Right now, I could go on and on about the crapass part of the Navy, but instead I'm choosing to focus on a fun part of the Navy. I COULD say things like, "THEY SERIOUSLY LEFT WITH ALMOST NO WARNING AND WITHOUT TELLING US WHEN THEY'D BE BACK? AGAIN!?!?!?!?!" But I won't. I could say, "I can't wait to get back to the states so we can have a more solid, structured schedule." But that would just be silly of me.
So, as I said, I'll focus on the latest fun thing our ship has done, the Friends and Family Day Cruise.
1. I just want to bring attention to the fact that a water fountain is called a "Scuttlebutt" on Naval ships.
2. I can't BELIEVE grown ass Sailors need to be told to NOT put noodles down the drain.
Kendall and I. We have so few pictures together while he's in any sort of uniform. And I'm just going to say it...coveralls are hot.
The Roostertail. We were cruising right along at 32knots, with rough seas. It was quite a thing to see.
Here we had a weapons demo. This reminded me of the Wives Cruise I took with Kendall on his old ship. I remember being amazed by the sheer sound and amount of rounds that were used. This time around...still amazed.
And like last time, we made me a bracelet of the shell casings. :) One from the CAPE, and now one from the LASSEN.
Speaking of rough seas....
USS George Washingston (CVN 73), our Aircraft Carrier.
We were able to get a demo of GW's jets. I have NEVER in my life heard ANYTHING so loud. Absolutely amazing!!
Flyover from GW's helo.
LASSEN'S Battle Ensign. Such a large flag.
And a purely accidental shot of my husband. As I stated earlier...Coveralls are hot.
It was actually a very fun day, even though we had to work and the fact that I got sick once. It was pretty amazing to get to do all that with Kendall. To him, it's just a job and I guess I can understand that, but to me it's something I don't get to see everyday.
