Rumors of my demise...
...have been somewhat exaggerated.
I'm not dead. Although, for a minute there, my own mental health was brought into question; something I'll elaborate on with my next post once I'm able to gather myself and chronicle the events of the last 5 months or so. My bonds on the USS Gary have been broken, 60 days overdue albeit, but broken nonetheless. The entire process of my transfer was botched and delayed at just about every juncture and the whole experience just validated my current perception of the United States Navy as an organization. (And I use the word organization here very loosely.)
Now, after 6+ years of sea service I can finally taste the spoils of some shore duty. I won't be in Hawaii w/ Mo and company as planned but my personal history has shown the very act of planning anything is a fool's errand. I'm not typing this entry from my base of operations so I'll cut this short. Enjoy some photos of my recent travels in the mean time or drop me a line and maybe I'll fill you in what's transpired since my last post, if you have the clearance "/wink".
