Yes, we spoke to Kira this morning and she said that they have planes over Aghanistan now. I also pray every day that they all do their best and that they are all able to return home safe and sound. When I spoke to her I said it didn't take long to get onstation after leaving Cape Town and she sadi that there was an accident on deck the other day where a sailor got caught in jet exhaust. So, they had to high tail it so he could get airlifted off for treatment. I just hope that he is ok. It is so dangerous what they do. Fred

Guess this is it Fred- Eric sent a mail that they've taken over watch duty from the Reagan and that he's seen live ord on the flight deck....as he so well put it "We're dropping real bombs now. I saw them all yesterday lined up getting ready to head up to the roof to go to the farm". God Bless our sailors and keep them safe......Paul

Kira, got her shot the other day too. She was trying to avoid them but, I guess they caught up to her. What is you son's rate? Fred

Ahoy Fred!! First deployments for both our sailors! Eric noted he's dealing the anthrax vaccines right now....always something to worry about!! Wish your sailor my best wishes-- it's a tough duty to sacrifice so much familiy time. Whne you send your daughter a message, please thank her and your son-in-law for their service to our Country! Paul

My daughter is a MM-Nuke on the TR and this is her first deployment. Her husband is also in the Navy and a MM-Nuke-ELT on the sub USS Scranton and will be deploying sometime in Feb. So, they will not see each other until he returns next August.

A couple of media shots of the Big Stick pulling into Cape Town, South Africa. It's the first carrier since '67 to visit South Africa!!
