Multiple USS Abraham Lincoln sailors have tried to go overboard amid extended deployment, families say
Annabelle Loma has spoken with her husband only a few times since he attempted to jump overboard from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln during his current deployment.
Communication has been difficult to come by, and he is now on medical hold.
Loma, who lives in San Diego, said her husband had been repeatedly overextended before he tried to jump from the carrier.
âHeâs scared,â Loma said. âHe thinks heâll get a dishonorable discharge, and just because he was burnt out, his 13-year career is ruined, just like that. Thatâs not fair, thatâs not right. Thatâs not what he should be worrying about right now.â
