Hi DonnaEricsMom-
With the ship being home your son should have his own mailing address on base. The only base mine lived on was when he was at Nuke school in SC, before the Truman, and I'm pretty sure he had a PO box on base. He should be receiving other mail, I'd guess, so if he doesn't he should find out his proper mailing address. I'm sure someone else may know more about Naval base mail details. I'm sure he'll get it sorted out soon but may need your prompting mom!
I'm sure this question has been ask before, but I can't seem to find it. I've asked my son, who's on the Truman, what address I can send mail. He has know idea, I think, even where to begin. Can anyone help me?
Does he have an on board mailing address? He's single and lives on base right now, so would his mail be address to that address?
Or where he would find out this information?
Hi!
I talked with mine yesterday and he said some street flooding at intersections but all good otherwise.
Thanks BoomMom! What a relief! I don't know when to check in with mine because of the odd hours he is working!
I am IN Virginia Beach and all is fine here... A bit windy and rainy but nothing substantial. Able to drive to the store, etc.
Saw some pics on FB of the Friends & Family Cruise from Sunday. Looks like a good time was had by all - and saw at the end there was a little problem with the weather & getting the ship back in - yikes!
My son started college yesterday - so now on to the next journey for him. He called and said it went well - chemistry & calculus for his first day lol!
Hope everyone is doing well.....
Hello Truman family!
Dorie you're reminding me that I've got to see the movie, I've heard nothing but great things about it. Glad to find you here! ha ha.
My sailor my son-awww I know how you feel about now, we all do. All is well, you'll hear from your sailor soon and little by little you'll get to know the ropes. This is the place to be, lots of wonderful moms. I was surprised they're underway this quick. Actually I believe maintenance will be happening too, could be en route. Glad to hear of nice reunions with sailors home.
