The Chaplain aboard has been a great contact and when asked What particlars do you want for your crew? He did respond...Well I had some of those 5 hours energy drinks and they went like HOT CAKES, SO YES< they are asking for 5 hours energy drinks!!!! Mollys Adopt a sailor is doing pillowcases, Shirley has been a busy beaver "customing" a ton of them. I myself, we bring some 5hr energy stuff and some "regular basic" needs for the sailors, I will also bring some of those white T's....guys on ships REALLY do need them, part of their daily uniform, whether in coveralls or working blues......So come one COME all...come support the USS CLEVELAND oh and PS.
The chaplain also said, that over the holidays another large org. was "supposed' to be sending the ship packages, only the Cleveland received NOTHING...They are coming to a close of their LONG deployment so mailing quickly and swiftly is a MUST!!! So please join us.♥

Jodi, please feel free to grip grip away!
I have heard of the Navy over paying quite a bit. The sailors must really look at their pay! some times a tuff lesson is learned . I can understand how your son missed his meals on his paycheck, its not like is a large amount deducted each time. But glad to hear that he is not real upset and taking it like an adult!!! kudos to mamma jody for raising such a great young man! ♥

okay mommas sorry I must 'grumble' about the Navy for just 1 second. I'm just so appalled that they did this to my son...he owes the Navy $2,000. in May when he got out to WA someone entered paperwork wrong and he's not been deducted for eating in the galley and he's been being paid as though he's eating off base. they're making him repay it $130.00 per month. he had no idea. unbelievable that a mistake can be made like that. he's not real upset about it, says he may even pay it off in full but, that really sucks.
