Hi everyone, my sailor recently came to Jax. He is adjusting to his new Navy life and so are we. We are outside of . Happy to join this group.
HI Mary, I kept meaning to tell you mine is at JAX but never had the chance.
Dunes, my son has always had issues with his cell phone in the barricks. He swttched from AT&T to Verison for that reason.
He called on Sunday and was really excited about finding an apartment off base. Not for sure yet, but hoping for him. (He didn't say anything about flooding).
@Dunesmom my daughter is on the first floor and there was water about a foot into the hall but she said it had receeded by morning. As far as the phone issues we always have them. We have AT&T and my daughter was told that Sprint actually has towers on base so I guess it depends on your carrier. If you don't hear from him I wonder if you could contact his squadron to see if they have an Ombudsman that could help you. Good luck.
Dunesmom we have not had any issues with our cell phones. I know in soe areas of the base there is not good service. I don't know if the barracks flooded. My son lives off base and has not said that he heard anything. Sorry about that. Our water is all gone now but some areas by some creeks and rivers are above flood stage. But none near or on the base.
Good Morning! How are you all? For those that live in Jacksonville, could you tell me if the cell phone towers are out or if the first floor of the barracks have flooded? I have not been able to get ahold of my Sailor for quite some time. He was having a bit of a tough time last i talked to him. Hope all is well with Everyone:)
welcome velvetlace. My oldest sailor is stationed her at NAS JAX and we also live just outside Jacksonville. My middle sailor however is in Japan so I know how you feel about missing them. We have only lived near the oldest for the last 1 1/2 yr.
My dad lives in Ukiah, my Aunt in Chico and other family in San Jose and Modesto. I lived in the Ukiah area when I was little. If your sailor needs anything let me know.
Hello-
I am new to this particular blog. Mhy cub is a corpsman at JAX Naval Hospital. We live in Northern California, so we have not seen him for almost a year. We miss him so much!
Mary
