Woot, woot, HUMP DAY!
I now have to get his address to get to him on the ship; can you tell that he tells me nothing. He was on a different ship on his last deployment.
Oh BoomMom - sorry that the delays will cause your son to miss the birth :( But it's good to see he has such a positive attitude & how exciting that his new baby boy will be waiting for him after the underway! It gives me chills just thinking about it ;-)
It's good to know that they can get mail while out on an underway. I might try to ship a "practice" box so I know what I'm doing when deployment rolls around lol!
My son said they DO get mail on the quals. He is sad to leave as this qual is now one week longer/later than originally expected so he will NOT (most likely) make it home for the birth of his first son. Baby is due the 26th... He thought they worked this out so he would be home and not deployed, but didn't know to factor in underway. Sad for him. But he said the good thing is that when he gets off the Truman next time, someone will hand him his brand new son. Always looking on the bright side, especially when there is absolutely nothing he can do about it.
My sailor's birthday is next week & wondering if they get their mail when the ship is out for quals?
Its getting closer & closer until the long journey begins :(
Ginny - welcome back to the Truman! They've been very busy getting ready for deployment. Just a reminder though, please don't be too specific with time frames for underways or deployments....always practice OPSEC. Keep our sailors safe ;-)
too tall Joan - so glad you got to spend time with your sailor! Ugh, the goodbyes are so hard, but glad you had a good time!
Hope everyone has a great week!
Hello All. I haven't been on here since my son's PIR exactly one year ago. He just found out his squadron is assigned to the HST and leaves this week for a 30 day qualification cruise before deployment in November. He's excited. I'm anxious to learn as much as possible and support other mom's as we go thru all this!
