I have a question I am hoping maybe you can help me out. My son is deployed and I wanted to know what needs to be done for them to be able to call home when they port?

Do I need to do something with the cell provider or should I get him a trac phone and send it to him?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Also trash is a large concern as the ship can only hold so much waste. Keeping it simple and personal is what I sent my Sailor last deployment which he shared with others.

Capstar,

Don't send any alcohol, pornography, girlie magazines, or weapons.

Of course don't send anything that will spoil because the mail can take weeks to make its way to them. Anything that will break or can spill/leak should be avoided unless you take precautions to protect it.

Last deployment my had two of his care packages that we sent ruined by others who sent liquids that broke and leaked all over everyone elses mail. The mail travels by air so you need to remember things will expand and contract as the pressure changes on the flight over.

Thank you Capstar, I know that there is some way to send packages as my Sailor did receive one last deployment from a family. I will continue to research this.

Are there restrictions, or should I say, what are the restrictions as far as what we can send in a care package?  I haven't been able to find any information on that.

Tomorrow I will be wearing my USS George H W Bush Red Shirt. I continue to keep you all in my daily thoughts and prayers and look forward to updates on your journey. I will also be sending care packages for sailors that don't get them from home. Does anyone know if there is a adopt a Sailor program while they are on deployment? My sailor received a package on the last deployment and many items were given to other sailor's as they didn't fit his gender.I thank you in advance for any information. Safe Sea's!

For those who have ordered shirts from me, I am finalizing the order tonight and will have them sent out as soon as printing is complete. Once I finalize the order, no more orders will be added, so this is last call. If you haven't already submitted payment, please do so today. I still need shipping addresses for a few orders also.

Yes, the jersey knit sheets (twin XL) have scored well with our DS. :-D He has requested cookies, also beef jerky, for care package items. Has anyone sent flash drives loaded with movies, podcasts, and such? Figure with limited access, he can still have that type of stuff to watch on his laptop.

Since my son is no longer on the Bush I am still looking for a mom that wants to take over admin duties for this group. Duties include being a positive and supportive voice for the other members of the group and keeping things updated and tidy in here. Need someone that is on regularly and participate to keep the group active. That's it! :)

Let me know if you're interested. Thanks.
