Me: “Probably my family.”

Love and laughter is my everything.

Beautiful day off of Sicily for a swim call and steel beach picnic to wrap up our underway.

Always an honor to administer the oath and reaffirm our commitment to the Constitution—especially with the added bonus of flying around the ship.

Great experience and honored to inspect the Swedish Royal Guard in Stockholm.

My deep love for the USS MOUNT WHITNEY is maintained with another glorious reception to mark the end of BALTOPS in Kiel.

Not only did they let me sit in their helo again, but I can now say I have danced the Cha Cha Slide on the flagship of the US Sixth Fleet.

I still love you sometimes, America.

Another day, another replenishment at sea.

USS Mount Whitney: The indispensable ship on the Navy’s decommission list

"We are a floating Pentagon": The USS Mount Whitney provides capabilities that no other Navy facility or platform can match. But the Navy plans to decommission the ship, raising alarm among advocates and analysts, who say it defies common sense.

Did I quote Henry Rollins in the command’s notice for the PRT. You betcha.
And beating my row time gets you duty free weekend and my parking space.

I exude command presence.

Your daily dose of “Brrrrt.” Comms isn’t our only capability.
