I got the news too. Bummed out as well as we planned our daughter's graduation party around when he would be home. That's life in the military.

Vita3 my son and your son are friends..... I think,,, he told me that a guy that he went to A school with is there with him. If you talk to your tell him thanks for being there for my son... he is going through a really tough time not with the ship but home life ... so tell your son I said thank you....
I hope that my son will be able to return the support if he ever needs it or any other Sailor for that matter..
All the Sailors or on my mind and in my prayers....

vita3, they can call once in a while. I don't know about cell phone use. They can get emails and send them. Sometimes email goes down and they can't. Send them letters and packages. We've sent packages with stuff in them to share with others and a bunch of letters from people expressing their gratitude. Having children from schools draw pictures and writing letters is good too.

Hi everyone. My son just graduated A school and they are flying him out to meet the ship in a few weeks. We are very new to this. I have a question. How do we communicate with out sailors? Do they get to take their laptops and cell phones?

What a fantastic day, we talked to our son! This is the first time he's called since he's been on the ship. His voice was all I needed to hear. He said his last port was a relaxing time for him & he enjoyed it a lot. Also heard from our daughter-in-law. She's visiting her family in Scotland right now. She's having a hard time adapting to being away from her man. Good new here too. She's going to come visit us after she gets back to California. We're hoping she'll stay for a month or , however many she likes. We'll just be excited to see her too! Hope you all have a great day!

Prayers are going up for you and your son. Be well Nancy. Prayers for our Sailors to be safe during rough waters.

Hey! I finally was home when my Sailor called - on his 20th birthday!! I cried tears of joy during the call. It was so good to hear his voice.
