    This is the ship I’m on. Im 10 months into the navy. Although we call it an employment rather than a deployment. But definitely excited to see the world for the first time. Hope nothing breaks down lol.

    46 yrs ago as a young E-3 I was onboard the NEW USS NIMITZ for her first deployment to the Med. I know what these young sailors are feeling and what they are going through. It'll be an exciting time for them, such a new adventure! Wait until they are in blue waters and see the ocean 360 degrees around!

    I servered 20, 27 years ago, and the hardest thing in the Navy was saying "Good Bye" Good Bye to family friends,classmates to join,good bye to those you marched beside and graduated in boot camp, then every deploymemt more good byes, next you know 20 years of traveling and duty stations in this small world comes to a close at the last good bye when you walk down that pier
    and the memories of serving in the GREATEST NAVY IN THE WORLD! Thats the hardest GOOD BYE of them all! SALUTE!! GOD BLESS THE USA!!
