I saw this article well, working out :http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=91331...love the Navy app...

Thought this group would find it interesting, since I didn't realize 2/3 of the GW crew crossed over to the RR...my sailor was on deployment on the RR and CV carriers...said there's a reason the GW is going in, needs some updating and TLC....lol

Well... Have you talked with a sailor lately???

Yea for packages... I'll have to confirm if my sailor got his.... Sometimes tracking will show in route when they got it..... Last December I sent 2 packages at the same time, they got to the carrier a month apart...the mail gets sorted into pallets and is flown to a base near where they'll be and is flown or shipped on another boat to be airlift onto the carrier, along with food supplies, medical stuff, parts and dry goods for the store...some sailors work a lot in port as they are working on the replishment crew...

Care package items, ask your sailor depends on their job... Mine is on the flight deck, likes bandanas and wipes to combat jet scum, he doesn't always get to the galley so he likes quick meals but doesn't like candy mostly healthy foods: dried nuts, fruit, oatmeal cups,granola bars, tuna snacks packages, peanut butter crackers, wipes, lotion, jerky, chap stick, bandanas, tea, spices,

Hi happy to join this group, my son was on the Reagan for a short time. Need ideas of items to send...he doesn't tell me what he wants or needs. Wipes make sense!  :) Only sends one or two emails a week, 1 short paragraph, guess he is emailing his girlfriend with info  :)

Our sailor got all 3 packages at once, mailed them a week apart. Asked what he wants in his next package, TP and wipes. Their TP on ship is like sand paper. I got a good chuckle out of that one.
