Hi Trish, if you go to Molly's adopt a sailor group, I have discussion called "heads at ease" pillowcase project. also, in the Ta-dum discussion, there are pictures posted of the 129 that were mailed in June.
Basically, my crew and I make patrtiotic pillowcases and mail them to deployed military-mostly sailors, but we have included Army, Air Force and Marines. to date, we have done 569 since mid Jan and today we are mailing 61 to Marines.
If you want to pm your email address, I can forward the "heads" letter and pictures. plus thank you notes.
My logo picture is from the January mailing-that was 49.

Hi all, I just got off the phone with Melissa another AZ mom who encouraged me to join and tell you all that I need some help.

My son is a sailor at Oceana. He lives off base in a 3 bedroom townhome. He has 3 roommates, one being female. He would like the female to move out (she isn't a sailor) cause it has become a stressful situation.
She is enrolled in ODU, and can move into a dorm in mid August I believe. She has 2 jobs and a car.
BUT she needs some temporary housing. Can anyone point me somewhere to
help this young lady find a room to rent etc?
Melissa said to tell you that she has met her and she is delightful. I haven't met her yet, but email with her alot.
Please put a message on my page if you can help in anyway. And I'll make your sailor a special pillowcase. THANKS!

Hi all,

I just thought I'd let you all know how our weekend went with our adopted sons and daughters.

(Saturday June 20, 2009)

We had a great evening with Savannah (Navy Wife), Brandon (NAS Oceana), Erene, and Trever (USS Gunston Hall). We ate hamburgers, chips, and cream cheese brownies and ice cream. We played RISK (haven't played that in a long time)! Then we closed with sharing prayer requests and taking turns praying for them. We all had FUN! Check out the new pictures on our profile page slide show.

Had a great Father's Day! Yvonne was up at 5:45 a.m. making cheesecake and homemade bread dinner today to be celebrated with Sarah (daughter) and Brian (son-in-law), Trevor (USS Gunston Hall), Branden (NAS Oceana) and Savannah (Navy Wife), and Erene (civilian). Sarah and Brian got me a tripod for my camera (that's why I'm in this group photo). We watched "Time Changers" while Yvonne finished fixing dinner. A good Christian movie! Interested in time travel? Dinner included a pork loin roast, peas, and rice, that were great! But then came the cheese cake for dessert! MMMmmmmm! Need I say more?

Saturday evening we ate hot dogs and drank root beer floats, then we played Attack Uno! with Savanah and Brandon (NAS Oceana) and Trever (USS Gunston Hall)! Savanah won the game! Then we went into the living room and just talked and visited. Then we shared prayer requests and prayed together. We were really surprised too! We got a telephone call from a former sailor, Sean, who we had not heard from in two years. That was a real treat! We are now friends on Facebook.

Great Sunday! Enjoyed Sunday School and the Morning Worship service at Azalea Garden Church. Pastor Vicker's sermon was was good, not an easy one to hear, but good. God doesn't always say yes when we pray. Sometimes He says no. I do love our altar services where we can pray and minister to each other after the service!

After church it was on to our house for dinner and fellowship. Trever (USS Gunston Hall) got called back in to work, but Savannah and Brandon (NAS Oceana) came over, and we also invited Erene, Bill, Julie, and Brantley from the Young Adult Group. So we had a really nice group. My daughter Sarah stopped by for a while too.

Hi Cindy!
Is your son stationed on a ship or on shore duty? My son's been about a year and a half now. What's his rate?

Sherri:
Many of us have posted about Tiger Cruises on this site. You may want to do a search (in the far upper right hand corner, just type in Tiger Cruise, and all the discussions will come up).
Each Tiger Cruise is different. Some are on Carriers from Hawaii to San Diego. Some are day cruises and some are for a few nights. The ombudsman or FRG President will send out all the info you need. I did a Google search and found a great article with tons of info, I believe it was a military website. First find out where you get on the ship and how long the cruise is. I know the Cole is stationed in Norfolk, it's the sister ship to my son's ship, the USS Ramage. Some of the Norfolk Tiger Cruises start with you getting on in Florida or Rhode Island.
