Hello Paigshleyship. I have probably read the same as you. My son is on the same ship. The Navy will not put them in harms way. Don't panic. Stay strong and encouraging. They can not tell us where they are going nor can we talk about it on the website. You will hear the saying loose lips sink ships frequently. They don't want to let anyone know there destination in case they are headed for a conflicted area. My son is on his second deployment with the Peleliu. Yes it is hard and very sad at first and it seems like time goes buy soooooooo slow. My suggestion is get a package in the mail today! it takes a while for the packages to get to the ship. Send pictures of you, the animals and family members. I went to San Diego to help move my son's items back to Colorado so he didn't have to do the storage thing. When doing so, I found a box of things I had sent to him on the last deployment. It made me smile when I saw that the little things I did for him such as pictures and newsletter articles meant so much to him. I am sure she has an email address on the ship. Keep in touch with her however don't forget to not talk about where they are. The ship is really good about keeping us updated of what is going on when they want us to know. They have a newsletter that they produce that explains what they have been doing. Hopefully this has helped. Please keep in touch.

Hi I am defiantly new to this group but not new to navyformoms my daughter deployed this morning on the USS Peleliu she did not tell me where she was going but I have read the middle east? Does anyone know? I am beyond freakin out if that's true! I thought getting through boot camp was hard, this is a whole new level of hard! I'm going to miss her so much, I do already!

Hello magaritas. You are doing it right. It may be a situation where the ship has not been deployed for a while. I am sure now that they are gone, this site will get more activity. i have met several great people on this sight. It's a great tool. Is this you son/daughters first deployment? If so, I can help you with some helpful hints. It's a tough time especially when they first leave. I know, I am feeling it. Please keep in touch.

It's been a long time since I posted however welcome to all the new joining Moms. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions. I will try to answer them if I can. The website is a great tool for Moms especially when the ship is deployed. My son has already done one tour on the Peleliu and is so far scheduled to do the next deployment next year.

Welcome Cathi. Congrats on your daughter graduating A school. My son is on the USS Pelelui which is part of the same fleet as the Pearl Harbor. Yes they are all close to home. What a relief. It's been a long 7 months. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Wouldn't that be great to see a picture with our son in it? It's great that they are where they are today. And... coming home soon.
