I live in Carmel. If any of you moms are close, let's get together! My son lives on the ship and is coming home for a couple days next week for some business he needs to tend to.
Annie, have you heard anything yet? It takes a while to hear anything. They are so busy!

Annie, that's bachelor enlisted qtrs. My son says most new guys live on the ship till they either find or are assigned barracks space off ship --no one wants to live 24/7 where they work! too available! There are pretty nice high rise on the other side of Harbor Dr. (called the dryside of the base) where many live. If we are w/in driving dist. we could get tog. and talk. Are you in central Indiana?

Excuse me if I sound dumb, but new to this. What is BEQ mean? My son was wondering if there was going to be good rack space. My son being a SA, he said he hoped that he could remember evereything he was taught a A school. They threw so much at them in a short period of time. Haven't heard from him yet since reporting, so hope everything is going well.

Moms, if your sons/daughters have BEQ off the ship, it's better to send mail there. If the ship's on deployment sailors have a FPO box and they'll get mail.
aatimom, we're in Anderson. You?
Annie, my son is a STG2 (sonar tech) and the rack space is better on a distroyer than on a sub! CP's work REALLY hard in the galley; a job that probably gets more criticism than praise.

We are from Colorado. Native. I really do not like it here in the winter. I hate cold, snow, and never do ski. Wish I could live in warm San Diego. I have a daughter that lives in San Jose and she hates it there. She was stationed in San Diego also and she loved it! What does your sailors do on the Stockdale? I am sure they have really tight, small racks? Is the galley food good? I have so many questions. lol...

It took us a few weeks to get an address and I've been very disappointed with their mail delivery. Some letters and packages get to him and some don't. Your son should be getting an email address sooner than anything. What state are you all from ? We are from Indiana.

aatlmom - thank you for that info. I was wondering what he will be doing. How soon do they get to call home after reporting to ship so I can get his address?

I heard from my sailor and he said they will go out on March 12th on the weekdays and will return on the weekends til the end of April. Our son loves SD!

Thank you for your insite. He just got there Monday after driving from Denver. He did very well by himself! He told me they will be going out as soon as he gets there for two days..I guess I will have to wait till he has the time to call again on what they are doing. He loves it there, and he is anxious to start his journey. I like this site to be able to connect with mothers that have sons and daughters on the same ship. It makes me understand more, connect, and seem to release tension better. I look forward to seeing other posts. I hope we all can continue more. Thanks!
