Katherine 'Williams' DeMoure-Aldrich

1969

 

Update: Katherine shipped out for the Mid-East on 07/11/07

I was married in 2002 while living aboard my catamaran.  My husband died less than four months later in January 2003.  I’m currently working as a merchant sailor (able-bodied seaman) for Military Sealift Fleet Support Command aboard the USNS Lewis and Clark (T-AKE 1).  I’m one of the primary helmsmen that takes the ship in and out of port and steers during underway replenishments when we supply our Navy and Coast Guard vessels with necessary fuel and supplies of all kinds.  Within two years I should upgrade to an officer position.  We’ll be going to Europe in the summer of 2007 and again in 2008.  I’ve purchased fifty acres of property and a home in Virginia, although I’m rarely there since I spend virtually all my time on my ship.

Update: 03/11/09

Well, I’m signing off my ship, the USNS Lewis and Clark (T-AKE 1) today after over three years aboard to FINALLY go to school for my third mate’s license.  I’ll be going to school in Virginia Beach for a few months and then go back to another ship.  It will take about two years to get my license, but I’m on my way at least.

 I’m flying home from Dubai, United Arab Emirates after being at sea for the last five weeks providing support to various navy ships that have been fighting pirates in the Gulf of Aden.  Our ship housed the suspected pirates in one of it’s holds during that time while we waited to transport them near Djibouti and Kenya where they will be taken to be tried for piracy.  It’s was a long five weeks, very unlike our normal operations which is supplying fuel and supplies to navy ships.

 I’m glad to be getting back to Virginia and taking a few months of living like a normal American with normal work hours and weekends off.  I normally work two shifts of four hours a day, eight hours apart, seven days a week unless we’re in port where our schedule changes every three days.  Of course I’m expected to steer while we’re supplying the navy ships too since there are only three people aboard that are allowed to do that based on their performance.  I’ve worked many sixteen hour days or more with little time off in between.  Going to school again is going to feel like a vacation.

 Anyhow, that’s my latest.
