I just received my phone call.... Lasted until we ran out of things to say... Happy, Happy Sailor's Mom...Kellie, our Sailor must have heard you.... :-)
Kellie- I love that show! I use it as my excuse to cry once a week! It is Army Wives that i have to stop watching! At least Coming Home makes me cry happy tears. Army Wives is starting to depress me!!
I hope everyone had a good Mother's Day! Glad to hear most of yall got to hear from your sailor!
I hope everyone had a good mothers day, I got a call from my son yesterday,I am so glad. He received 3 packages and he told me to hold off a little bit on the packages, he is out of space, I figured some of our sailors would receive all the packages at once,Lol. I'm just gonna put some money on his calling card.
Kellie, i watched that last night all by myself and cried like a baby, I really miss my son.
Got a call from my girl this past Sunday - Mother's Day!!! The call came through at 6:51 in the morning and we almost did not answer it since it said caller unknown. So glad we picked it up. She sounds good and of course asked for snacks and lotions and stuff. It was already in the mail so hopefully she gets it soon.
Glad to know that others got call on our special day as well.
My sailor called this morning, but we got cut off about 2 minutes into the conversation. The phone didn't completely disconnect so i kept talking, but goodness that was frustrating! He is back at his old job so he gets to email me more often! :)
it's a shame that they have to take the page down. about 3 weeks ago i noticed one day i couldnt get to it for some reason so hopefully they will put it back up!
sandra- my sailors email was acting funny this weekend. i think the message got too big from all the replying back and forth. but he did call today and said he got to drink a couple beers today. glad they get to enjoy themselves a little.
kellie- well according to my sailor it was "s#!t" beer so maybe your sailor didnt miss much. i told him at least it was a little something for your to enjoy while your stuck in the middle of that sea! he just laughed and said "yea you're right"
Ladies I was brain storming, and i have an idea, I was thinking of recording a video and putting it on a memory card to send my son for his birthday, just all the family wishing him a happy birthday. What i'm wondering, since he has his laptop and a camera on it could he record himself and send the memory card back to me? It would be really nice to see him. What do you gals think?
Thanks Kellie, I will do that then,i will just make sure i send him envelopes and stamps to send it back. I'm getting excited now, i would sure love to see his face!!!
Debbie- so glad to hear that! It really bothered me that someone stole a Bible!! I'm sure there will be alot more activity on the page now that the facebook page is down.
In case any of you haven't checked, there is an announcement from the PAO on the family site about the facebook page. I hate it that 1 person started some drama (agian) and not we all have to suffer! Here is is for anyone that is interested:
The Bataan Facebook page has been temporarily taken offline due to operational security violations. Page administrators will review all historical posts to ensure additional violations do not exist before the page is restored for viewing.
We apologize to the thousands of fans of the Bataan Facebook page, but any mention of the ship's schedule, even when it does not involve specific dates, on a non-secure website or social media site is a violation of operational security. Indications by individual users that they are in posession of a schedule or are aware of the schedule can make them a target, the ship a target, and can put the ship's mission at risk.
Thank you for your continued to support to the crew of USS Bataan (LHD 5).
Nothing to be concerned with. One lady said that there was a certain group of people that had some been told some very important info that was not shared with the rest of the families. The ship said there had been no changes to any info given to the families, but it was too late. Her comment started all kinds of drama! it was pretty heated at one point.
haha a.mitchell i thought it was funny that after she posted all her crap she put: "this is from me, dont do anything to my husband" I kinda thought, if you have to ask them not to do anything to your husband you should know its not good to post!
Can it be made in any jar? How do you make one anyway, are there instructions on a website I can follow? I really want to make one now after hearing about it!
a.mitchell- maybe it wont be too bad. (fingers crossed) let us know if there was anything important that was discussed (well that you can post here with out violating OPSEC rules). I wish I could be more involved, but it is kinda hard when you live 1300 miles away!
I asked the same thing. She emailed me back and said send orders to the frg email..so i am guessing she will tell me where to send my check and how much (for shipping) it needs to be.
hmm...i just followed the link from bataan.navy.mil I know a while back some ladies were having trouble pulling it up. not sure what the problem ended up being.
Has anyone else seen the picture of the day for yesterday? The burgers on the ship look better than the burgers at home! Makes me happy to know they are feeding our sailors well! And it makes me hungry!
hmm...may have to ask my sailor about the hoochies..(just kidding) he said he stayed out side for about 2 hours. just long enough to get a nice sunburn on his head (he shaved it the day before). I told him packed him sunscreen, but he is just too stubborn to put it on. maybe next time!
