 Once these orders were available to the Seahawks of VAW 126 I made a couple phone calls and found out that they actually deployed on their Truman So once I made the phone call found out which ship they were attached to I'm like, okay You know me and my daughter will be serving the Navy together proudly I Think it's a great feeling. I've always wondered, you know even before I join the Navy if I ever have kids What would it what would it be like actually serve with your kids? And then over the years I've seen brothers and sisters serve together. I've seen cousins, but never really a father and daughter So I think this is a great opportunity for both of us to actually serve on the same ship. I Found out I was going to be deploying with my father in the summer of 2012 He was up for orders. He knew he wanted to go to a squadron on the east coast and the Seahawks Just happened to be deploying with us. Yes to be on my first appointment with my dad is going to be a Relief because knowing that I always have a piece of home with me I always have someone to talk to or go to when there's a problem or just someone there to make me smile throughout the day Or whenever I need to I was excited because I knew I would always have my dad there And my mom would be at have a piece of mind knowing that I was always okay because he would be able to tell her And eat and talk to her when I wasn't with this being my first appointment and possibly his last will be able to experience port visits together and just the whole shipboard life and he'll be able to give me guidance on certain things and Just he'll be able to be a good mentor
