Troy on deployment: nice evening on the flight deck
August 29th, 2009
BY TROY
Nothing but water, as far as the eye can see.
Anyone care to guess how many planes are visible in this photo? Anyone?
Computers in my office…does the desktop wallpaper on the far right look familiar? It’s Day 4 of 180 photos for Troy (the photos Bethany and Annalie are taking for me every day while I’m gone).
[My husband Troy is in the U.S. Navy. He's on a six-month deployment right now, and thanks to the wonders of the internet it's easy to stay in touch. We email daily, and occasionally he'll send me photos. Just like when I first started blogging (as I explain on my About page) I'm posting photos here so our friends and family can keep tabs on what Troy's up to halfway around the world. Troy and his ship are both on Twitter, if you want to follow them. And you can add Troy as a Flickr friend, too. ---Bethany]

Love your posts Troy. Thank you for serving our country!
Beautiful picture of the sea and sky, Troy. So peaceful and calm.
And I love seeing your posts and pictures about life onboard an aircraft carrier. It’s a peek we civilians don’t get to see. Thank you for sharing!
And thank you for doing what you do. :)
Great pictures, love the open water one, it’s just beautiful. And I say 7 airplanes that I see. Let me know if I’m right. And love the 68 painted on the ship, what a wonderful year that was :)
Wow. Those are awesome photos!! I thought Bethany had the good camera! I guess I was wrong. :)
I love these posts. We miss you too Troy! Especially last night when I was trying to figure out how to fix Bethany’s ironing board with a really long screw. You’ll probably have to fix up my fix-it job when you get back… but hey! I haven’t broken your garbage disposal yet!
How cool is this?! I’ve never seen what’s inside a Navy ship before – thanks for sharing and thank you more for doing what you do to serve our great nation!
Once again, this is what I love about blogging – the chance to peek into someone else’s so very different world. Thanks for sharing, Troy :-)
SO COOL. Seriously. So very, very cool.
These are awesome pictures. When I was looking at the first one I was trying to figure out how you got the water to glitter. Then I realized its just the dust and on my screen reflecting the sun. Heh. Time to invest in some monitor wipes.
[...] potessi più staccarmi dal suo blog, per sapere come stanno lei e sua figlia Annalie, per sapere come sta Troy, per sapere se il tempo riesce a passare [...]
[...] as if I could no longer stop reading her blog, to know how she and her daughter Annalie are, to see how Troy is, to know if time can go fast [...]
That is so cool!!! I’m sure that maybe the novelty of only water as far as the eye can see might wear off after a while, but it looks pretty stellar!
