@msnow: At a combative town hall of 500 family members of the USS George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group, Navy leaders said Iranian attacks continue to “pepper” U.S. ships enforcing the blockade of Iran. They also informed families that their deployed loved ones would not be returning home for the holidays, according to exclusive audio of the Nov. 9 meeting at Naval Station Norfolk, provided by an attendee and reviewed by MS NOW. MS NOW’s Priya Sridhar has the latest on her exclusive reporting. #usnavy #military #deployment

Marcia Flemming :

My longest deployment was 9 months war time and we didn’t have low morale because we missed the holidays 😏 try having a baby and leaving him on deployment when he was 42 days old and still swinging on my tit 🥺

Keko Honez :

I wasn’t home for the holidays during desert storm and other operations. U signed on the dotted line, yur at the needs of the navy

Fluid :

…. It’s what we sign up for.

🐢MEG🐢 :

Hoping the ships can do deployments that long. As someone who served in the navy and as an MM I understand missed holidays or extended deployments however the ships also need breaks for proper care and repair. We can’t be fit for full duty when you’ve got our ships having casualty after casualty bc of neglect. That comes with taking care of its sailors who do the upkeep for the mission.

Heather 🇨🇦 :

Crazy!!! 😡😡😡

Carlos Danger :

It’s called the US Military. It’s part of the job. I missed a lot of holidays

AlwaysMissy2022 :
