Vernita, My sailor is doing well....... he was home for a few weeks, he has shore duty in Hawaii at Camp Smith. Hope everyone else is doing good and a Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Thanks for all the responses to my question, but I have one more....are you suppose to call the Red Cross even if the person you need to get ahold of is not on a ship and we know how to contact him?

Just a question, so if there is a death in the family, is the best way for this to be handled through the Red Cross rather then the person themselve or their command?

Another sad day for me today....... my son left to go back to HI after a 14 day trip home. I just left him at the airport. These "goodbyes" are tough each time.

Navymom2009, I really doubt that your son was allowed to have his cell phone. Right when they get to BC, they have to put all their belongings in a Box that will then be sent home. If he didnt call you the night he arrived, you probably wont here ...

NorthernRN, Yes I am planning a trip sometime next April or May, I can handle 70/80, but I sure dont like the humidity. Though I live in OKlahoma and it gets hot here. My son is coming home next weekend so I plan on waiting til next year as he has...

Hi All, I have already been to PIR back in May and for my son they had to be back in there room by 8:00 each night, so that meant being dropped off on base by 7:00 to allow him time to walk back to his room, and this was for all 3 nights. Since my...

Does anyone know what the weather is like in HI around April, May?
October 23
Hi Rhonda, My son is in HI and I am also from OKC, I plan on going sometime next year around April, hopefully we can find some good plane rates. Where will you be staying do you think? I am thinking about staying at the Navy Lodge, or a resort in ...

Nancy, No I havent called the Post Office to check on the PO Box fees, I was just curious, as my son has a box at a Kinko's store I believe, but that is expensive to me, so I was just wanting to know the Post Office costs to let him know the diffe...

Does anyone know how much it costs in HI to get a PO Box at the Post Office there?

Though I agree with Lisa, I do believe if they do not tell they would be discharged, but if they do tell they have a better chance of Captain's Mast and drivers license suppension and other punishments. He needs to tell

yes the goodbys are hard but it amazes me that our sons know how to get around the airports and how to contact someone when they need help at the airports.
also you can contact flight track to see how the plane is doing up in the air.
it is so cool to see it on the screen.

Hi Lily! I saw your post in the Hawaii group. I also live in OK. My son is on the USS Olympia in Pearl Harbor and has been in the Navy for 3 years now.

Have you joined the OK group? There is a lunch scheduled for 11/7 in south Tulsa. What part of OK do you live in? I am north of Tulsa. Hope to talk with you soon.

Yes, you answered me last week. If I were you I'd stay at the Navy Lodge as it will be closer to get to Fort Smith & you won't have to worry about paying a parking fee to stay at one of the dowtown hotels. If you plan on going in November, have your son make reservations at the Navy Lodge now as they book months in advance. Sometimes there are cars for sale on the military bases from people who are PCS'ing back to the mainland & don't want to be bothered transporting their car. So have him look into that prior to going out & looking. Another thing, stay away from car lots that are located near the base.

Hi Lily,
I'm just looking at your page and see your son went to A school in Meridian, is he an SK? My son went to Meridian also and is an SK, he is with the SEAL TEAM ONE Delivery Team in HI. He actually traveled to Whidbey Island this past Spring with the SEALs to support them in their training. Lynda

I've heard of Camp Smith but really don't know anything about it. I just looked it up online & the site says it's near Aiea which is near Pearl Harbor & Pearl City. I'll call Ashley later & ask her if she knows anything about it.
