USNS Comfort - Welcome Home!
Just wanted to take a second out and welcome back the crew of the Comfort. I can not believe that time went by so fast. I still remember taking a friend of mine out to dinner at Silver Diner right before she got deployed. I have not heard from here but I hope that she is safe and sound and back in one piece.
If you read the comfort blog, you know that they suffered a tragedy while they were doing their great work, and Senior Chief Branum will surely be missed!
I wish I was able to go on that ship but unfortunately I had to transfer and am now stuck here in Portsmouth forever!
I am proud of everyone who was on that deployment for all of the wonderful work they did! If you have some time check out that blog, it details all the work that went down during that deployment. Some very wonderful and touching stories on there!
Big Navy Hooyaa! For all who were a part of this. I read on the White House Blog, that Mrs. Obama welcomed all of the sailors back home right here in Norfolk! I cannot believe that I was out of town and missed this event, would have been great to see all of my friends.
Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

via Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow June 27, 2026I'm in bed, I have the windows wide open, and the fan on full blast, and I'm actually starting to feel cold. I'm very glad we're finally reaching the end of this heatwave.
