@thegaragecaucus: 265 days without a scheduled port call. Nearly 11 months deployed. The USS Abraham Lincoln is finally coming home, but the human cost of extended deployments deserves a serious conversation. Missed birthdays. Exhausted sailors. Mental health concerns. And military spouses holding everything together back home. Military families: What’s the longest deployment you’ve experienced, and what do civilians not understand about it? #MilitaryLife #USNavy #militaryfamilies #Veterans #deployment
