Kelly - my son got to come home too and yep those were two wonderful weeks but way to short!
According to my son and what I've read the GW is scheduled for Virginia. 2015 should be an exciting year! My son doesn't know yet if he'll get to stay with the ship all the way to Virginia but he sure would like to. I'm anxious to find out where the hull swap will take place. I've already told my husband we will be taking vacation next year...I want to see my sailor and the ship!
Hey everyone, I just wanted to stop in and say hello. Haven't been on here in quite awhile. Hope all of you and your sailors are doing well. Anyone's sailor ready to head back out to sea - mine sure is! I'm so fortunate that my son is enjoying the Navy life. Every time he calls he is always so happy - does my heart good!
Take care everyone and Happy Friday to you all!

Tell N4M to change it's format back! I hate this. I don't post often but I do read comments. This format makes that harder.
Congrats to having your Son home Jenny's mom, My Son had the same issue when he went back to great lakes in Jan , his cab wasnt at the airport, took a bus to the train & got off at GL 4 hours later, lol enjoy having him home
My son got home on Monday for his leave. He bought his ticket from United Airlines and it was $1050. We were pleased with the price considering how high the tickets were priced over the holidays. He did end up having to take the train into the Narita airport because something was going on with the bus leaving from base and it was taking a terribly long time to get people to the airport that day. With his limited Japanese and the helpfulness of people he said he had no trouble getting to the airport. Now he is home and having a blast!!
Kimberly P Thanks for the good news :)
