Hey Lehigh, I have a daughter out on the Kearsarge right now, too. She is a CTR1. We have a Kearsarge group on here too that is very informative and that is the group I usually check on. This is a very long deployment and it didn't help any that they left early and some of the group did not get last minute visits with family members that live apart from them. We will have to make up for it when they return. Getting shorter every day!

The ship has no communications at the moment so you will not hear from your sailor via any way so check on fb where they will post when its back or you get a call from your sailor i think it is probably related to the problem they had the night before deploying where they were talking about not leaving if they could not get it fixed, but I guess they did! Anyway youtube video showing comstock leaving the harbor just google ships name and then where is says 2011 after name you will find the video you can see my daughter on the bridge level 4 in from the right about 1.02 and 1.30 minutes into the video. Touring the ship 2 different times was awesome! I had so much fun!

There was no discussion or mention about deployment. Yes Fionna..I have no doubt the sweetness comes from you! He'll be coming home next weekend and we've got to go down and bring back all the xtra clothes and things he has accumulated. When you are with them you realize how much you miss them. Hearing them laugh and kid with each other does your heart good.
