We are not attending the Tiger Cruise but will be there for homecoming. Hope I get the chance to meet some of you. With my past history with homecomings. My sailor gave me the date they were due in. We just showed up. We had no idea what time they would be in. So we were at the base at 7 am, the ship came in around 9, thank god we were in FLA and it was a sunny warm day. So with this sailor I plan to do the same. Only I think its going to be a little cold for this one. Hope to see you there.

Carlotta - have you been on the FRG mailing list? Jennifer, who is the FRG coordinator and sends out the emails, is the one to contact; she'll let you know what info you need on this.

My family will not be attending the Tiger Cruise, therefore I need to know who I need to contact for access to the base for the actual homecoming.

My family will be attending the Tiger Cruise as well, and we are so excited.

I know this group has been pretty quiet lately, and we all need to make sure we're still careful about opsec (i.e. not mentioning or hinting about specific dates); but since I've just finalized my travel arrangements to be there for homecoming, I was wondering if any from the group might be there either for homecoming or the tiger cruise?

I want to thank you again for your help. I called NEX and they gave me a 800 number, my son can call and order his uniform and they will ship it right to the ship. Problem solved.

Hi Nancy ! Hi Ladies !
wow .... I just wrote this really nice long message & then ... it was gone.

Its been sooo long since I spoke with any of you. I miss having everyone to talk to & hearing about everyone & their sailors. Well, I lost my job back in the beginining of the yr & was so worried abt finding another. And everyone here was so supportive, Thank you ! Well, I did ! And I got a promotion ! I am a college Admissions Advisor ! And, I work with MILITARY PERSONNEL ! Helping all ACTIVE DUTY, Veterans, & Spouses get their education. We help them with their TA (Tuition Assistance, for Active Duty & Reserve), GI Bills, & veterans who have expired their time eligibility, and spouses. My school even offers a discount for Military Personnel & their spouses. I am so happy to help them & tell them about the benefits that to my surprise, alot of them do not even know they have ! I enroll students everyday that get their education for free ... yea, I said FREE ! (Any questions, PM or eMail me @ kgb218@gmail.com)
Hope you all & yours are doing well ! I know the ship has been out for awhile now & everyone can hardly wait for their return !
Take Care & keep in touch ! I will try to come back soon (now that I had to reset my password, cuz I locked myself out, duh !)
~ Kara ~
