USS Bonhomme Richard and the USS Howard visits





While it was snowing in my hometown of Salt Lake City, I had the great pleasure to visit sunny San Diego where we (Elayne Harmer, our Sr. Marketing Executive for the West Coast) met the well-traveled Chief Kane on the USS Bonhomme Richard (with me at the dry dock as this gorgeous ship gets a lot of work done before heading out to Japan--notice Elayne and I doing our best to hold it up at the bow). I was so impressed with the massive amounts of documentation that Chief Kane and his team have already done on this preparation...can't wait to see the rest!
And then we got to board the USS Howard--a destroyer heading out on deployment this very week. LTJG Derr and Ensign Valanzola were great hosts and we wish them a very safe journey. By the way, we were told that 40% of the crew on board the USS Howard...are women. Very cool!
