Hi CW, thanks for the add. My name is Diane. My son is an ABEAA on the Lincoln.

Great pics. I assume that's your son and his son? Very cute.

Yes I know about "power of atty", I've told him he should do that for me but "he's grown now". The liberty buddy thing is a given.  I'm guessing now that he was stuck on the ship, maybe, and couldn't get any money to go back out. I'm not sure.  I had him on facebook chat for a few minutes so he must have had access to a computer. I'm assuming that's only on the ship. So I left him some detailed instructions on what to email Navy Federal. They were very specific about how they wanted to verify who he was. ugh...makes a mom crazy. :)

 WOULD LIKE MORE INFO PLEASE.

Hi I'm Sue, thanks for the friend request. My son Matt has only been in for 5 months and already on deployment. He's doing good though, and that's the main thing!!!!

Hello Countrywoods, your grandson is soooooo cute!!!! My daughter will be a MM when she gets to her ship. I guess growing up a only girl made her want to get dirty!!! LOL... We are from North Carolina, Where are you guys from? Thanks for the friend request.

Hi, my son graduated bootcamp last October, went to A school in Pensacola for 4 weeks, and then to San Diego thinking he would be there 4 years. He was only there a week and got deployed, needless to say we were all shocked, but he seems to be doing ok.

As of now he's in the laundry room as his job is undesignated, although he will be working in Aviation eventually. 

Ship to shore card??? Is that like a calling card??

Hi countrywoods.

I saw you on chat but didnt get to talk to you. My son is on the Vinson so our sailors are in close waters. What does your son do for his job? My son is a Machine Repairman on the ship.

Hope to chat with you soon,

I'm sorry to hear that about the Plane Captain qualification. It's sad that it often comes down to whether another person does his/her part. I hope Landon doesn't feel too down about it. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you over the weekend; I have been crazy busy!

Wow, guess I don't look at my own page very often! Just saw your comment about the jet crash. Yes, I did see that. Amazing that no one was killed. My son was stationed there for several months.

I love that picture of Daddy and his baby zebra!

Too bad they can't fly home with those wings!

my son was also an AM on the Lincoln.   Take the tiger cruise if at all possible.  The "ultimate" cruise.
