Anyway, If you live withing a comfortable driving distance let me know. I could use some help in helping these guys and gals get home for Christmas

Hi Denise, Don't know if this helps but here's some advice from another Navy man. He needs to go see his Command Master Chief and let him know what is going on. The Command Master Chief can designate him as a Geographical Bachelor and then he would be eligible to get a room in the barracks. When they are going through something like this it is good for the command to know so they can help out in any way possible and one way is to get him a designated as a Geographical Bachelor so he can get a place to stay.

Ya, Chris I know you have a smile on your face!
Thank Heavens for email, I know I feel so much better knowing I can send a good night and be safe wish with mine. He not much for words.
Can you email each other at all?
The Ombudsman on facebook gives out good information about the ship and crew.
How often can he get care packages? Mine is about 25 days, air wing apparently take longer I hear.
I am sure there must be many differences in deployment between the ships.
May God bless and Keep our men and women safe!

Hi Chris,
How are you doing? I know when my son left for deployment ( first time too) it was a quiet time until we were able to get emails. Best of all we received a call on Christmas day! His voice was so sweet to hear. His deployment is also in the early months, but I think the excitement of ports of call make the deployment easier. He's and ATO on a destroyer.
