Nice, John.  Congratulations to her!  Long, long trip to her home port.

My daughter's on her way to her first deployment on the Mc Campbell. First one's always the tough one.

Ditto on the Tour comment. I was lucky enough to receive a personal tour from my sons Captain while in Japan. It was very interesting to see all the different parts of the ship. Took lots of pictures for my husband. I felt guilty being the one who got to take the tour instead of him. He would have understood so much more about the engines than I did since he builds them for a living.

There will be a time, Paige.  We had a weird thing, and you would, too, because Billy is a male.  I couldn't be with Kia, but her Mom could be.  I had a "sponsor" assigned, which was great because my sponsor's sister was "his" Tiger, but also had a female sponsor.  I got to kid her (and she was one who turned green for a couple days, because my sponsor set up my bunk for me, including tieing the sheet behind the mattress, and suggesting ways to organize my personal items in the under-mattress storage area.  He was the cryptology guy aboard, but I wasn't allowed to see where he worked.  LOL!  We kind of adopted his sister because he was on a weird schedule, too.  You become family onboard when you go for days on the cruise.

Yes, Chris I am truly sad that I will not be attending.  I had mentioned to Billy some time ago that I wanted to go on the Tiger Cruise, but was uncertain if I could get the time away from work because I had recently returned to work for this employer and had zero vacation time on the books.  Billy also felt that my being there would be difficult for him as well because he is kept so busy with his daily duties.  So, I did not persist the issue with him even though my employer indicated that we could work something out.  He will be coming home on leave within a day or two of the ship's return to San Diego.  He will only have a couple of days with me, so we will have to make the best of our time together.  I am happy to say though that we have plans in the development of my going to SD in November to spend a few days.  He says my visit there is planned around a surprise for me on the ship, but I have no idea what it's about.  I'm thinking maybe a enlistment ceremony, but I'm not really sure.  He hasn't been approved for reenlistment yet.  He feels pretty confident he will be able to re-up though.
