The least it has ever taken my son to get a package in 4 1/2 years was 14 days. That was during Rimpac 10. Usually is 4 to 6 weeks. Has taken as long as 8 weeks with no Special things happening. Just keep sending the packages every however often you want to. He will look forward to them no matter where he is or what he is doing.We sent out a box every two weeks last cruise. I have only sent one this time. He id set to seperate to shore duty April 1st. Just praying he still gets to. Justen has orders close to home.

My son is on a support ship to the Reagan. I sent a package 6 weeks ago, and he still hasn't got it. Why is the mail so slow? I know they are doing an important job, but don't we need to keep up their moral.

Record breaking day today with over 50,000 lbs of supplies delivered to support the relief effort. Navy and Marine Helicopters on deck, CODs bringing supplies, a few jets flying and a replenishment at sea. Super Carrier at its best!

My son used to be on the Reagan, he says he is glad they are there to help and that the people of Japan are in good hands. He has fond memories of helping out after typhoons hit the islands over there.

yes, tough deal. Garrett has been to on several humanitarian  projects while with the Seabees from ACB1. He has been to Thailand, South korea, Japan and was flown to Virginia to assist with the Haiti earthquake but those orders were cancelled. He was really excited to be on the Reagan and her current deployment.

Praying for all the sailors onboard the RR and all the Military as they assist with the disaster in Japan.  May the good lord keep them safe as they do what they have been trained to do!  We received a short phone call from our son early Friday morning telling us they were ok. It was so good to hear his voice.  I miss our phone calls so much.  I hope that you all have heard from your sailors too.
