Need educating please.
But I am have a son serving in the Navy. I don't think I could purchase from the commissary.

The internet is amazing... you can email the commissary in Yokosuka, and I am assuming all other locations too. The commissary system has a website, with a page for individual locations:

Yokosuka commissary

Oops. For you civilians, the commissary is the base grocery store. We still make trips to our local air base to shop there, so much cheaper than civilian stores.

Thank you. I'll ask him. The apple butter is not home made. It is from Edward's Apple Orchard. Every Autumn - that was the place all would go for picking apples - getting fresh made apple cider and apple cider domuts - fresh made frudge and so on. Autumn is a favoirte time of year for this family His last phone call - he was missing this family and friend time very much. so we were hoping to send him some. Take care - feeling better? Tlynn

T-Lynn, apple butter will travel if packed well enough. I received things in glass jars, usually successfully. Not always. Is it homemade? If not, he should check the commissary, they may carry it. Oddly, many of the single sailors on ships and in barracks never go to the commissary. I have yet to figure that out.

Only Navy Dad could get food involved with his admins job. Quote: " ... from this desk - to the refrigerator- to the coach ..." end of quote. You need to meet my sailor Navy Dad - food is his favorite topic. He actually growled if anyone would touch his plate when he ate or tried to get another slice of pizza before him. You two could have a great Sasebo Burger! Just don't touch his plate while he is eating. I've said this before - oh - how I wish all of our Japan Sailors could meet. Our kids would have a a great time talking about us. And going to Epcot - and getting pictures and items to send to you son for Halloween - what a hoot! Oh - Jim - thank you. You really are a hero - you didn't sit and talk - you acted. And how about getting this Navy Dad on this site? His duaghter is stationed in Japan. Sandy - get a calendar and a planner - this year is going to fly by for you - so happy. Anita - if you like I would gladly send you long distance Reiki Healings to help you. Sure hopw you do feel better soon. Need to start crank duty - Mom is still stalling on what she wants me to bake. So I got frustrated and baked both chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies yesterday afternoon Yes, I did get the apple cider to go with. Need an answer to a question please: My son is wanting apple butter in the worst way. If I double wrap the jar of apple butter in bubble wrap and place it in 2 freezer zip lock bags - can I mail it? And my tongue is so much better - thank you for the gel idea. Now, I am done gossiping for a moment. I said a moment Navy Dad. Everyone - hugs! TLynn

LOL, Navy Dad! I'm docked on the couch today, I have a cold, which may or may not be the flu. Blech.

T-Lynn, you have admin powers here, so if we get spam or bad opsec you can delete the post.

I haven't heard from melia in quite a while. I know she has two little kids, so maybe she's just busy.

Thanks for the help on my sore tongue. But I was not able to get out to a store last night. So I did the next best thing - Jack Daniels - Black Label No 7.
I feel good all over ! But can't have that during the day - so my son is going out to store to day and I'll have him get me that gel. Thanks Anit M for the reminder of loose lips, but still what did I actaully volun-told for? By the way - anyone heard from Melia lately? Got to go - starting of getting ready for Mom's 89th birthday this Halloween! Hugs to all :) Tlynn

I've seen some poor posts elsewhere, so I'd like to keep all our new members up to speed on the subject of OPSEC. If you don't know what it is, please go read this:

I'm a bear on OPSEC!!!!! This board is far from secure, so don't talk ship's movement. Most folks here do very, very well, but I thought I'd help educate any newbies.

Anti M - Thanks for your response. I got the impression from my daughter that that may be the way things are with leaves, but wondered what someone with more experience had to say. I appreciate your input.
