Ok folks… time for a catch up. Things out here have gotten pretty damn busy and I have been running up and down this ship like a mad man. Over the past 3 months I have been busier than a one legged man at an ass kicking contest.
Now … things are settling. We are in [...]
(Another post that was drafted and posted when I had time to access the internets)
2009!
One year closer to retirement and one more month closer to me being home.
So, what is there to do on America’s premiere nuclear powered aircraft carrier at sea when the calendar changes over to the new year? Truthfully? Not a whole [...]
(This post is a bit of a catch-up, I wrote this while on the ship whilst we had no internets… and could not post it. So, here it is for your reading pleasure.)
Well my fellow humans. It is Christmas and I am on dry land… Albeit sandy, dirty, Dubai type land but land none the [...]
Well here we are in Jebel-Ali in the United Arab Emirates. Liberty call went down a lot smoother mainly because we pulled in pier-side so there is no waiting for a liberty boat to take us to land.
Here we have a little security zone that we affectionately call “The Sandbox”. It is a place that [...]
Ok.. So it has been a bit since I have updated the site, please bare with me as it has gotten quite busy for us here and the scarce availability of the internet has slowed down my posting ability.
South Africa was far from what I would call a success, but I was able to get [...]
Greetings from chilly Cape Town South Africa!
That is the view that I have of our wonderful “Liberty Port” I believe that it is called Table Rock. We haven’t been off the ship yet and we have been here for two days so far. The sea’s are a bit too rough for us to [...]
Ok.. Time for a little rant because after-all a bi#@hing Sailor is a happy Sailor.
I have been doing this little job here called the Navy for over 17 years and have managed to survive upon this spinning rock hurtling through space for 35 years but the way this man’s Navy treats it’s Sailors like children [...]
Once again I come bearing my thoughts onto the interwebs…
Crossing the Equator is an age old tradition in Sailor lore. The ceremony is officially titled the “Crossing the line ceremony.” Sailors commonly call it “WOG Day” which is derived from the word Pollywog. The gist of it all is that a Sailor is not [...]
Hello folks.. Your intrepid Sailor here reporting to you from somewhere off the coast of northern Africa. Internet access has been kind of sketchy lately so I haven’t been able to post, but not a lot has happened so you really didn’t miss much.
Leaving on an extended deployment tends to make the mind wander. “How [...]
“Loaded up and truckin’
We gonna do what they say can’t be done.
We got a long way to go and a short time to get there,
I’m east bound just watch that Bandit CARRIER run…”
Seems that I have been a bit musical lately with my post titles but they do say that music is the soundtrack of [...]
