More e-mails from my Daughter Cindy on the Abe Lincoln

Cindys Gun CIWS





Dubai


I received more e-mails from my daughter Cindy yesterday and this morning from the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) . She sent several very small pictures. She was in Dubai a few weeks ago. Cindy said "We pulled in to Jebel Ali. That was like 2 weeks ago. We should be pulling into another port soon. Yes I got off the ship in Jebal. It was hot and humid like 130 F out there. And very humid." When I asked her about the Ship she said "Life is life. Food is okay. I get tons of sleep. I don't even hear the jets." It's great that she can e-mail us. We are so Proud of her.

Thats one of the thing I really enjoyed about the Navy...getting to really see the world and many exotic places. Woulda liked it even better if'n they had women-folk on Submarines... ;-)

Lookin forward to more pics Cindy. Enjoy your time in the Navy and the friends you'll make. I still, to this day, have friends I'm in contact with from way back in the 60's. These are experiences and events you'll never forget.

If'n I was you, I wouldn't talk about the being bored part too loud. Some Commanders have a nasty way of changing that scenario right real quick.... :-(
