Jodie serves on the USS John C Stennis. It is an aircraft carrier based in Washington. She "drives" the Stennis, brings in the anchor chain, helps with the moorings, pulls watch. Jodie's team helps transport supplies from a moving supply boat to the moving Stennis using cables, hooks, and rope.
The Stennis is in the Persan gulf, and she is "taking care of business" (Jodie's words) for her country. Ray and I are extremely proud of her.
In one card Jodie sent me , she said the days are slow and repetitive. She and the other sailors are bored and have read everything on the ship. Jodie asked for books, mags, cds, etc; she said the sailors share all their reading materials with each other. I sent out a request for reading materials to my colleagues at work, and I was overwhelmed and touched by the response. Materials have poured in, and I will have many packages to send to my daughter and the other sailors!!
