Kimbas do you know what ship he will be on? My husband says they have very little room so he has mostly clothes and his uniforms, his ship will leave soon. but he said to send him candy, snacks, and little stuff to pass time and whatnot. My hubby works out a lot so he got an iPod but tell him to be super careful on the ship. There is a stealing epidemic. lol the sailors say there is only one thief in the navy everyone else is tryin to get their stuff back. Its a vicious circle. You can find a group for his ship I bet, also I am probably going to send cakes in a jar while he is gone. He said nothing to big is the main thing when I asked what he wanted for the deployment.
