Robertson.
Ron and Flo say, "We are grateful for each of the servicemen God has brought to the Military Christian Center, and for the opportunity to share the Gospel as well as teach the Word of God to such willing hearts."

Of course, as parents we look for opportunity to brag about our son, Chris. The Mayport Report is a newsletter published by Ron and Flo Robertson. A recent issue contains a photo of our son, Chris, along with his shipmate, Jason and a couple of other guys, patching the roof above the servicemen's rest room.

"YES, WE ARE DIFFERENT" says the banner on the first page of the booklet describing Missions to Military (MTM). Quote = MTM is a hospital where spiritual babies are born and wounded soldiers are nursed. It is a spiritual arsenal where armour is fitted and where swords are sharpened. It is a Christ centered retreat where servicemen and servicewomen are refreshed and instructed in the King's plan of the day as found in the infallible Word of God. Yes, we are different!
...The food, bunks and counseling are ALL free of charge with no strings attached, except that we want the military man or woman to know we are servants of Jesus Christ and the paramount purpose of our ministry is to exalt Him in everything! Yes, we are different!
The basic schedule of our Servicemen's Christian Centers is to be open daily. We are closed for church services and all who enjoy the facilities of each center are required to attend a local church and preferably with us. We are a vital part of the local church where we are located. Yes, we are different! ...In several aspects our Servicemen's Christian Centers ARE different. Certainly, we expect people to relax, have good fellowship, and enjoy excellent meals; but beyond this, we also encourage and expect a life brought under discipline and accountability - to the end that God is glorified!. {end quote}
This is a blessing to us, as Christian parents.
Well, I'll continue developing this page as time goes on. I want to add some links to Navy pages.

Found a new link for the page.
I've often wondered what the symbols in the Navy enlisted grade insignia means. I knew it had something to do with the duties assignment, however that is as far as my knowledge went. Now that Chris is in the Navy, I decided to research furthur. Here are the results of my research.
The Navy has a page devoted to a brief description of the symbols.
