USS Eisenhower- Happenings...

Mike spent the last 4 days in Bahrain on official business with the Admiral!
They are back aboard the ship now, but he shared two photos from a reception hosted on a Japanese ship while they were there. He said the great food and drink was endless, including delicious sushi of course!
(I particularly liked the cute food trays with a spot for your drink! So cool)

 


The Eisenhower staff maintains a great Facebook page where they regularly post photos of events and exercises of the fleet. I just wanted to share some recent ones so you can see the cool things they do and see on a regular basis! Aside from conducting missions, they celebrate individuals accomplishments, awards, and holidays!
 Chief Petty Officer- Ceremony in the hangar bay
 Great shot of the carrier with the sunset
 An E2-Hawkeye launching off the deck
 Helicopter performing an ordinance disposal exercise
 The flight deck! Busy place!!!
 Firefighting drills
 Rescue/Assist mission for a stranded vessel abroad, bringing them water and supplies
 Mail call!!!! Distributing the packages when a shipment arrives onboard
 They also celebrate the holidays and events that affect us at home.......a 9-11 cake with ceremonies and tributes as well!

Just a small taste of what goes on aboard the vessels while they are deployed! Life as usual for them!
