Going on an 8-month deployment 4 months ahead of schedule - sucks being those guys. Prayers up all the way around.

Yes, sir, I agree.

Not that it is foremost on my mind..but I also wonder if their votes will be counted.

This Air Force flyboy had the distinct privilege of landing on the Stennis, trap, and being shot off the deck the following morning after observing a night recovery.

The coolest thing I ever did while serving in the Air Force was with the Navy!

Looks like they just came back from deployment in Feb.

God speed USS Stennis.

Been there, done that, never any fun.

But at least mine was done in the Med where there were some decent liberty ports. I cannot imagine where ships sent to the Persian Gulf dock to let the crew blow off steam.

No worse than the crews of the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, going on 4 month deployment and getting stuck there for 8 months, every frickin time.

(Yes, I am exaggerating a bit, but not much)

Come on Colonel, that is what they get paid for. If they want to stay home let them get a job at McDonald.
