Dry Docked And Enjoying My Days Here

It has been several months since my ship, the USS John C. Stennis, went into dry dock and start the overhaul on her. During this time I have begun to look at going to school while here in Washington. I have also made some cool friends and have hanged out a lot together. They share the same love as I do which is anime & manga. Since we have became friends we have begun planning to go to two anime conventions here soon. The first one we are planning to go to is Aki Con in Seattle in late October (and I've been appointed the planner for these events. Thanks mom for the teachings of planning for things in advance. I owe you one.) While I've been here, I have been able to join the Naval Base Kitsap Navy Ball committee and I have been enjoying every bit of it. So I've been keeping myself out of trouble for the most part. I'm just glad that I get to stay put for longer than six months at a time. I hope I get to enjoy the time that I have here before the Stennis goes back out to sea again. Well, I should be going to bed now. Sleep well and may God bless you all.

Home On Leave/Remembering Those Who Have & Serving

I have been home in Colorado since the 17th of this month and have enjoyed every minute of it. I wish i could here with my family a little longer, but duty calls. I would like to recognize those that have severed this great nation and also to those that are serving along side me. But more importantly, those who have given the ultimate sacrifice, those who have given their lives in the line of duty. May you always be remembered.

Almost Home

Hello my followers. I know I haven't posted in the past 8+ months due to me being deployed since august. Well I can finallt say that we are one more step away from begining at our home prot in Washington. I have been to Malaysia, Thailand, Bahrain, Dubai, Singapore, Hawaii, and now back in San Diego enjoying some time off. I have so many stories to write about that I want you all to hear. Being in different countries has made me relieze more than before of the fact that I am lucky to be an American and I am damn proud to serve in my country's navy. Being able to do things that most people cant is pretty awesome. I'm just glad that it's almost over and I'll be able to see my little brother, sister, mom, and dad here in the next couple of days along with the rest of my family and friends. To all those you have supported me and my ship, thank you. Your support is what drives us everyday to make through a deployment and copme back to see you all in the end.
