Hi Sea Salt! I know the mattress topper doesn't have to be approved but not sure about the curtains.
Here's the link for the curtains: http://www.navyrackpacks.com/
Hi all - Happy Wednesday! Here's a good article that was posted in the Navy Times yesterday.
http://www.navytimes.com/story/military/2015/06/09/truman-crew-over...
Hi all! I don't post much but I love reading all your posts! I love this community! Question - my daughter wants a better curtain around her bunk with pockets - are these available to purchase and they must be Navy approved - correct? Also in one of the postings below - you all are talking about a mattress topper? do these have to be Navy approved as well? We are visiting her in July (hopefully) and I want to bring these items with us. Thanks!
Thanks branda - I'll look into this!
B'snukeMom
google Fleet Sheets, they have mattress toppers and sheets for bunks.
Had a nice chat with our sailor on Saturday. He's feeling good about things so I'm happy that he's happy!
He decided that now he does want a mattress topper for his bunk! I'm going to look on Amazon, but if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate any info! I'll be able to ship it directly to his apartment & then he'll have to get it to the ship.
His 26th birthday is 6/19 - his 3rd bday since he's been in the Navy - weird that we haven't seen him for the last 3 bdays. On the other hand the time sure has gone by fast!
BoomMom - I hope you have a nice visit in July! Gosh I'm thinking I should try to plan a trip too or it's gonna be awhile. It's so hard for my hubby to get off work (I on the other hand can take off no problem!). We are going to Mammoth later this month and hubby has to come back home 2 days earlier because of his work schedule....
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
I hope you all are doing well on this Sunday evening. It was great to hear from my son this weekend. I hinted that I knew they would be heading out again soon and he was very frustrated with me. He reminded me of the dangers and importance of not sharing online or on the phone any incoming or outgoing dates for the ships, even with my family. He doesn't tell me anyway for security reasons. He said they are not supposed to. He'll just say "soon." It scared the tar out of me that other sailors had their home addresses, etc. on an ISIS sympathetic website. It's awful easy to chat amongs ourselves but I have to keep reminding myself that it is dangerous to my son and those with kids aboard the Truman if I chat about times, dates, places, etc. I hope everyone had some good contact with your sons/daughers and that you are all doing well. I assume they will be gone again soon, and we look forward to seeing him hopefully sometime in July when we go to visit him. Taking the entire family for the last time before deployment. Looking forward to it. Have a great day...
