Hey there hot stuff!
Things are going pretty quickly here. I can’t believe it’s almost been a month since I’ve been gone! My job has been undergoing an interesting morphing process. I am now a _______, and got to use that by helping with moving weapons around (bombs, missiles, rockets, and bullets and whatnot). We went by the _______ the other day, and I saw quite a few fishermen doing their work old school in tiny(15 ft.) outrigger canoes. Pretty cool huh?
We have been working 7 days a week since we’ve pulled out which Is some of the main reason it’s been going by so fast. I get some good off time as well. They don’t want us to get burned out and all. Which brings me to the steel beach picnic we had the other day. After the work day ended, the ship’s stewards had set up a barbecue picnic up on the flight deck(its on the fantail) and we had ribeye steak, barbecue chicken, ribs, coleslaw, beans, and the whole shebang. The only thing missing was cold beers and cornhole! When the sun had set they had games like mini-golf, a wannabe cornhole set, and even a dunk tank. there are a lot of people who have purchased remote control helicopters in ______, and they had made up a vert-rep game. Someone made a wooden aircraft carrier and a wooden ________. They took turns taking off from the _____, landing on the carrier, and then returning to the original ship. The guy who won it had a different toy helicopter that he had from the states. It was pretty high tech and handled remarkably better than the cheap Chinese rip offs everyone else had!
There are not many things to do here on the ship, but I’ve found that my favorite thing to do is sit on the 04 level at night. There’s a great view of the flight deck on the back, and the moon is usually in view and lights everything in sight up. There are chairs set up there, and I like to sit and watch the ocean and think of you and Piper. I can’t wait till we are all back together and can take a nice vacation somewhere(maybe New Mexico ?).
Much Love,
Bredin
