USS Bataan LHD-5

I tried earlier it won't let me on for some reason.

How do I reopen an account with Navy.mil I don't think I changed my password in time.

Hmmm I wonder why it won't let me on.

Thank You! I found them. I guess they have moved.

Has any one hear from their sailor lately? 

Thanks Sandra I was just wondering.  Last time I talked to my son was last week.

I get emails daily but haven't had a phone call in about a week. Are all there deployments this long?

I saw the email about a half way party they are having on base...does that mean they are half way through the deployment?

I guess we just wait to hear when it will end. I was looking forward to the tiger cruise if it happens.

Do you know why there making it so long it is that one of the things we can't talk about?

  Hi Friends...

   It's been ages since I have written on here... Our Sailor turned 28 Sat. and he had to call me, to wish him a HB.... Some Mom am I ?  ;-(   I  sent no card, because of snail mail, he doesn't want any attachments to e-mails because of slow loading the computers, he said... We do have a care package to send this week I hope it gets there before they return, all I am only allowed to send what he asked for... I was lucky to get a photo from the FB page, so we do know what he looks like and has not changed... I think they may have had that deck party the night of his birthday (limit 2 beers each), but I am sure no one even knew it was his B-Day, as he is so closed mouth... Now he tells us he will not come home when they get back to the States, until it gets warmer.... I think I am finally getting the hint!!!  Are the ordered to go on leave after returning from deployment or is it their choice?  I know nothing!!!

   Another sad thing is that 2 weeks ago we found out our Wire Haired Fox Terrier has cancer and is blind.. So now I have to deal with that choice also.... Our Sailor is graciously paying for all of his treatments, until the Vet says, nothing more can be done.... God Bless our Sailor for doing this, as I think he thinks of him as is little brother, side kick... As our Sailor has had him since he was 16 years old... Our Sailor is our only child, I guess it will really be empty nest around here soon...

   Sorry for this long bummer note, but at least you all have some of the same experiences but, HOPEFULLY not all of them....

 

Take care all of you, please stay safe, God Bless everyone and God Speed to all of our Sailors!!  PC

Sailors mom your note brought tears to my eyes! Try to hang in there. My sailor never calls but emails alot.

I am so sorry to make anyone sad.... It was not my intention, but I guess we are all pretty much in the same boat (LOL!), in one way or another... Chin up to all !

Keep on truckin' as they say!!!

I'm just really hoping they get to come home for awhile after this deployment.....

Me too!!

Hi all !

 Received a beautiful arrangement of flowers for my B-Day today from our Sailor who seems like he is a million miles away... Just when I get down, he knows how to pick me up... Cheers to all and God Speed to all and your Sailors!!

Heard from my son. He is doing really well still really homesick he turns 20 next month that's going to be hard his birthdays have always been a huge deal.

Thanks Sandra,  I just order one for my son.  Great Idea!!

Is anyone else not hearing from there Salior? I usually hear from him everyday and most of the time 2 or 3 times but I haven't heard from him in four days. Are they in Rivercity again?

That gives me hope Sandra, seems like when you hear from your sailor I usually hear from mine.  ( Don't know why)   I also haven't heard from mine in 4 days.

Sandra ask your son if he knows anyone from a Mo. dairy farm?

I received phone call this afternoon.... No email has been allowed... Sailor said they were all fine!!

My son finally e-mailed this morning said he had been in RC for  a while, glad to hear from him.

 

Sandy what picture?

I got a phone call and email. He said they have been going into rivercity a lot. I asked him about CNN and he said he couldn't tell me anything about that. I know its for their safety but sometimes the not knowing anything about drives me crazy.

What is the cnn thing you ate talking about

You know they will always be our kids, what little things make them sooo happy!!

I dont see the link for cnn

I did recieve an email this morning from my son.

Sandra your not a lone I didn't order one either.  I printed the order form and all to get one. I never did see an end date on the form. I might be wrong.

I know what you mean, I did order the military x-max stocking. Can't wait to see it, I think Curtis will like it.

I never get any e-mail....

Kellie,  that's ok we all get those kind of days and you have every reason to be Pissy!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My son called me yesterday and i missed it because I was at work, i just started crying, I messaged him back and told him to call back, i didn't care if it was 3 in the morning, and this morning at 3:30 he called me:)

Hopefully Kellie you will get to hear from your husband soon!!!

Has anyone heard from their sailor? Haven't gotten an email in almost a week

No  I think they must be in RC

Courtney I'm glad you heard from your husband. I'm guessing so because I usually get daily emails so this is odd for me not to hear from him. I hope to hear from him soon!

No word from mine

Just recieved a email from my son and said they have been in RC.  Can't say where they are.

I love surprises sooo I hope so!!

i havent gotten many phone calls but i get emails often =]

I believe they are in RC right now... My husband was supposed to call today and the call never came.

Thank god I took my cell phone to bed with me lol he finally called. Just sucks we were all in bed asleep. I woke but he said he would call again later in the week to talk to the kids. Oh more good news for anyone who has sent packages out lately he said they are supposed to get a mail drop tomorrow / today.

Just got an email from Curtis needed info about what he has in his acct and what he still owes on his car and ect. Needed that info for free apartment. idk!

Glad they are getting mail that should cheer him up.  But the package he will be getting is his Halloween box all decorated in spider webs and black spiders. LOL

Anyone hearing anything? My son calls or emails everyday but I haven't heard from him since last Thursday at 3 am.

My son is joining the ship after he finishes A school.  I am confused.  I see your post talking about this ship like it is out to see but I thought it was at port here in the US.

 

Jakesmom* the Bataan has been deployed since March and we just hit its half way mark. We still have months before they return. Also we can't say where they are but its no where near the US. Are you sure its the USS BATAAN hes joining?

Robyn, Thanks.  He told me last night the name of the ship and he said it was in Virginia.  But all my googling tells me otherwise.  I sent you a friend request so we could private message.

Thanks Ladies, my head was spinning and you helped clear it up.  I really thought deployment was much farther down the road, but there is nothing I can do about it.  Joro - He is Damage Control Fire fighter.

Thanks Kellie
