N4M's Sisters....I have been waiting on the right time to tell you that things didn't work out for me and I cancel my flight two days before the Malaysian flight disappear! Remember, I ask GOD if I'm suppose to be there make a way, there was always some type of stumbling blocks in the way so I decided that this wasn't the right time for me to be at Homecoming.

Silorswife88: I am thinking they are still there and then will leave from there and fly back. That would make more sense but I honestly do not know. Who knows? They may be coming back together!?!

So Excited for all the birthdays!! Excited for all our Sailors birthday or not all having a well deserved time Partying in a new part of the world too!! Happy for them!!!!
I want to share this email I just sent my son, I removed his name and replace it with Sailor, don't won't him embarrass! I heard that some of the Sailor's are going off because of the strong waves! So, please N4M's, please join me in this pray along with my sailor's for all of the Sailor's (yours too) and Crew Members on board the Truman Ship! (see pray below) Thanks!!

Happy Birthday to all the Sailors who will be celebrating this month!
Sure hope they get to get off the ship soon. My girl and some of her shipmates booked a hotel room for 2 nights. Would love for them to have that luxury. They have all earned a fun liberty! And some time to relax.
I googled Palma de Mallorca and the name of our ship. I read the Spanish comments written by the locals and was VERY SURPRISED at some of the hostile comments. I hope our sailors are reminded about the security issues before they get off the ship. As Ms. Carrie told us...keep praying for the safety of all of them.
Navymom2.... Thank you for co-signing what I said, I don't know Spanish-- but I do know GOD! When my N4M's sisters sent the link of Truman in the wave my Spirit instance pick up negative vibes that something wasn't right. My College student happen to call me and said Momma you know they are going off on the Ship! And if I they can't get off the Ship they just might has well head back to their Homeport! I told her I just saw the blog about the waves and I'm going to send my sailors an email to pray!
N4M's Sisters, with sooo much going on and its been two week and look at the tragedy that has taken place at Norfolk and Fort Hood! You know our Sailor's are tied, fed-up and been ready to just COME HOME SAFETY!!!!! Its just to much for anybody to digest, so PLEAASE let send these Prayers up to GOD!
Its call Teamwork, ladies we can do this because we Mom's holds this World up with GOD help anyway!!! :) Ps: my sailor has a 24th birthday coming up in couple of day also a Aries! "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL APRIL SAILOR'S"!!!!
Catsmom: The very last comment on page 1 is in English. It reads Yankee Go Home. Some negative comments are rantings about "reading history and the consequences of Imperialism"; some negative comments are from Socialists.
On the other hand, a woman tells the reader not to mind the negative comments are the women there are ready for men who are not gay. The folks who have businesses are happy our sailors are there as well. They say the naysayers don't know what is means to work. Others are just happy the port is busy again.
Navy Moms lets lift all our sailors in prayer. Thank you Ms. Carrie for leading the charge...
I am dancing too!! My son messaged me at 3:30am and I surprised him with a reply!!! Ha ha looks like they are just now able to go onshore!! A needed break! We are getting so close to real hugs and kisses!!! Stay positive ladies!!! TGIF bring out the cabana boys, your boas I am blending up the jalepeno mango margaritas and plenty of M&Ms for ALL! ! ! We are going to have a FABULOUS times ahead!!!
Yayyyy Gaisey!!! GREAT News for our Sailors going onshore!!! Thanks for all the POSITIIVE Vibes Ladies!!! Happy, Happy Friday to you all!!!! Yes, wearing my red too!!
Ladies If you google the wording and translate to English you can understand what all is being said if you do not know Spanish. My Spanish is pretty bad, so I had to do that. Interesting....

EUROPA PRESSPalma Updated: 04/03/201413:56 pm
The aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman CVN 75 calls at the port of Palma on Thursday in a scale of five days in which it is estimated that around 6,000 soldiers visiting the island .
As reported by the Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB), the presence of these ships of the Navy of the United States will be a substantial increase in economic activity , as it is estimated that the expenditure of soldiers coming down to earth is 120 USD per day .
Also, stay positively affects businesses hire, excursions, restaurants, hotels, taxis and shops in general.
While the presence of the USS Harry S. Truman CVN 75 San Jacinto cruise in the port of Palma will require services such as pilots, tugs, waste management companies, underwater or maritime transport activities, among others.
The scale at the port of Palma is scheduled between days 3 and 7 April . It is the first time in two years U.S. Navy ships visiting the port of Palma.
A puzzle for racing
The arrival of U.S. military aircraft carrier Palma has become a real headache organizing regattas 45 Trofeo Princesa Sofía , taking part in the 1,130 athletes from 55 countries , including Olympic medalists and world champions and continental career and toward Games Rio 2016.
The ship propulsion miliary has anchored in the bay and around it has established a restricted area of a thousand meters can not navigate that, and one of 2400 meters on the stand is prohibited .
"These exclusion zones have caused it to move a race course, with the Laser class, and that we had to cut the other, the windsurfers," explains coordinator Trofeo Princesa Sofia - ISAF Sailing World Cup in Mallorca water, Xisco Gil, who adds: "With windy conditions like today montaríamos longer for windsurfers race but can not be because as we enter into the exclusion area of the aircraft carrier, they do two laps on a tour shorter.
Just spoke to hubby; he finally made it to land! He said it was a little scary transferring from the Truman to another ship because the rip currents are still strong; process was taking about an hour.
Good afternoon Sisters, I heard from my son via email this morning! He said, Ok and Thanks to everybody for the Prayers!!
Navymom2, GrandmomB and Carol Ann... thanks with the translations of English version on what's going on. I've been putting it off for a long time, but I must learn Spanish soon. lol
Keep those Prayers going up for All of the Sailors,Truman's Safety, Safe return Home and Our Entire Armed Forces in the World! Yes, their are trained well, but still human and their are our Love Ones!! :) Everyone have a Safe and Bless weekend.
hello ladies, well we are just about ready for our grand adventure to norfolk! gonna be a road trip from Calif so hope to see lots of awesome sites along the way and cant wait to meet the ones that can make homecoming:) blessings to you all and see ya soon!
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Good morning! My heart skips a beat thinking of them having fun! My heart skips more beats thinking of seeing them pull in! Keep Those Prayers Coming! Keep on Happy Dancing!
My husband flew in at about 1130 last night and we finally got to see him at almost 1 am. My 2 year old was beyond excited so we didn't get him to sleep until after 3 am. Happy tears!! Cant wait until you are all reunited!!
