As of late Admiral Mullen's wife has been more visible to the people of the USA than ever. She is a wonderful example of a spouse 'in it for the long haul.' It isn't easy being a spouse left behind for months and months at a time to find out 'the stunts' that have occurred on board your spouses deployment is a challenge to your marriage.
The USA military needs to address protocols for raising morale. Where it the USO when you need them?
I find it really difficult to believe that Navy personnel 'have it so tough' that they have to amuse themselves with a comedian for a Commander.
I don't think so.
Granted they are 'at sea' for 3 to 6 months or longer, but, they can't sustain themselves in good humor for that period of time?
Really?
Put a bowling ally and a movie theater on these ships and call it a day.
