Wow Annams-THAT is quick! My quickest was 6 days from OH. Boom Mom: I agree! My son even agreed with that- the families have it the worst-especially those with children. You can't gain back the precious time you lost watching them grow up and missing events in their lives.And yes, I think you are vague enough. You can bet I won't be asking any questions about it either-lol!Welcome to the New Moms! Yes, this is a great group!

I mailed a care package from Northern Michigan to my son on 4/27 and he received it 5/4 in the morning!!! That has to be a record for speedy delivery :)

I had my first phone call in a while from my sailor. He was flown off the Truman by helicopter to another ship in our strike group for a couple days to do some type of work with a few people on that ship (vague enough?). He really liked the smaller ship and said he encountered all of 20 people in the entire day. Must have been very interesting. His wife and son are still in town visiting so we are enjoying some time with them. The deployment extension is especially hard on those with families. Welcome to all the new-comers. Have a great rest of your week, everyone.

I'm officially a "Truman Mom" as my son has deployed to join your sailors. I've been impressed with the strong family bonds I've seen here and know he will be with good folks as co-workers and new friends. I tend to be someone who likes quotes, so I will leave you with this one for today: “I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.” -- A. A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh :-)

too tall Joan, Thanks for the outlook about Homecoming! I can't wait! My family is so anxious! My son is in good spirits about the extension and is keeping a great attitude. Do you have any advice for the Hotels in Norfolk? I've seen other places like Chesapeake and Suffolk but not sure how far that is from base. The last time we visited we stayed in Virginia Beach and it is a lot more expensive.

durrichShip: I completely understand. That is why I asked. My son was a Nuke. Just was wondering in a general way. Not trying to bring on a problem.
