Shipmates,
I just posted the following message on the BOUTWELL Facebook Page. More to follow ...
Friends and Family of the Crew of BOUTWELL. Master Chief Bowen and I just finished a visit on board BOUTWELL during a port call in Djibouti. I held an all hands, met with the Chiefs, and had lunch with the Wardroom. I also toured the engine room and discussed the engineering challenges the crew has faced. Wherever possible I took video with the crew and pictures with the help of my aide LCDR Jo Cousins. We will be posting them in the next day or two as we are still traveling.
The crew has worked hard and represented the US and Coast Guard well. We actually delivered a spare part for the EO and some mail. We also brought 5 new DVD of movies that hadn't been released on their departure.
My thanks to all of you who have supported your Guardian. Again, we will post pictures and video as we can upload them.
ADM A
