Spent the night aboard an AOR cross-decking from my CV to a CG to teach a new AAW tactic my air wing was using. Nice staterooms, connecting heads, great chow, best movies. If ya’ gotta be at sea, not a bad way to go.

Unreps...:)

I don’t miss the USN per se, but I do miss seeing the ocean and the ships.
