God Bless the Broken Road

September 12, 2012

Rascal Flatts has it right.
God Bless the Broken Road.
I recommissioned as a reserve chaplain and have spent the last month getting ready for my first deployment.
I am off to the USS George Washington.
It's a carrier (CVN) that houses 5,500 people and is the length of 3 football fields.
I don't know what to expect so I watched the PBS 10 part series, "Carriers."

My travel will take me from Richmond to Tokyo to Guam.
Travel time: 22 hours and crossing the International Date Line.

From there, I will take a COD (carrier onboard delivery) and land on the carrier.

This was not on my bucket list but it is now.
