Hi -
Just off the phone with my son !!!!! He is out on spring tour and now, sounds like he is starting to enjoy it. Even thought his entire tour is Crank Duty. Now - he said he is being called a Wog or Wob ( sorry the connection was bad at times ) And the funny thing about this is that one of the officers of the ship is one too. Then he was so happy - he finally got a shipmate to go to something he wanted to see - the aquarium. And later today - he is hoping they wil see a Turtle museum. I know this sounds silly, but we grew up visiting museums - fossil digs - etc, and he was not having any luck with anyone who wanted to go. But that is changing. Then he told me one crewman came down with the chicken pox. Plus, after this poor guy did - two others came forward that they never had it! All I could think off was: take oat meal baths - place the bed linens into the freezers ( helps stop the itching ) and plenty of that pink lotion.
( brain dead here - help me out). And - my son already had the chicken pox back in second grade. But any ideas on what could be helpful to those guys? And can the chicken pox be caught a second time? And Anti M - he answered my questions: - sex hotels, vending machines, etc. And he still said that he knows no lther shipmate with a mom on N4Ms. I don't think he is going to tell them about it eithor! Will look forward to some advice on chicken pox. take care T:)

Oh, Melia, the plumeria are so lovely! I have a tiny bottle of plumeria perfume to remind me of one of my Navy homes... sadly, I'm horribly allergic to plumeria in person!

Good Mroning everyone.
Reading has been interesting. Again educational for me. Just going to add my 2 cents worth. If you don't like it - just comment back - here's your 2 cents back. First - thank you ladies ( Princess and Melia). Both of you shared loving/ happy/importnat news. Princess - I did so enjoy hearing about your son's safe journey and a wish coming true. Melia - I feel you were wanting our sailors safe. With your husband's work - you must hear some of the negative things that have happened to sailors and if only someone had not shared some words - those sailors would not have been harmed. And truely - I don't care WHO created this website - it's been a need. I can only state it for myslef - it's been an answered need. Princess, I heard not only your joy about your son, but I heard and felt your relief of his SAFE arrivial. Melia, I heard and felt your joy for Princess, but still trying to be an extra pair of arms of protection. I believe you both just didn't hear each others concerns. I wish for you all to have a good day. I am trying - received a phone call from relative in Mexico - not good. Realtive - so far - not sick, but all news is not being reported. And for those of you who just thanks to the creator for my relative being ok - thank you. Take a breath - my healing energy from the greatest Love surround all of you like a warm blanket of hugs. Terry

The Fleet and Family Service Center is massively helpful to new arrivals, she shouldn't hesitate to use their services.

MWR rocks too.

I'd love to see the Blue Street in Yokosuka, it didn't exist when I was there. I wonder if is behind the big Saikaya department store? I did find the tourist maps you can get on base:

Spotting Mt. Fuji from anywhere near Yokosuka is difficult, but perhaps if she gets down to Kamakura she can catch a glimpse of it.

Yes, encourage them to get out there! The sailors who hate Japan are the ones who hang out on base and complain. I saw that a lot while I was there.

Mt.Fuji was a blast, there's a two month climbing season in summer when the trial is open to climbers. It is grueling, but not too bad IF you are in shape. I was not. I went twice, although I didn't make it to the summit myself. I got sick on the way up the trail and couldn't force my muscles to move anymore. My Fuji hiking stick did go to the top with hubby. Take plenty of loose change in yen to get the burned on station stamps. I had an awful time, but I wouldn't skip it! Great experience.

English that doesn't make sense? That's "Engrish". There's software that takes an idea or concept and translates it into English. However, no one is checking for grammar, the results are odd. I used to have a sweatshirt that said, "Let's sports naked all day long!"
