I have heard from a lot of the communication on the Navy for Mom's site discussing how cold it is in the sleeping areas on the ships-are they allowed to have blankets from home? Are they allowed to…Continue

Ken- I know my husband is feeling much better post liberty ;) (although he still mentions the "d" word... I think more for my sake than his thought ;) ). And Your_Anz I've been crazy busy with finals (just took my surgery and anesthesia ones... have six classes done, three more to go!) so I haven't been on here much! How have you been doing?? Has your husband been able to get more pictures to you? :)

It's amazing what a little liberty can do . . . my son hasn't mentioned "December" in a week! ;-)

Great Pictures! :) For those of you whose sailor's don't know- they can all access the released pictures by logging onto the shared drive. I know my husband sends me a lot of pictures but they're usually just of the ship and him and our friends- they take a LOT of pictures out there and my husband typically won't send me an individual picture of someone unless we know them. The public affairs officer does try to email the pictures to anyone that's in them as they get released but it's not her primary job to be PAO so she can't always get it done! Good to see our guys doing well :)

You are so welcome. I know what it means to mean to see my son. I'll add pictures to the album when I receive them. I also posted the link to the Facebook USS Anzio page.

I've heard of the program, but don't know any details. From the Anzio's Family site contact the ombudsman for more information. http://www.anzio.navy.mil/ Sign up for access to the family site, if you haven't already.

:) I know last deployment my hubby was able to call more when they were in port on his duty days... there was less people waiting for the phones! Deployment phone calls are the best :) I hope you get a phone call soon!

Your_Anz- glad you got to hear from your hubby!! :) Several of my hubby's roommates are VBSS guys... it seems like they were always in school for it and now always doing drills! My husband was supposed to do it but the CO decided his primary jobs were keeping him too busy for it. I wasn't really that disappointed- he has more than enough collateral duties to keep him busy as is! :) (he also wasn't thrilled with the idea so he was more than fine with letting someone else do it, haha!)

ncmadocent- how wonderful that you keep up on your son in law :) My mom (MIL to my hubby) does the same. I know they appreciate it! (He usually doesn't call her though... he called her once and she was like what are you doing! Call your wife instead of me! Although she did appreciate it, haha. He calls for birthdays and mother's day when he misses them. I have a wonderful mother and husband!). My husband promised that as they release pictures, he'll send more to me to share :) Hooray to all of us for getting two weeks down! :) Here's a few more pictures that the ship released, along with their captions/descriptions!:

Son_In the Navy, I received your email. I have not seen any here on this site however.
I also want to thank Navy Princess and Your Anz for the pictures. I check many of the same sites. My daughter sometimes has said that I am better at checking those sites than she does. But she gets phone calls on occasion from her husband, but as a mother-in-law I generally don't, so I check web sites instead! Although I think of the three deployments he's been on since they've been married I have received three phone calls. He's a good son-in-law.
