My Sailor was manning the rails until it came a downpour and they had to go in

I wont you all to know how blessed we are to have a wonderful Chaplain named David Duprey on board the Lincoln. i have spoke with him on the phone my Sailor hit a bump but he assured me after speaking with the Master Chief things are not as gloomy at it seemed these last couple of days. Im thankful for all the crew on the Lincoln they truely are like family:)  enjoy your sailors and God bless each and everyone of you.  safe journey...

Ok we just tried to just get onto base & they're not taking Lincoln visitors until noon. So if you're on your way there turn around & wait until noon. We are taking a Starbucks break until then. Oh & I had my my niece & nephew color me a purple rich on & I pinned it on my shirt!!!ol

Linda...how long will you be staying? I have 3 rooms booked at Navy Lodge. I booked extra days because I didn't know what his orders would be and I haven't canceled them yet being cautious. We will be checking out on the 8th but I have the rooms until the 10th. Perhaps the rooms I have will be available beyond what I had them for so you can add dates. Let me know.

Of course I'm already awake - waaaay before I need to be but at least I got a few hours of sleep.  My sister and kids, and myself are planning on heading to the pier a little before 10 this am.  I like being to places early, especially if it's a new place.  If we end up being super early, that's okay, we'll be there and ready to go.  My sister asked me why I wanted to be so close to the pier!  I love her lots - but seriously!!!!!!!  lol

Thanks Meagan. My Sailor said it was too late to get us on a list to gain entrance so he said he was going to walk to the entrance. I'll let him know he's in for quite a hike. Maybe he'll figure out a way to gain access for us. Lol

Hey ladies just wanted to pass on this info from the Ombudsmans!!

 

For family members attending the ship pulling into Naval Station Mayport: there will be no shuttles available to take you to the base from the airport. If you are taking a cab make sure it is a cab that is allowed onto base before you get in the cab. It is roughly a 3 mile walk from the gate to the pier, however as long as your cab is allowed on base they can bring you close to the pier. Please feel free to call us at 757-447-4ABE with further questions.
