...speaking of old sailor traditions

my friend Candlejack wants to get some swallows to represent his miles of driving across the country and it occurred to me that I really should look up how many NM I’ve actually done while in the Navy. The tradition is a swallow for every 5000 NM traveled.

The problem is, I don’t really know how to go about figuring that out. I know I went on 2 full Western Pacific deployments and one was in support of the Desert Shield/Desert Storm so we spent a lot of time churning up the ocean. I just don’t know the exact distance or even a reasonable guess.
