Gotta love it!

This is my husbands command and it honestly doesn't shock me at all.

But basically it comes down to he had "sexual relations" (lets be politically correct here lol) with a female officer onboard the USS Truxtun. He apparently got caught. And has thrown his career down the drain. Yes we all know he is innocent until proven guilty. But the funny part about this whole thing is there weren't rumors or anything until about the time it was to hit the news. My husband received a call and was told the news. It was on the news within just a few minutes.
I think it is a crying shame that people flush their careers for a few "good" minutes. Seriously? And lets take this a step further, another military wife left her opinion about this on my facebook last night. We have people fighting to get women on submarines? Yeah how many would blow their careers then? That said, you didn't have these issues when women weren't allowed on ships! Don't get me wrong I am all for equal rights, but there has to consequences all around. Any way that is a different topic for a different time.

USS Truxtun update

Just wanted to update that 3 of my USS Truxtun DDG 103 images were posted on NavSource Naval History. There website is http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.navsource.org/archives/05/050110318.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.navsource.org/archives/05/01103.htm&usg=__pKVZ4_XQDQ6bWJQdTf6Z1HL6BuY=&h=533&w=800&sz=137&hl=en&start=16&sig2=9-iYlwHM1u8HfLTOMfXJBw&um=1&tbnid=pcttLhn9q8h70M:&tbnh=95&tbnw=143&prev=/images%3Fq%3Duss%2Btruxtun%2Bddg%2B103%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1R2GGLL_en%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1&ei=cAYGSoj3M8XcmQeYt73qBA

2 of thechoosen 3 images are posted in the post below. They would be the last 2 images.

These 3 particular images were taken as the ship was leaving the Cruise Passenger Terminal Pier and heading for Naval Weapon Station Charleston. I just wish there had been a few clouds in the direction of the bridge that day.

Or you can just click on the title to this post and it will take you there. I think this is a great and I hope I am able to contribute more images to them in the future!
Thanks again Fred!

USS Truxtun Entering Charleston Bay and Commissioning

I was able to spend the last week in Charleston South Carolina for the Commissioning of the USS Truxtun DDG 103.

Here are several that I have had a chance to process. Some of these are from the ship coming into the Charleston Harbor and others are from the actual commissioning.

I will be posting images as I have time to process them. Check back soon for more.
