Hi Everyone. My son was sent to Everett a few weeks ago. He has been assigned to the USS Shoup.

Hi Amy...thank you for the info.  We are close too, 3.5 hours away so I hope to get to see him lots when his ship is in port.

Hi Tawnie,

My son has been on the Shoup for several years. He just finished his service with the Navy in May! I do remember him telling me that mail can be challenging when they are docked at the base. So you might check on that with him, to make sure that the mail service on the ship is active. Or encourage him to get a office box in Everrett. It's a short bike ride from base. Regardless, your son's Welcome Aboard packet will include his specific mailing address. We live about 5 hours away from the base so I didn't have to mail very often because he'd drive home fairly regularly.

The Shoup also has a great family facebook page"Shoup familyreadinessgroup" and there's the official Shoup page "Official Page of USS Shoup". There's also the official ship site: http://www.public.navy.mil/surfor/ddg86/Pages/Welcome.aspx

Best wishes to you!

Amy

Hello Mom's, my son has been assigned to the USS Shoup.  I know they are not out to sea but how do I get his address so I can send him fun stuff?

Her dad is in Oceanside and I am in phx. I went over several weekends and had lots of fun. Her dad spent time during the week as well as weekends. It was great!!!

Hey joirenee...Congratulations on the engagement of your son! And spyder do you live in the San Diego area because we do too! We too enjoyed the month with my son while the Shoup was here. My husband works downtown and would take him to the base each morning and I would pick him up at night. He spent almost every night with us. My son told me that there was one other sailor with a San Diego connection so that must be you spyder!

Comment by spyder013 on April 22, 2014 at 7:54am
Congrats on the engagement!
All is great on this end...had quite a bit of time with daughter over past several weeks...it was great!
Hoping all is good with everyone.
