Anti-M, A blue star candle sounds perfect...like I said, no rush. Sounds like your husband is going to be a little busy anyway. Enjoy your new counter! Besides, I think its the thought behind the candle lighting that matters most. Its a wonderful ...

Anti M, I was going to get with Ryan and have him send me a copy, just thought it would be faster to contact his last base or something, maybe his recruiter? Oh well, thanks for your input. I have a feeling its going to turn into a project. Your h...

Hello All! I have a question and could use some wisdom from my N4M friends: Trying to get Ryan's auto loan interest rate down through the Soldiers & Sailors Act & his bank needs a copy of his orders to show he's overseas. I neglected to get a copy...

Veleda, welcome from me too! I'm still somewhat new to this site, but you'll get so many hug-vibes from everyone here. My son, Ryan, just arrived at Atsugi. He'll be on the George Washington. How long has Myron been in the Navy? Did he just leave ...

Atsugi, Japan

My son, Ryan, is leaving for Atsugi on November 15th. I'd like to get more involved with this website and would like to find out more about where he'll be (USS George Washington). I think it will help me to feel not-so-far-away from him. Not looking forward to the goodbye, although I am so excited for him and so very proud of him.

Looking for Photo

I had found a photo last year of my son, Ryan, at the Chicago Navy Pier prior to his graduation in November 2008. Now I can't find the photo! It was a group photo of Division 902.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Hi Sandy, My son's name is Ryan also. He is on the Geo. Wash. too. He works on the flight deck as a trouble shooter. He is Aviation Support. He has been in Japan almost a year. He couldn't get leave at Christmas, but he will be home for leave in Jan. We miss him so much. It will be so good to have my family whole again. Welcome to the group. I don't know much except how to cry, but there is someone who knows something about most anything here. Best to you and your sailor. Ginger

Sandy, Don't know about Sprint but my husband's phone (AT & T network) works in most countries in the world. Of course, you pay roaming charges but it will be worth it to be able to talk to your son.
