My daughter Lee has left the Tortuga, Chris I just keep page up for future families of sailors attached to her. My daughter is on her way to Afganistan, she re-trained as on OS and is now Petty Officer 3rd class. She is really good at what she does and the Navy had "lent" her to the Army for duty over there I assume in the drone program, not sure cause she can't tell us. Welcome aboard Chris!!!

Kind of a bad news break - My sailor Lee has been battling severe headaches the last few months aboard the Tortuga. She was hospitalized at Iwo Jima, now they are shipping her out of Japan and back to San Diego for further medical assistance. Just got a call from her - she will land in San Diego tomorrow afternoon. One part of me is kind of happy she will be back State side, the other feels for her - because she loved Japan so much, and it was her high school dream. Does anyone know how this returning process works and what we can expect next?

Just checking in since it has been so long...been very busy on my end. Kevin was sent to Norfolk for a 1 week training session, so my wife and I drove up to see him! Unfortunately, I only got 1 day off work, so it was a short visit, but very well worth it since it has been 15 months since we have seen him. In some ways he has changed a lot..a lot more mature and is now a grown man...in some ways, he is still the kid I sent off to bootcamp, but we couldn't be more proud of him!

Lee called in - she's doing ok - but getting tired of "overnight duty". Also the ships email is down...not really sure why, but if anyone is having issue getting email in/out this is why....Godspeed to you & your sailors!!!

I haven't heard from anyone here, so I am just checking in - I hope all is well with each of you & your sailor(s). God Bless!

Brian, they are so busy it is hard to meet people at times. Tell her to go to radio at the oddest hours she can think of, and she will probably find him! :-) Have a great 4th!!

I talked to Kevin a couple of days ago and CARAT 10 is over and they were in Oki when I talked to him....next stop Sasebo. There was a little bit of a scare on the way to Oki, but he said he couldn't give me any details other than to say, "Damn, that was too close...."
