My son-in-law is a US Marine. He is attached to VMFA-323, the Death Rattlers. They are a Marine attack squadron. He is a power technician on the F-18 Super Hornet and he works the flight line. They are currently stationed aboard the USS John C. Stennis.
Here's his squadron:
Official Website for Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 323
It's called a Tiger Cruise and is US Navy tradition. I am flattered that he asked me, and that I get to go. It's a once in a lifetime chance.
Here's a little blurb about Tiger Cruise:
Simply put, a "TIGER CRUISE" is a chance for relatives of the sailors to experience what living & working on a functional naval vessel is like. The navy will set you up with your own berth with the other sailors,(& fellow Tiger cruisers) feed you, & from what we are hearing put on an "airshow". You'll see all aircraft take off & get arrested, as well as a series of high speed flybys.
A U.S.O. show is in the works, with some big name entertainment........but with all things we'll just have to wait to see what will materialize.
Yes, I do. And that's ok.

Here's some footage of a Tiger Cruise airshow.
I so cannot wait. Wonder if they'll let me fly one of the planes?
