I bathe in aviator tears to keep my youthful appearance.

Eew. You must not be able to bathe very often.

On a CVN they do a whole air show and all the Family can go on the Flight Deck and watch it. They pilots love to buzz the tower and the highlight was the sonic boom. They do a gunshoot and EOD teams will explode a mine for them. They usually have shows and special guests to play music to distract them while their sponsors actually have to work. Plus, the galley cheats that week and the enlisted mess gets wardroom food. Surf & Turf.

We did all of that (aside from surf & turf) on a one-day outing last week at the conclusion of TSTA. My parents had a great time and loved the chance to actually see that stuff in person, but there really isn't that much more to be gained by stretching it over several days. If people want an in-depth taste of the lovely parts of shipboard life, sure, but most guests are satisfied with seeing it briefly, then getting off at the end of the day and sleeping somewhere with hot water and a bed wider than their shoulders.

So while I wouldn't recommend a full tiger cruise, a 12 hour Friends and Family Day cruise is perfect.

Welp, just flew to Fallon and had sushi at the one Chinese restaurant in town. Here's hoping all the alcohol killed any potential pathogens.

I really want to get one of these stickers. And probably put the rest on our CFLs' cars.
