I haven't seen my sailor in 2 years and have to drive 8 hours to Norfolk but I'll move a mountain to see my daughter again. can anyone help me find out what dates they will dock in Norfolk?

Good morning, my son's squadron will also be joining the USS George Washington and I am wondering if this is an active group during their travels?

My Daughter will be joining the USS GW very soon. I think they are flying her group out to Guam or Australia to meet up with the GW. She is so excited what a fabulous time for her to be joining the Navy. Air Craft carriers are all on the move and she gets to travel around and see the world... that is why she joined the Navy after all.. Cheers to you all !! She is going sightseeing in Toyko today hopefully she will take some cool pics to send back to MN!! The Time Change is taking a little bit to get adjusted to- Best time i can text her is when I am getting up in the AM. Thanks!
