So sad, no phone call or missed call this weekend from my son.(ship13div225).. I'm sure he called the gf but she isn't the family friendly type. But as long as he is happy that's ok with me I will just hold out hope for a letter sometime soon. My oldest son went to the naval academy and one thing I learned from the moms there is the expression. "Semper gumby" it meant always flexible. So did anyone from div225 learn anything about how they are doing as a whole? Any info would be great.

mmaleigh, I am so sorry you and his mom missed his call. I hope he gets a chance to try again or reached another family member. I know it is hard missing that call.
Hi everyone, I made it home from CA where I was visiting my daughter who just finished her 4 years in the Navy. Her husband is still in and based at Coronado. I was there for two weeks and I feel like I went somewhere and explored that state every single day lol. I am so tired and I am dragging myself along. I guess it is jet lag and it will probably take me a few days to get back on east coast time in my mind, It was a great time. I highly recommend The San Diego Animal Safari Park over the zoo and if you go to Holywood you must do one of the tours. I really didn't think it would be that great but it was very interesting. I also liked the Santa Monica Pier and the pier and Seaport Village in San Diego was awesome. I tried to fit it all in just in case I never get to go there again lol.I had so much fun, especially with my daughter and granddaughter. I got to meet some great Navy Moms at the Meet and Greet and got to meet and spend the day with CatMom in Hollywood. We chased stars down Hollywood Blvd for hours, went down Rodeo Drive and toured the Hollywood sign and Beverly Hills. I even had my daughter call to see how much it would be to stay in the Hotel California for one night....$540.00 was more than a little rich for my budget lol. CA has so much to see and do and 2 weeks wasn't nearly enough time. We went to the Light House in San Diego and saw a Navy Sub coming back into port, saw the USS Reagan that is in port in Coronado and bought lunch for some sailors who were eating at restaurant in Seaport Village. It was a great vacation and we had so much fun :) Here is a pic of the statue at Sea Port Village. It is so much bigger than I ever imagined :)

Alice is correct: They are known by last names....many don't even know their shipmates' first names! And, true, please do not post the last names of SRs on this site, but you can private message them to individual friends on this site if you are trying to see if a family members is here.

Lynn: Hmmmm.....if you received friend requests and hit the ACCEPT, their piks should be under your friends section on your personal page. I hope it worked out!

mmaleigh: Sadly, it happens often that calls are missed. Sometimes a person will say their phone never rang, when straight to voicemail and they were alerted by the VoiceMail alert. Just write a few extra letters...and hopefully the next call will come soon!
