EVERETT WA- The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) pulled out of port early this morning beginning its 4-6 month long deployment to the west pacific. The Lincoln has become a rare sight on the Everett waterfront. In the last 2 years the ship has been in its home birth less than 13 weeks. As the Lincoln pulls away it and its complement of support ships make new ground. The Battle Group is the first one to be surged under the new fleet response plan. The navy’s new training cycle that allows the President a more flexible naval force.

My son served four years in Germany during X42. Don't ask!!!! Short of everything, absolutely everything.

Most don't realize that the Pentagon is charged for ALL the presidential jaunts overseas. Klinton never once made an effort to coordinate with their needs, simply demanded transports, etc. with NO regard for the troops' missions.

Thus, my bro who is scheduled to quit the Navy in January, has had his time involuntarily extended.

There's a lot of that going around lately.

How much longer can they expect to push the fleet at this rate?

That is why I chose USAF over USN.

"Home thirteen weeks out of the last two years means away from home 87.5% of the time. How much longer can they expect to push the fleet at this rate?"

Hmm.. 30-35 years?

With stop-loss in place they might be able to accomplish it.

I wonder what the divorce rate is. Or what percentage of the female sailors get "knocked up" during the cruise.
