Cool, I listened to Capt.'s message! I had followed DJ's earlier advice re. FRG - thanks, DJ. Since I wasn't sure when my son might get a chance to email FRG to add me, I emailed FRG myself (with a cc. to my son's ship email address.) DJ mentioned they verify the information and will add you to the list, and they did. Impressive, all that FRG and the Truman team do to help keep us connected.

Thanks, Celeste for the purex tip!! Sounds like a great idea, I'll include some in my next care package.

Kiyum, I've got you beat, Josh graduated in June, bootcamp in July and now on HST :) so proud of all the sailors and what they are doing! Haven't heard from him in about a week either (but his fiancee has) oh well, at least we know he's safe and having a great time.

My son had a great time with two buddies and the french cousins who wined and dined them (beer and pizza!) Colin got them all Truman hats and t-shirts. My cousin said he and his buddies looked great and happy and were wonderful to spend time with. Yeah for franco-american visits!

My baby girl called from France and she finially sounded like her good ole self. She states that it is dirty, and not so friendly. But, we must remember that we are guest in their country. Carry on to your destination, where ever it may be.

I'm new here, but let me start by saying thank you to everyone for all the advice and ecouragement. My cousin is a marine on the Truman, and I really miss him. Getting ready to send my first package. I hope he likes it. I sent a card with it saying whatever he doesn't want or like, share and make a friend! I used the suggestions from all of you regarding what to send, and what not to. Things I never would have thought of! I hope they all are having a good time, and return safely.

I talked to my boy today, FINALLY! It was so nice & was medicine for my heart!! He appears to be adjusting well. He's working out everyday and that's always a good sign that he's happy. THANK GOD THAT THEY ARE SAFE!!

Im so happy that I got to see my husband on skype the past 2 days!!! When he saw my pregnant belly he about fell off his chair..I will never forget the smile on his face <3 . Its amazing how fast baby grows in 3 weeks!!! The picture of the ship ported is amazing it took my breath away and made me very jealous :@) My husband took lots of pictures of the amazing buildings there and all the yummy food he got to eat. Of course today when he got on skype he was at the Haagen-Dazs Iceceam shop and had to show off his desert to me... He makes me smile!!! I hope everyone's loved ones had just as much fun as my hubby did. He's got duty tomorrow so the fun is over for him till the next port visit... back to the 6 hours on 5 off 5 on 6 off... Im so proud of how good he is doing and all the hard work he does... Im also VERY proud of how everyone seems to be doing with the deployment!!! We all gotta stay happy and continue living our life's!!! GOD BLESS THE HARRY S TRUMAN in the months to come and GOD bless all of you guys and your loved ones aboard the USS HARRY S TRUMAN~~~ We should all be so PROUD!!!!! :)

lol my wife said the same thing. She said she's just been walking around, and it's really dirty. That's pretty much it. Then she calls me at 2 in the AM, I guess she forgot.
