I have a question. My son is headed to Guam next week. I was wondering what phone service is like there. He has verizon. Anyone know if he will have service there?
Thank you so much!
I hope they have a safe journey home too, we talked to our son last night
My son just text me and told me they were headed back to Guam today. He said it would take awhile before they got back to Guam I hope that they have a safe journey.
jmazzsmom and madre37 what rate are your sons? mine is IT
That is funny my son flew from Guam to Portland too, I am glad the ship finally left Oregon!!!! Now for a safe journey!
jmazzsmom....my son did the same thing. He is excited about porting in Pearl Harbor! I am also glad he is getting to have this experience :0)
my son flew to portland and was there for couple weeks before ship went out to sea... so glad he's doing a little traveling and got to go on the USS Frank Cable finally.
They are due to be back after June but before the summer ends. Dates keep getting bumped. Since you son is assigned to the cable they will probably have him check in and then put him "TDY" to the ESL that is what they did to all of the people who staid behind.
Anyone know the latest scoop on the
Frank Cable? When is it suppose to be back in
GUAM. My son will be going to GUAM in June
assigned to the Frank Cable and I just wondered
what the latest update was on the ship?
