My husband is on the USS Ashland LSD 48. Anyone else have someone on that ship?

Hello Everyone, I started an USS Whidbey Island (LSD 41) Family and Friends group since there wasn't one! Come join me if your loved one is on USS Whidbey Island (LSD 41) or if you just want to support them

Not really sure where he is on the base. Michael is on facebook though, so he could look him up on there pretty easily. Michael ended up with stress fractures in both legs, so that's why he had to drop. He was almost done with preBuds before it happened. They wanted to cast both of his legs, but he said "No way." If Gabe tries to get ahold of him and can't, let me know and I'll send you a private message with his phone number or something.

Did Michael have an injury issue as well? Do you think he'll go back to spec ops? Gabe talks a lot about it. He has two great friends who were both dropped for minor injuries, and they all three plan to go back when their term is done in their current rate. In the meantime all three have gotten their skydiving lisence. Now Gabe is a scuba and a sky diver. He makes me nervous. Gabe was in GM training for a while and was thinking about Riverine, but then he had the opportunity to audition for vocalist. I can say the Navy has really allowed him to use his gifts. Both Gabe and we are thrilled with the training he is getting and the opportunities ahead of him. Go Navy!!!

I'm so glad to hear Michael is doing well. I'm not surprised. Gabe was asking where he is on the base. He wants to find him and say "Hey". I'll let him know he is Riverine/SK.

He's doing great Susie. Thanks for asking. He finished SK school and is now training for Riverine. The chiefs keep telling him, "You should go (here)... and You should go (there)...", cause he works so hard and is in such great shape. Michael loves the accolades, but it drives me nuts. I never know what he's going to be doing next. Right now the SK chief is trying to get him moved back into spec. ops. ASAP, because his "talent is completely wasted as an SK." Michael knows it's just a bunch of talk though, because they can't do much do get him back in the SEAL program until he's been in Riverine/SK for two years.

Anyway, he loves being in the Navy and has never regretted his decision for a minute. How's your son doing? I saw he's in the music program. What an honor!!! I remember you talking about his music back in the BC days. It sounds like all of the guys are finally settling in and finding their niche. Hope all is well with you.
