Heard from my son yesterday. Sounds like they are enjoying some R & R and all the luxurious sights! Sounds like they have been working very hard too! He did get my packages and letters! So glad they are arriving!
They all need some R & R and hope they enjoy!! When they go into port they have only designated spots they can go to see, right? They just don't let them go free to go wherever I hope. Just looking out for the safety. I am waiting to see if my son receives his package, it has been almost three weeks now.
Perfect! I thought so, just wanted to make sure. Hope they enjoy their liberties!
I am waiting to see pictures from my son, but he hasn't posted anything yet.
My son has stopped getting my emails. Anyone else having issue with emails? Also, I can't seem to get any updates from the ombudsman! Did get flowers from my sailor today! <3 Happy Mother's Day to all!
Sometimes email goes down. Can't get or send. We do have a new ombudsman. Do you need her email address? Annie, do you need me to forward the newsletter to you or do you get them?
I am
Sorry u didn't hear anything. But you never know
What could have kept him from getting in touch
With you. He my have been busy with his Job, not
Had Internet access... It could be anything. Praying
You will hear something soon!
Sorry haven't been on lately, very busy it seems. I did get the new information on the ombudsman. Thank you! I haven't been having any problems with emailing. Hope it is all worked out. I am sorry you didn't hear from your son sailormom59. That would be sad! Well, maybe we will be hearing from them more soon..hopefully when they pull into port again. I am sure everyone is busy for this memorial day weekend, but, we should all take time to pray for our servicemen and women, both active and non-active that serve this country. So proud to be a Navymom!!
I am seeking information on the tiger cruise at the end of deployment, can anybody help me with this? or should I contact the ombudsman? I am trying to plan a vacation around this! Thanks. Hope all Stockdale mom's are doing well.
Hi Annie! I never got any of the June messages until today. Weird. I've been busy with work and helping my Mom from 1,200 miles away. Looks like I'm going to see her in Aug. to help her through some tough stuff. Hope everyone is doing well.
Hi! How is everyone doing? How are your sailors? Did anyone get a call on Father's Day? Last we heard from our son was the end of may. Anyone have any new info on the tiger cruise and the process to be on it? Praying for everyone on the Stockdale.
This is my understanding of a tiger cruise.... If u have different info
Please correct me....when the ship is scheduled to come home they
May come by way of Hawaii. Family members ( no spouses or girlfriends
Though) may meet the ship in Hawaii and cruise back on the ship to
San Diego. I believe only three family members can come.
I am glad to see we are all here and communicating! The closer we get to the end of deployment, the more anxious we are. I hope all your sailors are well and staying strong! I write my son all the time of words of encouragement! It is a long time to be away from family and loved ones, and I am sure they struggle sometimes in there days. I really would like to do the cruise, but I am confussed about how many people can they hold? sleeping arrangements? I am sure there has to be some sort of reservation ahead of time. I am sure we will get all this information the closer it comes. Hope you all are having a good summer! Saying prayers for all the stockdale!
Hi Navy moms! Heard from my son a week ago but he hasn't responded to my last emails. There are times when he doesn't get my emails and I'm not sure if systems are down or what. His girlfriend hasn't heard from him either. When he was in the last port we were able to talk via Voxer...a great app., if you don't already have it! It's like a walkie talkie! My son said he is good, just tired. He works long hours and is studying for a test after working. I pray that he is happy, healthy and safe and that prayer goes for all the Sailors on the Stockdale! Summer will go by to fast and we will have their homecoming to look forward to! Hope you are all doing well!
Lisaartru97 - I know what you are saying, my son did say they were having problems there for awhile, but did receive from him yesterday. I am sure they are all working very hard out there, and could use some R&R in another port soon! My son keeps his emails very short because he says he is so busy! He is saying the days are draging by right now, because I think they are getting a bit anxious! I know how they feel, I am anxious as well!
Heard from my son today! He is just so tired and burnt out. I immediately sent him some words of encouragement! He put his dads name in for the Tiger cruise but for now we are keeping it a secret from his dad. He wants to surprise him! Sure hope there is a spot for him. Have a great weekend everyone!
Good morning Stockdale Moms! Just wanted to let you know that the USS Stockdale is the Molly's Adopt A Sailor adoption for July. You can check it out on the Molly's page here on N4M's.
Their Chaplain submitted the request and we would love to have you participate in sending some love to your kids!!
indyrules, We would love for you to join us at Molly's Adopt A Sailor. Why don't I send you a friend request and my phone number. Sometimes it is easier to explain in a phone call than long emails!
Hope y'all had a wonderful 4th of July!! Counting down the days! Can't wait! Anybody interested in doing the tiger cruise? I sure do! Hope everyone is hearing from their sailors and I am praying each day for them, and hope they are keeping their spirits up!
Hi Annie, not planning on the Tiger Cruise. Would love to but I also have to save some vacation days to go to FL to help my Mom in Aug. But I'll be there in SD!
My son said he put his name down for one if us to do the tiger cruise, I'm not sure if it will be my husband or me that goes. At this point we are gonna fight over it hahahaha! Are any other moms going who have sons on the ship? I am just wondering if it is better for dad to go just because they're the same gender.
