Last summer, KLMJ listener 's were able to learn about life onboard a United States aircraft carrier. Station Manager Craig Donnelly's son, Jonathan, is a crew member onboard the USS Carl Vinson. In June 2011, Craig had an opportunity to sail home from Hawaii with his son Jon to the Carl Vinson's home port in San Diego on what the Navy calls a tiger cruise. This Friday, Craig will join Jon again as the carrier returns home from a 176 day deployment in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Craig's daily reports from last years tiger cruise including pictures, videos and interviews with local sailors serving on the Carl Vinson are back online at KLMJ dot com. Starting Friday Craig will begin filing new reports and updates from his 2012 tiger cruise. Also serving on the Carl Vinson from Hampton are Nate Dirksen and Sean Weber, all three are Hampton Dumont graduates, Donnelly and Dirksen in 2008, and Weber in 2007. |
