Comment by Libertythruthem on November 20, 2014 at 9:55am: Hello! My son left for Naples in July. Does anyone have any ideas about what I can send him for Christmas...or places that could deliver him chocolate or something nice? The list of items not allowed to be shipped to Italy is very long. I saw sewn items were not ok to send. I just had a shirt specifically made for him... Am I not able to send it? Also, I was going to send jerky, but I see that I cannot send him smoked or salted meats. He was in basic last Christmas, so it was hard to send him anything. I would really like to send him something this Christmas.

Comment by militarymomx2 on November 2, 2014 at 7:01am: Hi my son just got orders to Naples, can anyone help me with a question: what is the best way to talk to him while he is away. Thanks for your help!!!!!!!

Comment by DaniHMItalyMom on October 4, 2014 at 6:37pm: Libras mom We visited our Corpsman this past April and stayed at the base hotel. It was very nice. You can even shop at the grocery connected to the hotel. Your sailor needs to make the arrangements and cannot do so until 30 days before you arrive. There was plenty of availability so I dont think it will be a problem getting a room. I have lots of info- please feel free to private message me.

Comment by Libra's mom on September 17, 2014 at 2:24pm: Hi!! my son is in Napples since May 2014. We are planning to visit him on spring break 2015. Does anyone know if there is a hotel inside base for the military family when visit their love one? or an affordable clean hotel around U.S. base in Naples?

Comment by Tink on September 3, 2014 at 8:32pm: Has anyone had flowers delivered to their loved ones in Italy? I would like to send my daughter flowers for her birthday. She is at Campania. Thank you.

Comment by Jana on August 5, 2014 at 1:16am: My son just finished 2 years there in April. I think he liked it pretty well. He got lots of opportunity to travel in Europe while he was there--of course he went to places in Italy--Rome, Milan, Florence, etc. but he also went to Romania, Switzerland, England, Amsterdam among other places. This was something that he would not have been able to do if he wasn't in the Navy or stationed in Italy. I think your son will like it. My sister and I had the opportunity to go visit him over Christmas and it was great :)

Comment by Gloria P. on July 5, 2014 at 10:56pm: Our son is home on leave til the 21st so happy to have him home. Boy he has grown up so much. Feeling very happy and excited.

Comment by Gloria P. on June 26, 2014 at 8:29pm: Hi everyone my son has been in Naples since last September doing land duty... after being in Pearl Harbor for 4 years doing sea duty happy to say he will be coming home for a visit in early part of July can't wait to spend some time with him :-)

Comment by Rachel's Mom (Ship 02 Div 929) on February 20, 2014 at 11:52pm: Hi Everyone...Rachel went from Naples to Lemoore. Lemoore is located in the Central Valley of California. It's great to have her so close to home. She put in for The Nurse Corps Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program (MECP) while she was still in Naples. She found out yesterday she was selected! We are so proud of her!! Looks like she has the next ten years to look forward to. This will be another new adventure for us.
Hope you are all doing well and surviving the harsh winter. We pray for rain here.
