12,000 miles per day? Huh? Looks like they are off by a factor of about 100. And that "Helicopter pilot Petty Officer Second Class..." is a little suspect also.

Helicopter pilot Second Class Petty Officer Kortney Backer, 22, said she was glad for the opportunity...Things sure have changed since this oldsalt retired about twenty years ago {sarcasm off}.
You would think that a reporter assigned to write about things military would actually know something about the military. Too much to ask,huh?

To say the least. I sort of wondered if they'd combined CVW-11 with the Strike Group as well. Oh well, unimportant really. But annoying to us that know.
Expat - I won't begrudge my shipmates their liberty, so please feed them well. But at some point, please point out that a sailor from the CARL VINSON was wondering if they could please hurry up and eat? We extended so they could eat hot dogs on the 4th of July.
