Every day, Kevin gets up at 5 a.m. and gets ready for work. He drives around 15 minutes to get to the base. He is usually gone from 6 a.m. to around 7 p.m. It's a long day! His job right now consists of taking lube oil samples and fuel samples for engineering spaces. Next week he has indoctrination. He will learn about the ship and what to expect when he is deployed. Soon, he will be starting out on short deployments to see how the ship runs. They expect to leave on their 9-month deployment in January. Kevin's ship is the USS Comstock. It is an LSD (dock-landing ship). It transports marines and their equipment which means Kevin will be going wherever the marines end up going. Here is a link to his ship's official website.

Christine,
Hey I didn't know you had a blog. Yeah! Now I can keep my eye on you even more. How do you like SD?
And the military life? I know it was a culture shock for me...not in a bad way either.
