Good afternoon my son is a STG in Japan

Mine is on Whidbey.  Their schedule is way different than being on a ship.  It's a beautiful place.  Canada is just a hop, skip and a jump away.

Excellent as we have a farm in Maine. Joe will appreciate the opportunity to base there as he isnt a big fan of the city. After Spending the last year in San Diego, this will be refreshing for him!!! He hears so many negative things from Sailors coming off of fleet about ship life, it would be great if I had some positive things to tell him. T-AGOS being civi ships and stg only is already great for him to know but if you can think of anything else I can tell him i.e. food, sleeping quarters, anything that is different than a regular ship, where they don't get much time to spend on their own rate, would be so helpful. Thank you

Hi Joeysmom!
My son has been an STG on a ship for five years but got transferred to shore duty on whidbey June 2016. The island and surrounding area is beautiful! My son thinks it is a bit to quite compared to ship life. Whidbey is full of sailors and their families. Many outdoor activities are available if he likes that type of adventure.
Hope he enjoys it! And you should definitely visit.

Anybody have someone at Whidbey island in Washington State? My son got orders to go. He has been at Point Loma , San Diego since last Oct. I'm wondering if anyone has gotten feedback from their Sailors?

My Daughter has been in San Diego for almost 2 weeks now and is loving it. Doing a lot of volunteer work until classes start. Stuff such as cleaning the beach, working with homless, and The Ronald McDonald House. She will be coming home on leave for about 10 days before classes start. Im so ready to see her.

Good morning! My daughter is on her way to San Diego - ready to start this next phase of her adventure. Hoping to connect with moms and keep in touch.

Good morning ladies. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday. I would like to thank all the ladies for being here with me through this journey. At first I did not think it was gonna be possible to get through my only daughter leaving for boot camp. But with the help of the ladies here it wasnt so bad after all. My daughter should have graduated 1-8-16, howerever she did not pass her run so she was sent to fit and after a week in there she passed. She is now almost finished with ATT school now and will be leaving for school in San Diego in about 2 weeks. I have been to visit her in Great Lakes 4 times since she left for boot camp. The first time was Christmas Day through the Adopt A Sailor program which was the best Christmas gift ever! The last time was just this month on th 19th. This visit was awesome as well because she actually had phased up and was able to stay at the hotel with me all weekend. I met a few of her classmates and a few of her shipmates as well. It was a amazing weekend. Cant wait to visit her in San Diego. Once they get out of boot camp and have their phones back it gets sooooooo much easier!
