North Island

Naval Air Station North Island

Coronado

Yesterday, I stopped by the base to see if anything has changed. I don't ever go there when my sailor is deployed. I did notice that the bases were now doing 100% ID checks at the gates. And there is a lot of road construction going on around the area as you leave the base. It was a big of an obstacle course.

I quickly headed to where the Nimitz is usually docked. Here is the picture of the building (I'm guessing their supply building?) next to where they are usually docked. I am reminded of all the times I would drop off my sailor for his short underway trips.

This is where the Nimitz is suppose to be. When I drove up to this parking lot and saw the carrier, I was reminded of my sailor's ship.


I believe this is the USS Ronald Reagan. Looks like there is a lot of work being done on it.

I drove around the base and took pictures. I was lucky I didn't get pulled over for taking pictures. I remember taking pictures outside of the Great Lakes base and security asked us to stop. It was a bit cloudy and cold yesterday. After my drive around the base, I headed for the beach on Coronado and toured their downtown area. I love Coronado, it's so beautiful and romantic.

Working Hard

He's been telling me about a part that they have been working on for 2 weeks now.

I wonder if this is the part that's giving them problems.

He's been working so hard for 6 straight days. Hardly getting any rest.

I wonder if this is what they do for laughs in the shop.

Remembering...

...the first time we went to the beach together. San Diego is beautiful. I miss him. He'll be home soon.

History Paper

He's been taking a History class on the ship. I'm not sure what the format is, whether it's a class setting or online. He recently turned in his first written paper. I don't have a copy of his final paper to post but I read the rough draft and it was great.

Notice he got a 91!!!! I'm so proud of him! Great Job Honey!!

Morale Booster

Navy Challenge Coins

Sean sent me this picture recently. These are the coins he has received on this current deployment. I think they are amazing. Sean works hard and does his job very well. These coins prove that he's appreciated on the ship.

A Special Day (For Us)

I got these pictures from him and quickly posted them. Yesterday was our special day.

I love it when he smiles and laughs.

This deployment is going by quick, but still seems like he's been gone forever.

I think that's his work locker. What a great husband, he has my picture taped up in his locker.
