thanks for the explanations to the K and "cranking" maybe that is the type of stuff they will put my son to do on the ship .You would think each YN's on the ship have duties as assigned already and know what to do. I guess he will find out, let me know if you get anything out of your son BHappy(Sharon) lol if not I totally get that. My family and friends are always asking how and what is he doing and sometimes I really don't have a answer excepthe is fine and Idk what he is doing this weekend or at his job or ?? But his room is clean Haha I miss that boy.

Navymom3, my son has been in for 6 months and i am not really up on the lingo What is the K? What is "cranking". My son is 19 ans works I the administration He works with 4 other YN's. Don't know to much more. He is learning to be alone so he isn't always too detailed on things he is doing. He explains better wen we video chat. Which I intend to do before he leaves. To try and get at much information as he is able to tell me. I don't know which ship he is going on or about what he will be doing. I will tell him about your son D. Handley. Maybe he will know what the K is lol.

well ladies nice to hear a bit about what is going on with you. It was crazy to read how you all felt about the holidays I feel the same about them being over. My reason is a bit different though. I wanted my son to get busy as he seem to have too much alone time on his hands. He is pretty new and well the others he works with have been great. He is a bit younger than them and in a different place in his life. So I wanted him to be busy. Then on the day he goes back they tell him that he will go out to sea on Jan 11,2012 for a month. He is not assigned to a ship but a assigned to a Admiral so some say he could have a hard time not being one that is assigned to the ship. Any thoughts? don't want to ask him right now as I am sure alot is going on getting ready to go out and all.

Misawa, northern Japan. Looks like the opposite end from your son. The weather looks pretty cold and snowy there according to the internet. That's nice that the ship has a facebook page, my sailor wouldn't give much information even if he wasn't in the Navy lol! Hopefully we will hear from him some. I'm sure we will hear through his wife so that's good.

@ BHappy, funny as I was sitting at my desk today, the first day back to work after the holidays I had the same thought - I'm just glad the holidays are behind us. We got to spend a couple of days with our sailor, his wife and our grandson before Christmas but Christmas itself was quiet and a bit lonely without my kids around! Our sailor gets deployed next week to Japan, but not on a ship so I hope that means he'll have more communication, but we shall see. He says he'll be working and studying while deployed to help with the testing in March. Thinking of all of you and glad we made it through.

Wanted to take a moment to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. For me it is my first year with out my son being here I am grateful for skype but it is isn't the same I fine myself so emotional and full of memories. I know that it is harder on him then he admits but we will get through it. Had a experience with getting his package to him.Haha Almost cost me more to send it then what was the items were worth in the box. Live and learn next time I won't wait so long to send it.

just a update for my son he stationed in Norfolk Va has been there almost three weeks. He is getting adjusted to his life there. I spoke with him for like a hour on video chat last week. He seemed relaxed and content with where he is. He is the youngster of the group. He works with 4 other Yeoman they all have at least 10 years on him. He has a very good position for a Yeoman and says he will learn alot. He has more time off then he thought. He is being well cared for and is learning his way around. they help each other out quite a bit Even tried his hand at cooking. It is hard him being so far (2000 miles) but as a Mom you do what you need to do. I miss him terribly sometimes. I can't imagine how Mothers handled this 30 yrs ago. with no cell phones, computers. for that I am grateful. Wishing well to all of you who loved ones are in A school.
