YEAH, Those are great photos. Paul has said if I can make it out when they come back from the quick trip soon he will show me around. These Sailors sure do have a great deal of pride for their ship. He said he's got sliding down the rails between decks DOWN but not going thru the bulk heads...he has a bug bump on his forehead....nice. He is adapting to ship life and just wants mail.
Thank you again for the picts.

Learning to go up and down those ladders must be a class in itself, I got a big bummer and Melissa actually cut her head. I suspect a sailor only makes that mistake once!

Mary, are you going to take your pics off your camera?

Hi, my name is Pam and i have a son on the USS Truman, been there only 4.5 months. He tried the sliding down the ladders only once and that was enough for him. Shortly after he found out that he is going to be an uncle for the first time and the second day it hit him and he missed the last two steps on the ladder he was going down. He has had some rough times on the ladders. Cant wait till i get a phone call from him, hope it will be soon, he always calls home as much as he can. Any info about finding a spot on the ship for good reception on the phones? that is a bummer, it keeps losing reception.

We would like to go out next spring and would like to get a tour on the ship, who does he get in touch with to arrange it? How do you find out the most accurate information on arrivials? Need to plan on that. Oh, this is Pam, sorry about that. Nice to meet all of you, my son has been on there almost 5 months and is in fire control. He joined 2 years ago on may 1, 2007. He has been in school for almost 18 months before joining his ship. He loves it.

Great pics, Melissa. We went to Norfolk in early April and my son gave us a tour also. What an amazing ship. I can't get over all the ladders and narrow passages. I found it easier to go up the ladders than down. And you're right, all the Truman sailors are just so great. We all have a right to be proud. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, ALL!
