The fact that he wears sunglasses is GREAT! My eye doctor told me I've about ruined my eyes by not wearing them. Do anything you can to encourage that!
If your son is anything like mine, he won't order them for himself. The Navy would probably get him some sort of corrective lenses - but not sure if they would order disposable contacts. I honestly don't know on that part. I'll ask a few friends "in the know".
I would order them for him and have them shipped over there so he can continue wearing sunglasses. It usually takes about a week to get things over there - so as long as he will be there two or three more weeks - it should be fine.
Brenda Sue thank you so much for posting the link for pictures of Msron 4. None where of my son but this is where he is deployed at this time. They were very interesting pictures. Thank you again. Brender M
Some pictures of MSRON 4
Hello everyone! It has been a while since I was on here. My son is MSRON 3 and has been in San Diego since July. He loves it. He has also said something about being consolidated with the Riverrines. Not sure how soon that will happen. Hope you all have a good week!
My son is with MSRON 11 and will be deploying for the first time. He has also been training for other duties. I think its part of putting assets where you need them when you need them and these boys and girls are good. Does anyone have any advice about the best way to communicate with them while they are out of country? Cell phone, Air Mac, Macbook Pro, Skype, Facetime? It sounds like they won't be on a base per se.
My son is currently depolyed at the time. But yes i was told they are planing on merging with river rains when they return. They will go to training for it. But they have not recived thier offical orders yet. My son is part of Msron 4
