My son had AT&T and said in SD, & JAX he had to go outside to talk.  Verison works great, and he's heard most Sailors use it.  I was just a bummer to have to pay the cancellation fee!

Kalynn   Good idea about the phone in the window sill.  I'll have to mention that to him.

The barracks on base are made of some sort of material that makes it impossible to use any service phone. When my husband was there he would leave it in the window sill and then used a blue tooth so he could walk around still.  I live in base housing on NAS and I can receive calls and text fine but I have to go outside maintain my call.

Well thank goodness it isn't just T-Mobile out there in NAS Jacksonville that is terrible!  Seems to be all services since all seemed to be mentioned.  LOL.

Sailormom: My daughter is just starting her Navy career, still E1, w/graduation from Basic in Nov. finished Pensacola in Dec. and arrived in Jacksonville on 12/30/10. 

But the 10 days she was home... definite change in perspective on life and goals!  And she, as well as her father and I, are anticipating the many fun and exciting Navy ancedotes that are bound to happen as time goes on.

Phone service is bad we have ATT also.  Like sandra said texting is fine most of the time but talking is another story.  We have to text him and tell him to call us. Has to go outside to call..

Thanks for the welcome!! :-)))

Diana my son was in Pensacola also. Graduated Dec. 2nd. and came home for 2 weeks.  It was so good to see him and catch up on all what he did and a lot of funny stories.  While home he bought a car (MUSTANG) said his truck got terrible gas mileage on his way home from Pensacola. Ha Ha  Like a Mustang is going to get better gas milelageLOL    

I'm sure this week will be a 100 times better for him.  I just felt so bad at Christmas he ate breakfast out of a vending machine and for lunch he had popcorn and soda so you know where he was and for super ate at the I Hop. Nobody on base to cook for!!   I couldn't believe that!!!  No meal for the sailors that were their... But Curtis said really I had no one to talk too!!

Well a friendly hello to all fellow NAS Jacksonville moms/parents/significant others.  Was SO happy I signed on and joined this group, only to see CKmom's comment. PERFECT timing.  I have spent the ENTIRE weekend listening to my daughter cry, complain, "God how I hope this place gets better" .  She came from Pensacola, which was small in comparison of course but there was ALWAYS activitity going on there.  She arrived on the 30th so it was even worse than 12/18!  She said she walked to Redbox, yes that is ALL she did all weekend, and seen a total of 5 people.  Please folks, tell me that this base that she will call home until The Navy tells her otherwise, is full of friendly folks like Pensacola!  I told her if doesn't get better just get online and take some college credit courses.. LOL  Looking forward to catching up on all the posts here and Happy New Year to all of you.

My son has been @ Jacks since Dec.18 and he was very lonely no one to talk to. Everyone was home for the holidays.  He was home for the first 2 weeks of Dec., that is how it work out for him.

He said it's getting better more people are starting to show up. He went to the mall a lot and watch all the movies possible.lol

I worry a lot!!!!!!!!! also I really think it's a mom thing lol

Hi  Don't know if I'm at the right group.  My son is at Jacks waiting to start C school.  He is an AS going to school for Mobile Electrician Power Generaters.

This was in my weekly USO e-mail, I think MWR has a van that picks them up though.  They do this during the holidays to help the single sailors get to their hometowns to see family!  Call ahead and hopefully they can have someone there ready for him!

 

FREE SHUTTLES TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT

Starting 1 December the NAS JAX Liberty Center will have a free shuttle service to and from the airport for the single sailors on the base. Please call 542-1335 to set up a time or for more information.
