MarianneKT's Mom said… - Great pic that you posted of your son on the Reagan. Has he ever been on any other ships to see their medical departments? I've heard the Essex (and LHDs like it) is 2nd only to the hospital ships, so I wonder what all the carriers have on them.

- Any chance you can post his pic of the essex + snow on the Japan site? Katie just missed the snow as she left on the 30th for leave. Heard there were others having snowball fights;)

- My daughter is on the Essex out of Sasebo. I met one of her friends that's a corpsman on the ship when we were there this summer for the Gator Cruise. Now she is working at the clinic because she is pregnant and couldn't be on the most recent deployment. Hope your son likes Sasebo. What does he think if sushi and such?
