I really am at sea

2 05 2008

At the helmI know I’ve been conspicuously absent from my blog and Twitter.

Right now, I’m somewhere between San Diego and Hawaii aboard a Military Sealift Command (U.S. Navy) hospital ship. The communications capabilities aboard the ship are great…for anyone who has access to a computer and a telephone. Since I have VERY limited access to both, I can’t update the blog the way I’d like to.

A note of great news is that I just got back from helping my boss optimize the searchability of his blog before he puts it live on line. He will be the first person on this mission to have a personal (read: not public relations speak) blog.

Another note of great news is that the senior public affairs officer (the ship’s public relations director) has asked me to teach the 12-person public affairs team about blogging. He then wants the team to help the Sailors aboard the ship set up their own blogs!

Sorry this post is short, but I’ve had to reboot this computer twice and reconnect to the Internet five times to get this short post up. I’ll try to post again from sea a few more times.

Hola Little lady, you look great! I look forward to reading more about your adventures on the ship. I guess before I deploy again, I will require your assistance in order to establish a blog for me. Please be safe, enjoy yourself and remember 1-4-3!!!

Great to hear from you Rosie! Have a super trip. Does experience driving in DC traffic help any in steering that thing?

Hey Rosie, good to hear from you. So exciting to hear how you’re putting all our new knowledge to good use. If only my agency was so willing to learn new things . . .

Hi Rosie! Since we have not met in person I had to send the link with photo to Susan to confirm this was you! I hope you are enjoying your time on Mercy. I was on Comfort in ‘02 in the Baltic and it was a memory of a lifetime. Wishing you all the best,
Bill

Rosie~Lucky you! I bet you are having a great time. I miss you and hope you can come visit soon. Waylon is getting so big!
Congratulations on being asked to teach. I have no doubt those Sailors will know how to blog backwards and forwards!
I love you!!

Are you still out to sea? Geez, we don’t hear from you anymore. No blogs, infrequent tweets. *poof* Where did she go?
