To say that I wish I were still "Haze Gray and Underway" is putting it mildly. I miss being overseas. I miss having a job where I made a difference. I miss the Navy. What I don't miss, though, is sleeping in a berthing quarters with 100 other guys. Ack, now that brings a shudder to the spine....

My husband is an STS3(SS) serving aboard the USS Hyman G Rickover (SSN 709), they are currently on 6 month deployment. He just got his dolphins last month (not bad for being in the service since March of last year huh?) and I'm so very proud of him.

What a motivation! Let these sailors SEE the horror spawned on Sept. 11. Let them carry the images of that carnage into the precincts where danger does its business. And let those frozen pictures sustain their courage through the awful commerce yet to come. Pray the memories make sacrifice a willing currency.

One of first thoughts that went through my mind the morning of 9/11 was, "I wish I was still in the Navy."
I got out an HT2 in 94, now I'm back in the reserves as a SeaBee SW3 :)
Bump from the USS Proteus (AS-19) and USS Cape Cod (AD-43), may they rest in pieces.
