Alaskan Mom
My daughter is also a LT, she was trying to explain it all to my husband and I. I asked could a cargo ship turn its course within 25 minutes, which this one did and you not know its heading for you. She said there wasn't enough time for this to happen. The radar dosent show a this turning. It shows movement but might have been to close. Our SWOS hold the life's of everyone on the ship. I pray for the OD and the parents of the OD that night, and all of crew that was on board.

GalleyMom: Good advice from the Ombudsman. Thanks for posting. There are always scumbags out there who make money off of people's generosity after a tragedy.

Moms: Lets all keep the crew of the USS Fitzgerald in our hearts and prayers, especially the families of the seven sailors who were killed, and the injured including the Commanding Officer, because of the tragic collision over the weekend. If you didn't hear what happened, google "USS Fitzgerald." I talked to my son who is stationed at Yokota, which is about 45 miles from Yokosuka, the home port of the Fitzgerald, and he said the entire US Navy community in Japan is understandably upset. Such a tragedy. My heart goes out to the families.

Helomom: Congrats to your son! My son is working on his Master's degree. He is in Intel, and he considered getting his master's in Homeland Security, but instead is working on a degree in International Relations. Before he went to Japan, he spent a semester studying East Asian Studies at the Navy Post-Graduate School in beautiful Monterey, CA. (Tough duty assignment, but he did it in service to his country, of course!) haha

Hi M's mom - He just finished his extended command tour in March and should make 0-6 during this current set of orders. He's on a desk now at CNAF making use of that Masters in National Security and Strategic Studies. We were at the base for the deactivation ceremony of the squadron at the end of his command. It was really moving.

Helomom: Your son should be getting close to being a REAL Captain by now, if not one already! Is he still flying, or just "piloting a desk" now, as they say? I know it is somewhat of a disappointment to some pilots to be promoted to a command position and not get to fly anymore.

M's mom - In 2001 when our son was an 0-3 (Lieutenant) and in flight school he was always assigned a Marine Corp 0-3 instructor during Primary. It was intended to psych him out when he had to call his instructor Captain. They thought it was pretty funny.
