The detailer was the one to offer putting him on the ship with me. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm just very thankful that I've had this opportunity to serve along my son. I realize it's a once in a lifetime chance that most people will never experience.

One great advantage (of deploying together) was being able to help mentor him and see his accomplishments, such as getting his warfare pin and putting on third class. Another advantage was having family with me during Christmas and New Year while deployed. I think the experience was great for both of us.

It's great being stationed together. It makes it nice when I'm underway and away from home, yet I still have family with me.

Do they offer safety advantages? How much better are they than current options? Needless to say, we are looking forward to see the data. There is a lot of enthusiasm for the drug class.

They're narrowing down and putting more tonnage into strategic locations. They don't have to ship it 200 miles to store it. We're just on the property.
