She'll probably never need it, but if the time comes when she does she'll sure wish she had it (when her friends take off for sightseeing & she can't go 'cuz for some reason they require it! or if she had to come home for an emergency - heaven forbid - and she's not traveling with her ship). You can always say "I told you so!" lol

Unfortunately, my sailor is stubborn and if her command said she doesn't need it, she's not going to get it. I can't tell her either way; I'm just a Mom.

Hi all - Happy Wednesday!
Hope - glad I could make you smile!
Sea Salt - my sailor got his passport back in January per the request of his command. I think it just makes life easier for them to travel around when they are in ports. I would say for your sailor to get it - he may never need it, but if only one time he does it's better to have it!

Any idea if our sailors need civilian passports? I know their military IDs can be used for passports, but I am hearing conflicting answers if they should also get a civilian passport in case they go site seeing. My sailor said they do not need them. Other Navy Moms said they do. Where can I get the correct answer?

Hi all - Happy Tuesday!
So excited that we get to visit our sailor next week!!! We just found out on Saturday (after coming home from a weeks vacation) that he has leave so now I am madly trying to book hotel/air. Thankfully hubby & I both were able to get time off work - now just waiting to see if college son can get off work to join us. Long trip from CA to VA but it will be soooo worth it ;-) And I'm looking forward to getting a ship tour - sure hope we can make that happen!

Sea Salt,

I also saw some comfort pads on website called rack sheets. they also have locker organizers and flannel sheets. Is the Ship cold? Will she need or want flannel sheets come winter?
