Ah deployment time. I went through many of those but went to the North Atlantic and the Med. I always had a great time that is when I finally got off the ship. Not to mention I was not on a fully optioned out carrier complete with fast food too. I did not have a family to worry about either. Stay safe and have some fun out there!

Be safe, try to enjoy yourself (if that is possible) and thanks for serving. I appreciate it.

That's right! All the pranks that you get to pull on the newbies. They are priceless but today's Navy maybe different. Wait, there ain't no MAYBE about it. We did not have females onboard except when we were in homeport. Looks like the love boat is setting sail complete with a pool! Carnival eat your heart out.
