    Great to be back in the States

    Well, I'm finally back in the States and boy is it nice to be back. Of course, it would be better if I were home with my family (who are still up in Boston).

    In the mean time, no rest for the wicked. I'm off tomorrow for a three day trip up to Great Lakes (my command is sponsoring a recruit division) and then mid April I'm down to Ft Lauderdale for three weeks as my Sailors will be providing security for Fleet Week. Hopefully after that I'll get some time off to head up to Boston and see the family.

    I'd like to thank everyone for their well wishes while I was deployed and ask that all keep our service members still over there in your hearts and prayers (especially since I'll be right back over there in nine months!!!).

    Be well,

    Doc

    Don - Welcome Back! Not sure exactly where in the Great lakes you will be - but should you make it to the south shore of Lake Superior - my door is always open!

    Welcome home Don. Hope you get all the time with your family you want. But more important you get to go in the shop and make them all presants.

    It's good to have you back Doc. It's even better to have you back safe and sound.

    Ft. Lauderdale in April, truly no rest for the wicked!
