Hey Lynn - my son has not received his "goodie box" yet. I mailed it last Tuesday( the day after Labor Day). In his box we put lots of "junk food". Skittles, Sour Patch Kids, Pop Tarts (per his request), microwave dinners (i.e., Denny Moore Stew, et…
Hello CarolynWilliamson - welcome to Bahrain Moms! I hope your daughter loves Bahrain as much as my son. He has been there for 2 months now and is very happy! My son too was a bit shell shocked when he called us to tell us he was going to Bahrain (w…
Hi Missy - it is a box that the USPS gives you for free - and they ship it anywhere for $11.99 - no matter how much it weighs. The box itself was about 12 X 12 and is about 8 inches deep. Believe it or not I stuffed a lot of things in this box!! He…
Hi Everyone! Just a note to say I mailed my first box of "goodies" to my sailor in Bahrain today. I told him to let me know when he gets it so I can let ya'll know how long it took. He has been there for almost 2 months and loves it! Very happy with…
Cynthia - we will definitely keep him in our prayers. I know how hard it must be for him not to be with his immediate family during this time. We all send huge hugs and lots of prayers for him and his family. God Bless You.
Hey Moms - does anyone know if our sailors get a food allowance since there is not a galley on base? Just curious - trying to find out because seems like since there is nothing on base for the people stationed on the island that they would make some…
Good Evening! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Been out of touch - anything exciting happening? My oldest brother had congenital heart failure and was in MICU since last Thursday night. He is doing better now but will need to have heart surgery in…
Hello Everyone! My son said there is a difference between the hookah cafe and the hookah bars. The hookah cafe he says is nice and the hookers hang out at the hookah bars. Does anyone know if this is true?
Hi Everyone, I've been a Navy Mom for 6 months now! My son is in Bahrain and tomorrow will be 1 month since he left. He is very happy, but boy do we miss him. Thank goodness for Skype and Facebook or I don't know what I would do. Being all the way a…
Hello Shelley - my son has been there for 4 weeks now.
Hey Lynn - When Josh sent me his address it does have the 2800 after the zip code. So I would say yes. Back to the Strawberry Festival - in Pontchatoula they do close businesses and streets to allow the festival to take over the city, but it is only…
Hey Karen - Sponge Capital of the World - now I have heard it all!!! What do they do toss sponges at the parade? HAHA! My son played basketball most of his life never was interested in football - he was always thin as a rail. All the weight gain pro…

sandy F said… - you asked a question in the Bahrain group. My Son also is in Bahrain and he has been there since March 09. He just came home for a short leave, but now he is back in Bahrain. It took him to fly here into Detroit Metro Airport in Detroit, Michigan and to fly back to Bahrain 18 1/2 hours. and both times he had a lay over. I have found that the best time to call Bahrain is early in the morning for them the calls will go through. I am EST and in case you might not know they are 7 1/2 hours ahead of us. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me and I will help you as much as I can. Take Care, Sandy
P.S. If your sailor has a sell phone to use (if they want one they can get one from the NEX) when ever you call them the exchange like our area code is (011) followed by the number that your sailor gives you and or will come up on your cell phone. My land line phone when my Son calls it, it only comes up as unknown caller, but that could be just the long distance phone co. I have.
