October 27, 2011. Somewhere in the Sea. My brother Sherm, living aboard the USS George Washington based in Japan, is coming home for Thanksgiving! (You're welcome for finding you a flight man!) I guess that means that I am going home too. It's been over 2 years since I've hugged my bro...it's time. The USS Georg Washington Facebook page posted this just a day or two ago about Sherman King from Wendell, Idaho:
SOUTH CHINA SEA (Oct. 24, 2011) – Aviation Machinist’s Mate Airman Sherman King from Wendell, Idaho, tightens a jet engine’s afterburner to the exact torque specifications in the jet shop aboard the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73). Sailors working in George Washington's jet shop maintain and repair damaged jet engines. George Washington pulled out of her forward-operating port of Yokosuka, Japan Sept. 19 to continue her 2011 patrol. As the Navy’s only full-time forward deployed carrier, George Washington’s mission is to help ensure security and stability in the Western Pacific Ocean. |
