Deployment Tails from my Sailor

Jordan and I have been able to email regularly.  He is enjoying the ship and learning his way around.  He started on day shift but recently was moved to night shift.  He actually enjoys that shift and the guys on the shift better.  I sent him a package and he received it in less than two weeks.  He was so excited.  We learned that Hot Tamales (candy) melt in extreme heat.  Thankfully the red ooze from the Hot Tamales did not get on his devotional. He recently passed a test that allows him to walk on the deck without a tag-a-long.  He is really excited about that. Jordan called last Thursday around 5:30am.  It was good to hear his voice.  He continues to enjoy his role in the Navy and knows God's hand is directing him. 
I am enjoying following his ship, USS George H W Bush (CVN 77), on the Facebook page.  I am hoping one day a picture of Jordan on the deck will show up.  Until then, I like seeing the other sailors and read the comments from other families.
