Can someone share the FRG info again so I can send it to my sailor again. Hopefully being persistent will lead to finally being put on the list.
I should know this, but what does FRG stand for?
He said he did but I haven’t received any letter from them stating it. I read they send a welcome letter or something. I have my shirt all ready for tomorrow and my patriotic leggings!
Kids are allowed to be at homecoming. Did your brother put you on the FRG mailing list? That's where you'll get a lot of good info - including a monthly newsletter from the ship. And as it gets closer to homecoming you'll get updates.
Don't forget to wear your RED tomorrow!
So the sailors who have the first session can leave that day back home? And the second group that stay so they have some time with family for a few hours before they have to be back ? I’m just trying to get an idea, I wonder how far in advance sailors find out especially if they get to come home after they need to make flight arrangements and such. Also for the homecoming are kids allowed to be there? I know I have a lot of questions lol
