tatmom4rc - Where can I find the link for the photos? My son sent me some photos of scenic things, but I would like to see more. I have read about the ombudsman, but not sure really what that person is besides the contact, correct?

There is another link that sometimes items are posted to it via the ombudsman. Like photos when they just went through the Canal and leaving San Diego last week. What does your sailor do on the Barry mtnmom? My son is in sonar but is currently working on a tiger team for a few days.

Welcome mtnmom. My son has been on the Barry for about 2 years. This is a very quiet group. ha

Hi there,
I just joined this group, my son just joined the Barry last week. He was on the Lassen. Just dropping by to say hi.
-
-
sorry for the delay in answering, but the underway is not scheduled until the beginning of the week.
-
-
Does anyone know if the Barry is underway right now?
-
-
yes I do. My son. You are correct. there isn't anything special when they come and go for drills or system tests and things. I just wish that I had gone to see him when he came back from his first deployment. Based on the Barry getting a new home port see http://www.stripes.com/2-ballistic-missile-defense-equipped-ships-m.... I may not get a chance.

tatmom4rc- Since this is my sons first time out, I am not sure. But I am going to guess that it is not treated like anything special. Do you have a son or daughter on the ship?

Sorry Huffy Mom I don't have any advice, but perhaps you can help me. You probably know the Barry is due back soon and I was wondering when they are out at sea and they aren't deployed to a combat zone do they still go through all the steps of an incoming ship with them standing along the sides, family on the pier, etc. or is it more low key? I want to visit at one of their return times but would like it to be similar to the stories that I've read about their coming home to family scenarios. I hope this makes sense.

Our son was asked a few months back to be part of a burial at sea while they are out. I feel really proud of him for being asked this. I have a few uncles who were buried at sea and at least one of my brothers wants to be buried at sea. I really hope we can at least get some kind of picture of him during this ceremony. Does anyone know if they do a video or take pictures that family can have of the sailors? I know the family of the person being buried most likely gets something, but I wasn't sure if that would be available to other people.
