[ferla]

My son is deployed and I would like toknow how we mothers communicate with our kids. Please I need that information. He had an accident in the ship in July 3 and was traslated to Japan, we could talk until July 26 when he when back to the ship, since then I do not have any news. PLEASE HELP ME!

First thing is to RELAX, where is he deployed too,(ship or the sandbox)? Every unit has someone for you to contact, is their a group or forum of who your son is with, if so chk teir first. Other Moms will probably know. Does he have a laptop where he is? I thought everyone had an Obudsman?

[ferla]

I know about the Obudsman, but I do not know who is mine, I wrote several email, phone call, but anything work. I just want to write letters arsome call here there to have news from him. I miss my baby!! please if you have ideas let me know, I will be very thanks to you.

You need to call the fleet and family of his command. Give them the name of his ship and ask for the ombudsman's email address. You can email her and ask what your sons email address is on the ship. Every sailor has their own personal email account associated with the ship. In addition to that your ombudsman can give you additional info. She can also give you the mailing address of the ship to send letters and boxes. Hope this helps

Thank you very much. I do not know anything about it (fleet and family) Can you please give me a phone number?
I appreciate your time. Thank you.

It would be the particular fleet and family at his command, where is his permanent station?

[ferla]

His station is in San Diego, Ca. Now he is in KUWAIT.

My son is picking his orders this month and wants to go to Japan. I am not sure of how to communicate with him either if he is on a ship but, I do communicate with him through Facebook everyday. He bought a laptop a couple of months ago and, after classes, checks his Facebook email so we talk through that and I bought him a cell phone (and gladly pay for the service) with Global Capacity so we can talk even if he is stationed somewhere overseas. Hope you get to talk to your sailor soon
