I'm so excited that our loved ones will be home soon. If you are unable to meet the ship in SD there is a webcam www.sundiegolive.com which shows harbor traffic from Point Loma and Coronado. They usually zoom in on Naval ships. It's the next best thing to being there.
My son is also deployed on the USS Pinckney. This is his second deployment on this boat. We are so very proud of him and all of the men and women aboard the Pinckney! Making world news and doing tough work. Stay strong!
Looks like USS Pinkney has not had any new members or discussions in quite soom time, Looking for family members that have sailors here.
I am watching the an Diego webcam.. http://www.sundiegolive.com/. I watched a ship come through about an hour ago. Waiting on the Pinckney now. It should come in from the right any time now.
Hello moms,
If you ever get the opportunity please watch Carrier, season 1 and 2. It gave me a better insight into what our sailors are going through on the ship.
Thanks, Clockard!
This is my son's first deployment, too. He's loving all the places they have been and things they are doing. He is looking forward to getting back to SD, though, since he only moved there six weeks before deploying. He's a country boy and has never lived in the city.
I just saw the deleted comments in my email. I don't have a "god" image of myself..lol. I just feel better private messaging to others any info that I'm not sure should be public or not. This is my son's 1st deployment so I didn't want to do something wrong. We're all in the same "boat"...we're there for our sailors and each other!
OK, I feel so much better now! Thank you soooo much!!! <3
