Hey Regina; I'm happy to know ANYTHING. Our sailor has super glue on communication with us!

Hi Martha: Dan is my husband. The 'DAD". I understood - and am probably wrong - that there is a newsletter for each ship.
Hey Regina: I waish my sailor was in your group. You are so WONDERFUL!
I was hoping to receive one for the USS Pennsylvania before our sailor is off to his next job. For the family history, but mostly for Grandpa who is VERY intrested in what the family sailor is doing. I'm also looking for a book on the history of the Penn (sub) to get for Grandpa. It is hard when we aren't located close to anything geographically. Plus there is so much out there - that it is tough to know what will give the best information for what is current and relevant. I have found stuff from the carrier for WWII-at least this keeps me busy.
Our sailor has invited his father for a dependant's cruise - can you tell me what that is? I'm glad to hear that he is reaching out to build a relationship there.

Regina and Meg are so awesome! I've connected with Linda and she is following up in their wonderful service too.

Good Morning:
Well, the doc said that the spot on Dan's lung had not changed in two years - so no worries; and he is good with that. Thank you for your prayers. Monday he has the four hour test in Sacramento. Then maybe things will settle back down. Thank you all! My angel blessings~s
I am still waiting to see if I can receive ship news letters - or anything. Sure seems to take a while- but then again I have PLENTY to focus my attention on.

Give him a few days to get where he is going. It is true, he might not know is exact unit or address. But you still should have the Ombudsman information always,.
-
-
He just called me for 2 minutes to say he was leaving the States tonight on a charter. I asked if he new what unit or whatever he'll be with and he said he has no information. Could that be? Maybe I should wait in contacting the Ombudsmen.

CTmomof3,
Yes your OMBUDSMAN can get you in touch with your son. Do you know where his current command is before he goes IA?
-
-
Will an Ombudsman be able to find out what unit my son is attatched to? He is leaving for his IA assignment to Afghanistan tomorrow and I know nothing.This info I found out thru the GF. He hasn't called me in weeks. I've sent txt mess but no answer and he's still the the States. .
-
-
No I don't. He's in IA training now so not sure what command to contact. Im guessing his permenant duty station?
