Hi everyone! Haven't talked to you all in a while, how are all of you? Well, some of us do see each other on fb, though! Thanks Marianne for posting that pic of my HT3 Jesse! Jeff and I have really been enjoying all the great pics that the BHR and Marines post, and appreciate the updates. They sure have had some rough seas lately, Jess said the "newbies" had a couple of days of sea sickness, but it passed pretty quickly. Sounds like they have all been pretty busy too!

Per facebook page...whew
Bonhomme Richard Family and Friends,
Greetings from the Revolutionary Gator. For those who have been keeping track of our whereabouts, you may have some concerns over all the typhoon activity in the Western Pacific. You'll be happy to know the ship and her crew are safe. We departed White Beach, Okinawa, Japan to avoid being caught in any of the typhoons developing in the area. Bonhomme Richard is
currently underway and beginning to train with the Marines assigned to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. Stay tuned to us on Facebook and look for us on Navy.mil for more information.
