Anchors Away

This is the air craft carrier Ronald Reagan that Lee went onto this week. If you enlarge the pic you can see the planes on the deck. They rarely leave the planes on the deck after the Pearl Harbor attacks. The ship has to be going at a certain speed to launch the planes successfully. The RR was only staying in dock for a week and the Marine base was there in case of any problems. Lee was amased at the whole experience. You could tour the ship a whole week and still not see it all. He said old fat men were not good recruits because his legs were sore the next day from all the steps.

We still don't know if Lee will finish early on his classes, but it is a real possibility. If it happens it will problably be a week or less off.

They are closing Macy's (not the state's Macy's)and putting in AFFES which is the Army's exchange on Kwaj. I have not seen Macy's but it should be a big improvement. If nothing else we can order from a catalog and not pay taxes or postage.

Ya'll have a great week end.
