DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

I wonder what they will be doing for the 4th.  Do you think they'll get to watch fireworks?  I'm hoping so.  This will be my first 4th of July without my son.  Missing him like crazy.  I just can't get him off my mind.  I love him so much!

Feeling the same wondering what they are doing. This also is our first 4th without our daughter and like you I can't get her off my mind.

I was told between 3 and 4 weeks we would get a phone call and it could be up to an hour.

My first 4th away from my son too. His favorite holiday... such a piro! I hope they get to watch firworks over the Great Lakes. I don't think my son would talk to me for an hour I think he'll want to call some friends too. If they have that kind of time on the phone.

Mine either.  He had 5 minutes and called 4 of us...

Someone on another page said they would get a holiday liberty for the 4th...similar to their Sunday. I believe it's free time from 7a-12n. I believe I saw that on the RTC fb page. I hope they can see the fireworks that night. How sad to be able to hear them popping all around but not be able to see them. We are under a burn ban so we don't get to enjoy fireworks this year either. :(

I also read that they get so many minutes for their phone call and can call as many people as they want in that time limit. If my SR is going to get and hour...I better get him another phone card. He will talk to me for 5 minutes and then call the gf for 55 minutes!

I cant wait for the call...I wrote my son today and just about begged him to call even though I know he has no control over being able to,I just really want to hear his voice even though I will probably cry the entire time.
