Hey all! Been a pretty exciting week...
On Monday I got underway for Stellar Avenger on one of our Hawaii based surface combatants. I'd love to tell you all about the mission, but until it's all been blessed by the security folks the best I can do is to vector you to one of the websites:
http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=47327
Yep, we kill stuff in space...all of the time.
Anyhow, I've been stuck out in Hawaii since the second week of May and FINALLY get to go home this week. Between all of the stuff going on with North Korea and the mission work-ups I've been hard-pressed to keep up with the "goings-on" in the NFL. Fortunately I have THE BEST RESOURCE IN THE WORLD for all things Cardinal in ASFN. So I need to thank you all so very much for keeping this wayward sailor up-to-date.
Only sailors can really appreciate this, but onboard our ships (especially during a mission) there is a condition where all external communications are secured to and from the ship (except for official channels). Well, to make a long story short, the first I'd heard about our top draft picks signing and the wonderful reports form training camp was about 30 minutes ago right here on ASFN. After talking to my wife and kids, taking a Hollywood shower, and cracking a beer, the first thing I did was to log in here and get all caught up.
My brother and I used to make the annual pilgrimage to Flagstaff, and had every intent of doing it this year until I got called away....So it means a lot when you guys put together the daily summaries and the observations that would otherwise never come to folks who couldn't make it to TC. You guys rock! Keep 'em coming....
"If it flies.... it dies...."
