One of my close friend's husband's is a radioman on the boat and so between her, my husband's, and my other friend who's husband is a cook, we can all piece together what's going on, lol. Feel free to email me anytime, I definitely don't mind helping out.

Really appreciate your comments... My husband works in Radio (ET) so I usually get at least one everyday... But i dont care about the emails as much as i do knowing that they're ok... Yes... I can not wait so that I can stop pulling my hair out. Im going to go gray at the age of 24. :) Thanks so much again...

Did you get an undeliverable message or just haven't gotten the comsubpac? If you just haven't gotten the comsubpac, it just means that they're slower reading through all of the emails. As for your friend, the boat is INCREDIBLY busy and they had some stuff going on over the weekend (I'm not sure if I can write what so I'll leave it at that - nothing bad, though!) so he BF may not have gotten a chance to write. I usually only get one email a week from my husband. Especially on this underway, things are especially busy and stressful for everyone. Just hang in there!! It's not much longer!

Thanks sooo much.. I can sleep easier.... Im truly a worry wart and it doesnt take much... Maybe is it my computer then?? I usually get a compacsub sailor message saying my message was delivered to the boat and i havent received those for the last 4 messages i sent out... Also a friend of mine whos boyfriend is on the boat says she hasnt heard from her boyfriend since Saturday...

Emails are still going through and everyone's fine. I know they are very busy right now but there has not been a stop on communications.
This is the USS Chicago, SSN 721 out of Pearl Harbor moving to Guam.

Hi, My husband is apart of the USS Key West but traveling with USS Chicago for their homeport move to Guam. We've been emailing back and forth but all of a sudden two days ago my emails stopped going through and I stopped receiving emails from him. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. I am very worried and just want to know that hes ok.
