Hiya.just got an email regarding someones son arriving tomorrow..IF you are on Facebook I recommend liking their pages . One is https://www.facebook.com/gridley101
Other is their 'USS Gridley Ombudsmen' page and their 'Gridley Readiness Group'..just search for the terms and like so you can keep informed ...actually just remembering the Ombudsmen page cant be friends with until your son notifies ships admin dept of you...I remember bugging my son to let the ship know so I could get on FB page !
Anyway just trying to help..welcome aboard :)
