Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone has heard of the Rackpacks and if they are allowed to have them on the USS Tortuga? I am trying to come up with ideas for Christmas.
Thanks

I am the proud mommy of four children my oldest, Michael is my sailor. He is 18. My daughter Maya is 16 and will graduate in 09 and will study pre med. My other gifts include twin 10 year old girls, named Arnelle and Hershelle. Since 1990, my children have pretty much been my whole life and my goal has and is to give them the best start possible in this life. Thus far, I am very proud of their accomplishments, at this moment, I am especially proud of my sailor as he begins his career in the beautiful continent of Asia.
I am here to support or represent my:

Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Needed to learn more about it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
I have learned to trust the process and to embrace the moments that we have together.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.
Hey Princess: Have a mom on the "Undes" page with a son who just arrived in Japan and isn't doing well.....lonely. Wondering if you could pop in and give her some peace of mind!
Haven't heard from you in a while, what's new? Cory will be arrving home next Friday, he has a weeks leave.....as you can imagine, I'm anxious to hug that kid!!!
Princess, I called American Airlines directly and spoke to a rep in order to get the good, non-published fare/trip. She gave us an itinerary we couldn't have booked online, so it was well worth calling. Go here: http://www.mwr.navy.mil/mwrprgms/itt_airlines.htm for numbers to call. All these airlines, in appreciation for military service, have special rates you have to call to take advantage of. Best of luck!!
Hi Princess,
Any word from you son yet? I read your messages on the Japan site. So glad to hear you are feeling better about the situation for Mike. Please keep me posted on how he does. The pictures were placed on my page in the comment wall area. . Just scroll down my comment wall until you come to the pictures. If they do not come up there - visit the MN Mothers' site. There you would have to scroll back several pages but the pictures will come up. my son is the one leaning back in a chair - holding his hat. And there is one of Alex with Ricky. It is the one with Ricky in a white t-shirt adn Alex is making a funny smiley face and signing " I Love You". Hope you can see these pictures. I so want you to meet my Alex :) Have a great weekend. TLynn
HiPrincess,
Please visit my page and view my comment area. Another MN Mom - who's son is on the same ship with mine -took pcutres. She posted a picture of my son!! Please vist my page. I so want you to see him. :) I still have not made my page as loving as yours., I am hoping things will quiet down here and my firend will come over to help me. But finally I have something to share. :) Hope your day is wonderful. My is after I saw that picture !!!!! talk later TLynn
You had a bad storm? No, we just received a thunderstorm and beautiful lightning. We did have plenty of rain, but we need it with all the new gras growing. I sent you a message, but I talked so much in it, that I had to finish up in a second one. I forgot to ask - what is your daughter's major? Talk a little later - laundry calling. TLynn
Hi Princess,
Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope everything is well. How is Mike? Ryan sounds very tired; I think it's the heat, but he's hanging in there, I guess. He's never been one to complain so I never really know.
Princess: Life has been CRAZY! Seems like you and I were going through some family stuff about the same time! My aunt in Mesa was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer about 6 weeks ago. She was in St. Joes and then transferred to the rehab facility where I work. I'm the ONLY family in the Phoenix area....so, you can imagine the rest. She will move to Tucson the 7th....I have several siblings there....so life should calm down a bit.
Cory if ready to test for gunners-mate. He left on May 25th for some kind of training excercise....he called at 3 AM that day and said "I just called to say I love you, mom. We're headed out now.". I , of course didn't know where "out" was and he couldn't tell me. We had no (zero) contact for the past 7 weeks....but he called yesterday and was back in Virginia. He had been in Africa!!! I made plane reservations last night and will be flying out to see him on the 23rd.
I can't believe Michael gets to go to Australia.....that's one place I've always wanted to see. My second son, Brett, went for his high school graduation trip and said it was amazing!!! Have him take lots of pictures. Just exactly what is "crank" duty?
So your daughter wil be off to school in Ohio soon. Pre Med, isn't it? You must be so awfully proud!
Looking forward to meeting you in person...we're still on for Last Chance, aren't we?
Got your message from yesterday....What a small world, that both our son's would be heading in the same direction....If they pull into port, I'm hoping that they'll connect with each other...Im sending Andrew an email to keep an eye out for your son...That is so great, what small world the both going to Austraia. Your welcome to pass on son Andrew Tovar, US Denver, your son Mike can email can email him there.
We enjoyed Chicago while are you to the Great Lakes Naval Base? Andrew spent a year there, he like it too.
I've never on line chat yet maybe it.
Talk to you soon,
Muriel
