We want you, we want you for a new recruit

At 5:45am on October 22, I leave to join the Navy for one week.
I get to Honolulu about 3:30 local time, 6 hours in the future from home.
Thankfully my Navy duty will start with some time off at the beach, surfing, watching the Tenn/Bama game and hanging out in Hawaii.
On the 26th I will board the USS Peleliu for a week long Tiger Cruise.
The Tiger Cruise is a week long trip from Peal Harbor to Camp Pendleton (where I will be taken off the ship via military hovercraft). From Pendleton I will be bussed down to San Diego where I will meet up with my sister who will be waiting for her husband (who she has not seen in 6 months and I just spent a week with) to fly off the ship in his helicopter.
While I am on the ship not only will I get to hang out with my brother in-law, a combat rescue swimmer, I will get: "...meals, a PELELIU ball cap, a tiger t-shirt, patch, and picture. Additionally, the Tigers will be given the opportunity to complete a Tiger PQS and earn a Tiger Surface Warfare Specialist qualification pin. Tours of various spaces on the ship, an air power demonstration, amphibious warfare demo, DC Olympics, a Steel Beach Picnic, and various other MWR-style events...".
I don't know what half that is, but I look forward to telling you all about it as I find out.
