USS Bataan LHD-5

That is what he said. What is funny he said he never had a girlfriend last a deployment they always tend to end it within the first weeks of his short underways before deployment. He said he wants is just that one kiss the first kiss. He said that is what he wants so bad is that moment. I know its cheesy but he really want that moment so I am trying to get my friend to take a picture of that moment for me. Like the Whitney Huston in the bodyguard kind of thing as he said word for word.

I should really go to these meeting for FRG but I work nights and I go to class during that day you guys have those meetings on times where I am sleeping. ( I have just as bad as a schedule as the sailors on the boat)

I hope so. His parents absolute me love me. They already offered about holidays because they know I spend it a lot alone most of the past years because of my family. I basically feel like I am in a fairy tale he has a wonderful family and my family is just so dysfunctional. I feel so blessed to be able to have invited to peoples meals. I mostly work a lot or study and my family can only stand each other for and hour. Its been hard deployment for me but a lifetime memory I will always keep because it showed me and him how strong we both are and how much dedication we have and that is a first for me and him. He told his parents the second week he we dated that I was the one. His dad told me that today. I was shocked because that was a year ago.

I never get to goes to those meetings. So I can't put in a raffle. * hint if anyone wants to put me in for me please do so* Last name is Cabana it will make his day. lol (at least I can try)

I dont comment here much but SisCarrie, I think my husband might know your son. He made OS on the last testing cycle and was undes. Before that and 2-3 days ago was telling me that one of his undes. buddies made OS this cycle. I saw your post when I was reading back.

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!

Happy Turkey Day to all !

Happy Thanksgiving Ladies!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and safe travels.

My husband and I are enjoying Thansgiving in Branson Mo. 

This is what my kids gave me for my 50th birthday.  I love them!!

I missed my call, of all days!  :-(

I haven't been able to get on the family site in like a month, I even reset my password but that didn't help ethier..

Our Sailor called back late, but did call, their Thanksgiving day was  already over, but said they had a nice meal... I am happier now.. :-)

My Thanksgiving was great just me and my hubby @ Dixie Stampede in Branson Mo.  This was my birthday gift and I had to use some of my vacation time, before the end of the year otherwise I loose it.

Hope everyone had great Thanksgiving!!!!

Goodmorning my son is assigned to the USS Bataan he is just preparing to leave A school in Great Lakes. He actually departs sometime in December afther he is done with leave. I am worried about him and how he will adjust because he is a E1 and also undesignated. If he would have listen to mh (his mother) he could have a bit more rank.

mso ship11 Division 366; Ship life is a huge adjustment. He just has to get thru it. It'll get better. My husband just got to the Bataan a couple weeks ago and he prefers the Eisenhower to the Bataan. Anyway, he promptly requested the I send his pillow and navy blue pillow case(the pillows there are flat and he has to cover the one he got with a sheet), The ships store is lacking in snacks so I sent candy, cookies and goldfish crackers, he also wanted gateraid powder and koolaid powder. be prepared to mail stuff

Thanks Stephanie about the ship being low on snacks, my son never says anything about that or the bedding, but this is his first deployment.

mso ship11 Hello there, My son is just finishing A school in GL as well and will be joining Bataan in December.  He is looking for others who are going with him.  I sent you a friend request so maybe we can get our boys together.  I am worried too.

Can someone tell me where I find the Bataan family site?

does anyone know the "cut off date" ?  I sent a thanksgiving package, but not sur about if  a Christmas package will get there in time.. us post office insured it to be there in 1 week... we'll see.. tommorrow!!  Emails have been daily!!!  My sons first deployment as well... his meeting with Career development "higher ups"  said he will be in training for another year...not sure if it's in Norfolk..

   when do we need to start making reservation plans for homecomming.  If someone knows you can friend me or I will give my email address to you. Thanks in advance.

What goes on for homecoming?  Should I be planning something?  I live in Las Vegas, My son is just finishing A school in GL and will be join the Bataan in December some time.

Well I hope we get somewhat of an idea. I have a 2 day drive and than I will hope for good weather.  I have to let work know real soon on when I'll be leaving and how long. My son gave me some idea but today he said he didn't know for sure anymore.  I know dates can change a lot.

What a great picture!! :-))))))))

Thanks jakesmom..okay I will look for the request, thankyou because I have got to stop worrying. I have just received help with my son on getting a sponsor have you spoke with your son about this yet?

my son got his Thansgiving Package last night. :-))   Everyone loved the

Puppy Chow to send at least 3 more big containers of it.  LOL

Have a good Cyber Monday!!:-))

That package I mailed Nov.9th.

mso ship11.  I dont know anything about a sponsor.  What is that?

so to go on the tiger cruise it has to be the same sex sponsor.

Thanks Joro, That cleared up some of my questions also about the Tiger cruise.

Just received an email from my son, he passed his EAWS board test.   :-)))))))))  Now he said he gets set of awesome wings that goes above his ribbons on his uniform..    SO PROUD!!!

Good Deal CKMOM!!! So how do I tell Jake to go about getting his sponsor.  He is coming home this week!!!

Thanks!!  He was so sad when he didn't advance to E4 just missed that by not even 1/2 point.  So this brought his spirits up.

Thanks,   VCabana523 we are so proud of him!  

Thanks Sandra!

Sandra Hows the wedding plans comming?

Sandra, At least they are keeping it simple.
