Hello everyone! This is my first Christmas without my son. He is in Goose Creek, SC. I thought I mailed his Christmas gifts on time, but now I'm wondering if the mailroom is closed for the holidays. UPS says the package got there Friday. Does anyone…
Will the mailroom be closed next week?
LeAnne - This is the first time my son won't be home for Christmas also. It just won't be the same without him. I'm finishing up shopping today. You've given me some ideas.
Great idea! I know it's super cold there. I'll work more on this tomorrow. Thank you!
I think he'll be on base for a short while, then move into an apartment. Actually the practical side is a great idea. I didn't even think about that. Thank you so much!
Is there a section on Christmas gift ideas for Nukes? I was ready to mail tomorrow, but someone mentioned a Wii might be a good idea too. I know nothing about them, or if they even have time for that kind of thing. I welcome any last minute ideas! H…
Hello everyone! I'm not able to visit the site much, but just had to jump on here and say......I'm SO excited my son is coming home. First time since January. He's in Nuke school and will be here june 12th.
There are so many ideas out there, groups that actually will send packages or gifts to our troops, recipes, themes, all kinds of ideas it would be fun to have an area to store them even though we have them scattered in other groups.

- Tonya, my son is also a Nuke at Goose Creek. He's just finishing his 1st week of classes but has been in GC for 3 weeks. There is a group on N4M's all about care packages. It's called something like "Care Package ideas" or something. I've also found some good websites from there, they have a lot of links. You can go to my profile (just click on my name) and then look at my groups on the left side of my page. Happy Hunting!!

Dorothy Bush said… - HI, my name is Dorothy, and my son Justin has been in SD since Aug 07. I did go to SC to see him graduate, if you can it is a neat sight. I still him cookies, some homebaked and some store bought. He loves oreos. I will find neat treats that he liked as a child. One thing I always did for him, was I would bake 2 boxes of the Pillsbury dough boy "holiday" cookies. Before he joined the navy, I would do this. He always ate all but one, which I was allowed to eat before he took the rest. So I make those, send oreos, sent jelly beans for easter. They will appreciate anything you send. Storage is tight so I usually send cookies. Hope that helps.
