<p>You will still have the holidays, you just have to change the dates, or have new ways to do things. It will be easier for him than for you, there are lots of dinners and church programs and things to do for the single sailors. Sometimes the married sailors invite a bunch of them over and they all celebrate together. Much harder for you than for him, he won't be alone.</p>
<p>It is a tough adjustment! </p>

<p>Hello to All!</p>
<p>I am new to this site. My son will be leaving for Japan on October 29th. He is headed home tomorrow from Great Lakes to Sacramento. I can't wait to see him! I am wondering what options and forms of communication we will have to stay connected. I have heard of Magic Jack??? Any other tips would be greatly appreciated. He will be on the US Lasser....is there anyone else traveling this time frame? Thanks to all and prayers are in place for our Navy Sailor that Blondie…</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>My daughter arrived in Japan on June 9th and I can tell you it is heartbreaking that she is so far away. She really hated it while on base and was pretty homesick. She is now deployed on the USS George Washington and is so busy and loves her rate. She is s damage controlman and she just loves being on the ship. I am only hoping that when she gets back to the base she will adjust to Japan a little better. She is stationed in Yokosuka.</p>

<p>My son was in Japan for 3 years, he's been back in the states for 11 months. He had so much fun over there and all the neat stuff he got to see and do. Yes it was hard on me at first, then I got him a Majic Jack for $19 which pluged into his commputer and we could talk all we wanted for free.</p>

I don't even want to think about the length of time that she's gonna be over there, my nerves would be shot for real, I would probably try to run her ship down after 4 mths. lol

Omg!! Please don't tell me that her cell phone won't work there...that's my for sure way of hearing from her on a regular. She's so excited to be going to Japan, but I'm not.. she's my baby and I'm just adjusting to her going to Florida for her A-school.!!
