I just got this word....My grandson ,poopeye, was sent temporary assigned duty, to USS John C Stennis (CVN 74). Looks like he will be making the upcoming deployment. There is a shortage of his rating aboard CVN-74. He's an Operations Specialist otherwise known as a "Radarman". We use to call them scope dopes. I have no idea when CVN-74 will be deploying. But it will be soon..very soon.

My wife has been trying to figure out when CVN-74 will deploy. She won't. I don't know and "poopeye" won't say. But it will be soon deployed.

USS John C Stennis (CVN 74) is homeported in Bremerton WA. She is a Nimitz class CVN. The ship was commissioned in 1988.

The ship's namesake was a long time, 41 years, senator from Mississippi. During his Senate career he chaired, at various times, the

Good luck to your grandson deployment.

Thank you my friend!

Well they did not deploy yet....however...from another forum;

March 24th 2018 is an anniversary of sorts for me. Today is the 46th anniversary of me arriving aboard the USS John F Kennedy (CVA-67) my first ship

In an incredible coincidence my grandson,poopeye, who is aboard USS John C Stennis(CVN 74) went to sea yesterday for the first time as CVN-74 sortied from Bremerton WA for training operations in preparation for upcoming deployment..


AAAARRRVVV!!!
