Probably the sexiest most awesome way for a Sailor to say, “I’m Home!” GF's and Spouses are gonna love this!
So this story comes from a girl I met on a military spouse forum. Let it be known that all of our Sailors should do this because it’s just
HOT!!!
_______________________________________________________________________________
My Sailor was due to come home after his first 6 month deployment and we were soooo ready for it. We were really missing each other.
He was due to come in on Friday evening. He called me in the morning to tell me he was at the airport and that he would be leaving soon.
Sailor: Hey Baby
Me: Hey Hunny
Sailor: I’m sitting here waiting, should be taking off in a few hours. What are you doing?
Me: I am just getting ready to hop in the shower.
Sailor: Oooh! Mind if I join you?
Me: Soon as you get home!!! *giggles*
Sailor: Hey, since you are all ready to hop in I want you to do something for me, okay? Just do it and don’t question me on it.
Me: Um, okay. (I am thinking ooh this could be FUN!)
Sailor: Are you undressed?
Me: Yes, well I have a towel around me but yeah
Sailor: Okay, turn the water on and set the shower to warm, not hot
Me: Okay. (I drop the towel and turn the water on to warm)
Sailor: Now, when you get in, hang up with me, but keep phone close because I am going to call you back in 5 minutes. I want you to
wash your hair but do not rinse the bubbles out until I call. I have to find a
more secluded place to do this. *laughs*
Me: *giggling* Okay, I will get in and wash my hair but leave the suds in. K bye!
(I hang up the phone and step in and follow his directions.
A few minutes later I am standing in the shower with my eyes closed, head full of suds and wondering where the call is…and than I feel a
warm body against my back and a whisper of “Hey Baby, I’m home”. I think I died
just then. He is always doing things like that.
He had planned it while on deployment. From the flight time, to the buddy picking him up, to getting him to the front of the house while I
was in the shower. He knew me so well that he could plan it that perfect. I
love my Sailor.

My sailor did something along those lines when he came home on leave after A School. I couldn't possibly love him any more than I already do, but it's nice when he does things like that. He's in Japan and I came home the other day to find a dozen roses and a box of chocolate waiting for me on the front porch. I have no idea how he managed to order them, but if anybody in the family was in on it, they sure aren't telling me.
