Hi Nancy Jean!
What a handsome son you have! You must be and should be very proud.I have a picture of my Brian here if I can figure out how to upload it, smile. Love your T-Shirt. I am stilling trying to figure out how to get some of the IA/GSA T-Shirts. 7.62 Design who makes them hasn't emailed me back, sigh. Hurrah for your son, I know he will make you very proud. What is his usual job in the Navy?
Best Regards,
Karen in western PA

Karen,
My son just left for the Sandbox. Been there 2 weeks now. We were able to get his computer to connect with the video camera for about 3 minutes. The audio didn't work so well. But there was no problem seeing the SMILE on his face!

Hi Missy,
My son is a subdriver on IA deployment. I miss him. He comes home April 2010.
Best Regards,
Karen

Well alrighty now. I got a hold of Norfolk NEX and after several false starts found out i should have been asking for the 'Navy Pride" dept. in the NEX. They have the IA shirtlike the photo on the homepage in T-shirts size Medium to 2x. They also told me if I wanted to buy online to contact http://www.7point62design.com Well That's gotta be the slowest loading website in the world, LOL. It's saving grace is once it loads, returning is real fast loading. I didn't see any of the "Boots On The Ground" warrior wear on their site. Have a comment in to them to find out why. However, they have a page where they list stores which carry their entire inventory. Here are the URL and text from that web page:

I still can't find that t-shirt. San Diego NEX opens in an hour or so, so will call them and see.
Determined,
Karen

Karen, why don't you copy all that info and start a discussion here. That way it won't get lost for other new members. My son has been back from poppyland for six months now. He told me recently that if N. Korea heats up, he'll go. I assumed he'd be on a ship, but he tells me no--that he'd be on the ground.
