Mary - I'm glad you got a pic of your son. That's so exciting when you realize you are actually looking at your own son and not just another sailor. I cherished a phone call from Hawaii this week. First time we've spoken in months and it was sweet.
Fair weather and following seas to all you tigers! Bring our sailors home to us soon.
Newsletter is out - the address is a little funky - try this one: http://www.public.navy.mil/surfor/cg52/Pages/Newsletter.aspx
I am so looking forward to the day I see my son again!
Teri
Alison- I would love to hear about your tiger experience! Wishing I could be with you and the others when you meet the ship. Have a great time!
Hi there Mary, Cindy, and other Moms, My sailor is writing like he can taste being home already. I have a grocery list and ideas on what he wants to do when he gets back already. We will not be meeting the ship, but he has tickets to fly out shortly after they get back.
I enjoyed the pics from the Carl Vinson on the swim call tremendously.Here is the link to one of Carl vinson's pics: http://www.navy.mil/view_single.asp?id=120117 Can you imagine jumping in 37' above the water! We got one pic of Bunker hill sailors in the water: http://www.navy.mil/view_single.asp?id=117734 Doesn't look like too many went swimming.
They must be on the move again to start the journey home. I wonder what stories they will have to tell about the ports of call and how immense the ocean really is. Safe traveling sailors! Enjoy your ports of call. Teri
The February news letter is out! http://www.public.navy.mil/surfor/cg52/Documents/NL_February2012.pdf
I guess our sailors want to get back to port so much that they can't imagine that we would like to be with them. Get back safely seamen.
My daughter told me it would be like camping in very close quarters and not very good food and that I wouldn't like it. I believe her.
