If you know what it's like at sea you'd know it's windy as fuck. That's what causes the chop or better known as "swells" or wave action at sea. It all depended on how windy it was that day. Bush never would have given that speech on the flight-deck of his own choice. There is enough room in an empty hanger-deck for the speech, but someone decided to hold it on the flight-deck. Big mistake, but somebody wanted the photo-op. Hardly anyone would be able to hear him and he would have had gusts of wind blowing on him that would have turned it into a joke. So they probably came in close a day early to get the speech done.
I heard Bush helo'd off anyway, but they had to wait for the draft report before they went in. It took me a couple of weeks to learn it by heart and it was a pain in the ass doing it, but I didn't mind it too much cuz I knew we were going in.
They did not come in a day early...they stayed a day late.
Families waited....some who had flown down from WA (Lincoln's homeport).
They knew they waited for a presidential photoop using a multi-billion dollar prop. We all knew.
tissue?
Oh, they got over it...Military families are tough. Doesn't mean they were fooled tho.
