    Went and visited her during the Fenway shows. It was a must for me. Can't pass on the opportunity to see the oldest ship in the Navy. Very cool and some parts, I can't help but to let my imagination run wild and put myself in the shoes of those who served before me. I got chosen to go there next week for a Navy event. Supposedly we will get to go underway and fire cannons and shit. Can't wait.

    oh please report back your experience.

    edit to add, just reread your post, you said served before me. Are you active, reserve or vet? Where were you stationed and when? What ship(s), deployments etc.....

    Will do. Pretty pumped about the trip.

    Active. Almost 13 years now. Was on the good ol' DDG77 out of Hawaii for six+ yrs where I deployed to the Middle East five times. Got stationed in South Jersey after where I worked side-by-side with Lockheed Martin for almost 4 years. Now I'm in Virginia Beach working mainly with European Ballistic Missile Defense. Once our station is ready, we will be deploying to Poland. Basically a ship's superstructure on land. Crazy to think all this started with the USS Constitution. A ship propelled by wind and now we're blowing shit up in outer space.

    attached to a broader NATO mission? Mixed service personnel? Being land based , it seems to be within USAF wheelhouse.

    Ha. Nope. These are buildings in a field. It's really neat and the capabilities are incredible.

    I went too, it was really impressive.  I can’t imagine living in something like that.  Thank you for your service gentleman.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......
