Sorry to hear of James'Grandmothers passing also . Our thoughts & prayers are with you. I hope your memories bring you comfort. My son called last night thought you would all breath a sigh of relief they are back at saebo safe, They were unloading so hope you all hear from your sailor soon. He said there was some excitement during manuvers they detected a Russian sub, I guess they kept an eye on each other for awhile.Happy Thanksgiving to all the Japan group had a good idea all moms light a candle @4pm that day I guess as a sign of solidarity we are thinking of our sailors can toast & have a tissue box nearby. Love to all

Tina, sorry to hear of you loss

Tina,
My condolences to your family. When my mom passed away in July Kyle thought he might get emergency leave but did not. I am sure mainly due to the fact that they were underway at the time and grandparents are not considered "immediate family" like Marianne mentioned but it doesn't hurt to try. Good Luck.

TIna-sorry to hear about James' grandma too. Pray for peace of heart and assurance of the resurrection.

I'm pretty sure the Navy makes concessions for only immediate family - like Mom, Dad, spouse, brothers, sisters.

Tina, Sorry to hear James' grandmother pass away. I wish I could help you and answer your question but I don't know what the Navy does in cases like this.

Hoping my son can get home for his grandmother's funeral. Anyone have any experience in this area?

My nephew/godson Jonathan is an officer at Ft Hood. He has already done a tour of duty overseas.

Well I just found out my middle son who is in the Army will be stationed at Ft. Hood when he is done with his AIT. Mixed emotions, he will be closer than South Carolina, but he will most likely be deployed overseas soon after he gets there. But he is happy and that is all that matters.

Congrats, Debi. What an honor!
