it's most likely the ombudsman or someone like that.

I actually became a fan of the GW facebook page and I receive emails each time they post to the wall. I'm just a little confused why someoen onn the ship can use facebook but the sailors can not? I thought it was a security issue (GPS tracking) or something, but I guess not because the person posting on the wall is definitely on the ship! It is cool to hear from the ship though.

Becky, I hate to hear that your son was robbed and that they actually broke the lock off his locker! I don't understand why they do this to their comrades.

Did you ladies know that the George Washington is on facebook? They have a very nice and informative site - here is the link if you are interested. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Yokosuka-Japan/USS-George-Washington-CVN-73/177732872397?ref=mf

From my sailor:

Here is a link for a slide show of pictures from the annual X photos with Japanese and US ships in there.

Becky, I'm so sorry to hear your son has been robbed. It happened to my son too. He has had and Ipod, camera, and camcorder stolen. He was saving currency from all the countries they visited this year - that was stolen too! I wish they could catch the people doing this and kick them out!

Becky, sorry about your son being robbed. Same thing happened to my son, so for all you new moms don't send anything to your children that you would be devistated if it were stolen. Teach them to off load their photos (can't be replaced) to a picture site on the web as sson as possible. I wish things could change but it seems to be getting worse.

Annette,
Sorry, search google alerts. The link will come up to set up the alert.

Hey Ginger and Annette,
Sorry you are having problems with this. Ginger, it sounds like you have done it correctly and I recall getting the email but not what happened when I verified. Annette- Go to GOOGLE.com, not the GW site. CLick alerts. Enter USS George Washington. It will ask what kind of alerts you want, like news, blogs, etc. I just clicked for all. Then it will email you a verification.
Also, I put in my sailors name, starting with the MMFN. It alerted me when she was quoted in the ship newspaper, so I assume it would alert me anytime her name appears in anything that is posted on the internet using that exact name. Hope this is helpful.

Oh Becky, that just plain Stinks!! I worry about my sons stuff. He said someone took his iphone charger and that he is suprised he still has a phone!! That you cant lay anything down for a second! I wonder if we should buy a heavy duty lock for them. What a shame...
