I heard 5 hour energy are a hot commodity, is that bad for them?

thanks!

 my brother is the same way, he left with 5 bottles of sriracha (his favorite) and only has 2 left! so i would say that it must be bland!!!!!!! so hopefully the stores here are prepared to have their stock reordered alot in the coming months!

Hi Jessica! Welcome to the group!  My son also requested his favorite hot sauce... apparently some of the food onboard can be a little bland.  But then again, he puts it on anything and everything!

hello everyone,

just wanted to introduce myself real quick. My name is Jessica and i have a younger brother that is an it2 aboard for deployment. We are from the west coast, this is my brothers 2nd year in the navy. Our mom passed away in 2008, and i am his next biggest fan!, therefore have taken over the normal role that a mom would do for a son while away!!

with that said i am gathering items to send to my brother and possibly some of his ship mates if i get the info needed from him.

is there anything that you all can recommend sending to him and others, as i have personally not heard from him as of yet. His request before deploying was his favorite hot sauce (and lots of it!) I am looking for the things that is overlooked and not personalized to just him, i am sending the normal stuff like shirts and socks.

if i could get some help with ideas that would be great!

I also have a group of friends that would like to get care packages together for others aboard. so if there is anyone you know that may need a package from "home" , please contact me with info . so i can try to make it happen!!

thank you again, looking forward to talking with you all!

jessica

That's horrible. Its really too bad that the same people you're supposed to trust with your life are the people who you can't trust around your material items. Helen said her son's iPhone was stolen and he had some cash stolen from him too. I told Nicholas to take a permanent marker and write his name all over his laptop. He went back to his ship on Friday for duty and someone had taken the privacy curtains from his rack! Nothing is sacred. You might be able to ask the Ombudsman if there is a policy or procedure to follow to report these things?

Thanks Linda! So, it's my son's first day at sea and someone 'borrowed' his IPad. Okay, it was stolen. What should he do? Who does he report this to? He says he can't report it unless he has an idea who took it. Baloney. It could be one of 900 people. I hope he just misplaced it...

Sorry for all the individual entries! I created an album, but couldn't figure out quite how to load it so you all could view it.  Anyway, these are just some pictures I took with  my phone, we were pleasantly surprised to see the San Antonio as we were crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on our way out of town, so we stopped to get a few more.  The picture in the dark is when we were onboard with my son around 6:30ish that morning, I took it from the deck of the San Antonio.
