Where's Darrick?

Hello everyone its me, Darrick. The USS Hopper just pulled into Okinawa today. We have been cruising across the ocean for eleven days. I am doing good and not having any problems with hernias. I am just really tired because we work really hard while we are out to sea. It is 10pm and I have been up since 1:30am so when I go to sleep after writing this I will sleep really good. I get a full night sleep tonight and have the day off tomorrow so I can take a tour of Okinawa. I was able to go to the Air Force base here and get a memory card for the digital camera I brought so I can get some pictures of my adventure here. Thank you for your thoughts a prayers I will try to write on here more if I can.

Here is a picture of me on the ship. See how awake I look.

hey Darrick- wake up! :o) Good to see your face! We are keeping you and your family in prayer and will be waiting for your safe return.
BTW, bitter melon is really...bitter. It is popular in Chinese food as well. I have tasted it ONCE and that was all I needed. Fried peas are good, tho!

My dad enjoyed being in Okinawa. And, actually, you're looking pretty good for a sleepy guy!
