Well guess what I have dates! I’m not sure if I can say them over e-mail yet, but I figured since the Captain of the ship told us and they have to let us know 30 days prior and it’s pretty close to that it is ok. If not I guess they will censor this e-mail. We will be arriving and disembarking at duty station on ***** and arriving at San Diego on ***** …. here is the dilemma though, I don’t know if I am going to be getting off with my company at duty station or staying on the ship with combat cargo to disembark the rest of the ship and going to San Diego, so as soon as I know you will know, but those are the two dates that we have been given.
Yes I am done with brown belt, I passed! I only missed 3 moves; I was able to miss a total of 6. Our instructor might be running a black belt 1st degree course and if so and I can get a waiver from my company I will be doing that, the black belt looks the best in our uniform hehe :p You need a waiver to do it because it is suppose to be done as a Sgt. So I will see what happens, I figure I put my body threw the ware and tear of brown what is a little more for black. After black belt 1st degree there is 2nd , 3rd, 4th, 5th, and lastly 6th degree which means you are just a straight badass lol.(Love my badass son!)
Candy sent me an e-mail saying thank you, I told her it was no problem at all and she told me she was going to be there for my homecoming. That would be awesome the more people the better. As far as the Supply Core goes, that’s a Navy thing not sure what it deals with other than supplies lol, food, parts, etc. Marcie had told me she was going to be doing the 5 mile mountain climb, I can’t view the pictures though, the website is blocked on our network. So anyways I’m going to let you go.
Love You,
Jack
See what I mean! Oh, another letter from Captain Funk. Sir, just bring my kid home already. Oh, and thanks for taking care of him and the rest of the Sailors and Marines!
Greetings family & friends as we conclude another month of deployment. The end of February brings us one month closer to our reunion with you.
This evening in the hangar bay we held a wonderful celebration for Black History Month. Talent, enthusiasm, fun and pride were evident in every speaker, singer, actor, and dancer. It was a great celebration of not only the traditions, history, achievements and culture of African Americans, but also the contributions of African American Sailors and Marines to the success, excellence and culture onboard BHR.
The music and dancing were the highlights of the night. From the National Anthem at the beginning of the event to the incredible performance of BHR’s own step dancing teams, this was a celebration to rival the best of the Apollo, Kennedy Center or Hollywood Bowl. The main reason – it was from the heart and soul of the patriotic Sailors and Marines of USS BONHOMME RICHARD!
Regards – Captain John Funk
