The Germantown is now based in Japan not San Diego. The Harper's Ferry swapped with the Germantown in May. My son is on it right now and they just left Sasebo Japan for Australia! He was able to take all of his leave (around 20 days) before he left for Japan in May right after his A school. :)

My son is in boot camp right now with a PIR of 6/17. He is in the PACT program and will stay in GL for 3 weeks, come home for 2 weeks, and has been told he will be assigned to the USS Germantown. My question is what is the projected time frame that they will be at sea before returning to SD?

My daughter was orginally suppose to be on USS Harpers Ferry but they did a swap to Germantown.

I guess we former Germantowners are going to have to get a Harpers Ferry page. Can someone let me know, please. Thanks. Cannot wait to meet everyone in person on Tiger cruise or in SD when ship comes in.
