oops ... eMail access has been quite limited since they left. And since they left last week the cell service is probably done. Some carriers have some service on the water off the east coast, like Sprint.

I am looking for more pictures ... from when they deployed or from the Family Cruise .... Anyone have any ?? Please post or eMail to me ... kgb218@gmail.com
Take Care ! Try to get some sleep & my prayers are with all of our Bataan sailors !

Hi Ladies ... I apologize again for being 'overboard' or 'MIA' ... I have missed talking to everyone & now I am so worried, I understand that e

Have any of you heard from your sailor since they have been underway? I e-mailed my son but have not got a response yet. I did talk to him via cellular phone on Thursday but have not heard anything from him since.

Our daughter is a BM and you are right she may need to be physically on the ship prior to gaining access to the web page. That's ok we can wait, we should find out Wednesday when she officially flies home and how long she will be here. She will no doubt get to VA well before her report no later than date since its the 20th of June. Anyone from this group in VA?

Nancy, that is so cool. Wasn't your son on the rail??

Here's a link to a local news story that was posted to YouTube - I think you'll find it interesting:

Meet too - too bad James won't be in port while your son is in C-school. Oh well, it will be worth the wait.

Thanks Nancy.
I can't wait for our son's to meet each other.

Barbara & csms, yes, I believe your Sailor has to actually be on the ship for you to get authorized for access to it. But don't worry, you're not missing too much - even the pictures that were posted are pretty similar to what Lisa posted already. I have alerts set so that if there is content on there, I usually get an email; so if there's anything important, I can let you know.

csms2008, what rate is your daughter. My son, Stephen just graduated A school in GL for FC. He will be going to C school, then will be on the USS Bataan. He has applied for a sponsor too.

They denied my access to the family site too. I guess it might be because he isn't physically on the ship yet.
