We are here in Bahrain for Christmas. I won't be able to post anything for a while as the ship has cut all internet traffic down to official sites only. This has to do with the loss of three submarine communication cables off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt and the loss of another cable off of Sicily.
For those of you reading this I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.

It's early December and the weather is starting to cool off. At the beginning of the deployment I told people we would see thunderstorms, rain showers, cooler temperatures with temps going as low as the 30's on occasion and seas of up to 12 feet. Apparently no one believed me because when these things have happened all I have heard is "I have never seen the weather in the Gulf like this." What most forget to realize is they have never been in the Gulf in the winter time. I haven't been here either but I have forecasted for the Gulf in the winter before and it can get pretty squirrelly.
Today we are floating out and about and can see the mountains in Iran some 60 miles away.
It's been a while since our last port visit to Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates. This was my thir ...

Today history was made when Barack Obama was elected President. Unless I am mistaken, to date, no sitting Senator has been elected President and Mr. Obama is the 1st black President. All told Mr. Obama is the 6th President I will have served under in the military; my 6th Commander-in-Chief. Three of the Presidents I have served under were in office for 8 years each.
Jimmy Carter (4 years), Ronald Reagan (8 years), George H. W. Bush (4 years), Bill Clinton (8 years), George W. Bush (8 years), Barak Obama.

Thirty two years ago today the country elected Jimmy Carter as President. I was picked up by my Recruiter in Concord, NH and along with a couple of other people was taken to the Armed Forces Examination and Entrance Station (AFEES) in Manchester, NH. There I was tested, prodded and poked until the powers that be determined I was fit to enlist. At the time I had a sprained left ankle and had to hide the pain. The Doc seemed to think something was wrong with my ankle and took time to examine it then had all of us jump up and down on one leg, first on the right then on the left. I managed to convince him I was fine and nothing was wrong. Son of a bitch did that hurt.
Here I am on deployment 32 years later somewhere in the Persian Gulf; who'd a thought?
