kdshow: From when I went before I am pretty sure that would not be allowed. They do have a new Mom/Baby tent set up with snack food and drinks and a bigger tent with activities for the kids. You could always ask if you could please sit in one of those and I am sure they will let you....

Thank you. I forgot all about the FRG. My mind is in anxiety mode. :)

kdshow - no large coolers are allowed but small lunch boxes/soft coolers are ok. It doesn't specifically say anything about small tents but it does say "sunscreen, umbrellas or anything else needed for weather" is permitted. Hopefully someone here with more knowledge can help. Otherwise I would suggest contacting the FRG and asking them.....

I know there are strict rules and regulations upon entering the base, pier, etc. Because my Sailor hasn't added me to the newsletter thingy, I was wondering if this tent would be allowed. It is very small. I have suffer from migraines and seizures...that the sun sometimes causes. I just want enough time to prepare for the "maybe's". Thank you for all the information you have provided me being a first time homecoming mom.

Texted with my sailor this morning, and I asked him if he's having a great time, and he said..."ya, great time...I have stories that will make your hair turn white!" Now, that's what a mother wants to hear! LOL!!!

Navymom2,
We will definitely pray for all moms(and dads) to get here safely and the ship too! We sure hope when everything settles down and all the sailors come back from their time home, that we will get to meet some of them and invite them into our home on the weekends.:)
