Yes there is an application she needs to fill out ahead of time so that she can get on base that morning. Try to get in touch with your sailor or the ships ombudspeople

Hello: My wife will be coming to San Diego to meet the Roosevelt when she returns home . Does my sailor need to get her on some sort of list ?  Thanks very much

Comment by paul murphy on March 12, 2018 at 6:23am

Hello

Looks like the tiger cruise aboard the Theodore Roosevelt is on . I am on the list . Talked to my sailor last evening . Don't want to post details here but very interested in speaking with anyone who may also be going . Looking to get some info on details regarding where to stay the night before and how the process works  I have reviewed the many helpful post in this group ....Also interested in the process of meeting the ship as it arrives in home port. My wife will be coming out to meet us . Thank you in advance

the key will be your sailor getting the forms for you as quickly as possible once they are available. It's been years since I went on the tc so I forget how much notice but it was more than a month for sure. Maybe 2 or 3 I forget. Keep in close contact with your sailor, make sure he/she finds out when the forms are available at which time the dates should be known so you could make travel plans. good luck

Hello:

I may be able to attend a tiger cruise on the Theodore Roosevelt sometime this spring . Interested in any and all info that folks might care to share. I have read the post here and they were very helpful. Sounds like I may not be able to make travel pla

ns until ~ a month before the date ?

Hi James, hope to meet you on the cruise.Sign up sheet said there would be airport transportation. Try to put everything you bring into a carry-on size suitcase and you will be fine. if you need a printed list of what you will need let me know. thanks Richard

Richard--I am familiar with Bill W. I am also excited for my upcoming Stennis trip. Since you have been on several maybe you can advise; is there any sort of transportation to bring Tigers to the ship? My son said he'd meet me at the airport. Is there a bus to the port from there? Can you advise how much/little space I'll have to stowe my bag? I definitely don't want to overpack. My leg is from SD north. Thank you. James Brown

getting ready for the Stennis Tiger Cruise this will be my third one and its great getting to spend time with my son at his job. Just wondering if any of you other dads are friends of Bill W.
