    8 months out on the water? Yikes. I might have started to think about swimming!

    Default Memories Jim...for many I'm sure.

    Kathianne....

    I appreciate you posting this. Been there, done that..but not as long.

    How bout this? During 1990-91 in the Persian Gulf during Operations Desert Shield/Storm. We did a little thing like that too!

    Left Norfolk, Aug 19, 1990...one port call in Dubai...came home March 13, 91.

    Except for 3 days in Dubai....You count the days. Thousands of sailors and marines know the feeling from way back then, on all kinds of ships the PUBLIC knows nothing about if it's not an AIRCRAFT CARRIER or SUBMARINE.

    Ever heard the expression: "HAZE GREY AND UNDERWAY?" That's where it came from.

    I got the been to that one hat. 368 days straight sea time. Except when they let us off in Saudi Arabia for a month

    I can't imagine how every single person on that ship isn't batshit by now. I would be

    @Kathianne I gotta know, did I turn you on to The War Zone when I mentioned it a while back? They really do an outstanding job.

    Is it a book? A group? I missed the mention of such.
