The few webcams in San Diego are not for the Naval Base or other military structures.....There are several cameras that give views of the different facilities around the Harbor area.
When a ship comes and goes from there, or from Norfolk or other places, military cameras will many times show it coming and going...in a very restricted view.
What a ship is doing, where it's berthed, when it leaves and returns is a closely guarded security issue...for obvious reasons.
Once a ship leaves it's berth and goes into the channel, local TV stations are permitted to film it all the way to the exit of the Chesapeake.

B'sNukeMoM my sailor said she doesn't get seasick at all on the ship but you out her in a car on a windy road & she'll be sicker than a dog.
I was so glad to hear her voice today. She always emails me when she can but nothing like her voice...except seeing her in person...but that's not going to happen for awhile.
Hope everyone has a great weekend

Thanks GrandmaBarB - I know they do webcams in San Diego - they just had video/shots of the USS Vinson returning from a 10 month deployment so I was hoping that Norfolk would do the same. Maybe when they return from a deployment rather than just an underway they will.
Have a good weekend all!

My sailor got in touch with me yesterday. He was happy to be back in port but says they are out again on Monday for 3 weeks. Then he has 10 day leave in July.
A Sailor's life is never dull, for sure.
You can find webcams for the passenger facilities down there but not for the Navy. See, they really don't want anyone to know what ships might be in port and where they are....and that is certainly understandable.

Hi all - Happy Friday! Got my RED shirt on ;-)
Got a text from my sailor yesterday when he got off the ship - he was heading to his apt to get a good nights rest, had to be back on the ship today but said he would call Saturday! I'm anxious to find out how soon they will be leaving again....Hope everyone gets to hear from their sailor!
Does anyone know the link to watch ships in Norfolk?

Hi all - Happy Tuesday!
too tall Joan - My sailor was one that was always getting carsick as a little guy too - we couldn't go around the block without him throwing up! That's why I'm anxious to hear how he is handling the rough seas lol! He said no problems on the underway last week though....I hope this one is ok!

Good morning Sunshines! It's wonderful to see some postings here! I hope you and your entire family are doing well! Our Sailor Son called before they left. He talked for a long time! He was so excited to get going! He's AO and had been helping supply. They can only count ordnance so many times I guess
! LOL It's wonderful to hear joy in his voice!

My son missed the first underway while recovering from eye surgery but is in the thick of it now. Haven't heard too much from him, but I have gotten some facebook time the last couple days. As he is in IT, he has his hands on computers that will let him communicate :-) I think he said it was a good bartering tool once deployed. "Can you get this signed for me in exchange for some communication time with your family... or in an airconditioned room." The only one on the ship I think. He hasn't mentioned the weather but has been very busy like all on the ship. The comments from you guys keeps me filled in with what I don't know... so thanks alot.

Talked to son after his first time going out. He said first day was tough but things got better after that. He said the motion actually rocked him to sleep at night. Hoping his doing well second time out.

Welcome to our group faith. I have a daughter that AO.
B'sNukemom I've heard from daughter almost everyday. She said about have a bad cold & most on the ship have been sick but she is finally feeling better because when she was home last she got some cold meds. She has said nothing about the storms. Funny thing is she always got car sick growing up. We went on a cruise several years ago & she got seasick on the cruise. Since joining the Navy she hasn't been seasick once.
6 more days of school left for me, then schools out for summer!!
