Great to see there's communication! Like you said Jo 4 Bama - you take what you can get ;-D
Kristy - the leave is called POM leave and it's a month but they split it up into two leave sessions of 2 weeks each. Some will get the first leave and some the 2nd as they have to keep the ship manned 24/7.

im Happy to say that I have received a few emails from m y sailor. I was able to mail him to packages today hopefully he gets them soon since his birthday coming up.
I have a question for members who have gone through this already.. what was your experience like when your sailors “came home”. We’re you able to stay a few hours with them once they came off the ship? We’re you able to take them back home for a week or two ? Etc.

Hey guys! I’m gotten a couple of emails from my sailor. Love getting them. No phone call yet but taking what I get. Have sent first care package- learning how to fill out international shipping forms. Got my red T-shirt ready for Friday. Has anyone used Amazon to send things to their sailor? Thanks for all the great info shared. Jo4Bama

Hi all - Happy Thursday!
How's everyone doing? Sending & receiving emails? Getting your care packages out? Counting down the days? One day closer......

Happy May!

HI all - Happy Monday!
RedsMom - I don't know where you can buy the pendent :( It's just something cute I saw when I googled "One Day Closer" during the last deployment and I had saved the picture. I might suggest looking on Etsy or Ebay though.
too tall Joan - glad to hear your daughter is doing well! I'm sure that was a weird feeling boarding as a civilian! Mine is finishing up his associates degree in Mechanical Engineering Tech (next week!) and then is moving to MI where his GF (who was also a Navy Nuke) lives. He's still back and forth on whether or not he's going to continue college or start working....depends on what he can find.
Yay for facetime! I hope everyone is starting to get a little more communication now and everyone is settling in. Hang in there......one day closer.

HI ladies, it's been awhile since I've posted. My daughter is out of the Navy (after the last deployment), but secured a government job at the shipyard & working on an aircraft carrier that is being overhauled. When she first went on the ship she said if felt so weird boarding as a civilian.
Ladies you will get through this deployment. This forum will help you keep your sanity, you will watch the world news more than ever, & check your email multiple times per day

Hello Jbird, Redsmon, Jacob94mom. When I look at my ribbon, I feel blessed to have met you. Seems like ages ago now. :)

Jbird and redsmom - I still have my ribbon and the photos we took together. Homecoming is so much more fun then going away!
Greta shirt Kristy! I ordered the Truman support crew shirt from the FRG. I had it on Friday.
I got a call and even FaceTimed my sailor yesterday. It was great and he was so excited to be able to call and text. Which was good. He still seems to be enjoying things. Last time he had a hard time.
Finally getting some nice weather here! Heading out to enjoy some sunshine.
