Devinsmom, I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
Hi everyone, it's Dorie, It seems like forever now since we went to Norfolk for the homecoming. That must mean time is flying by. I hope everyone is doing well. I do have constant contact with my daughter, which is a real blessing. I also have a son overseas presently and pray everyday he and his troop are safe as well as all our troops serving. I work at Lowe's and see Military come in all the time, I always tell them and anyone in uniform, Thank you for serving our country. Never be afraid to tell them. All I can say is 2018 will be a great year for me because if all goes as planned both of them will be State side and she will come home to California.
It's great to have support from all of you. Life is good!
Devinsmom, I am so very sorry to hear about your dad. I have no further suggestions - the Red Cross and the Ombudsman will hopefully get in touch with him ASAP. Hugs to you and your family.
Devinsmom, I am so sorry for your loss. You can contact the ships Ombudsman. They should contact your son and you right away. I hope this helps.
I'm sorry for your loss, Devinsmom. Wish I could help...
Devinsmom, I'm so sorry for your loss. I've lost my dad and I understand just how tough that is. I have no experience with the Navy on this, but here are my thoughts. Does your son have an apartment? Do you know what shift he works? I imagine/hope they will tell him face-to-face when he reports to work and help him get bereavement leave arranged.
Saw on the news where the Navy (USS John Paul Jones) had a successful test to intercept & destroy a missile with a missile! Wow!
In a different article, I saw where USS Truman is on schedule. The article said if they stay on track, sea trials could begin this summer.
