I don't know much about the unit, Cameron mentioned before he left that they would mostlikly do humanitarian deployments and training but he didn't think they would be sent into action.

Jen I'm so pleased you finally heard from him. Don't worry about the Master Chief. When he fusses at Cameron, it'll be over quickly. They deal with these kinds of things all the time. They're used to the worried moms…"

I already sent the letter to the Command Master Cheif so I warned him that he might get yelled at. Thank you all for your help and support. I thought that I wouldn't miss him so much because he…"

burnemup replied to burnemup's discussion 'Contact Information For Son's or Daughters in Okinowa' in the group Corpsmen Moms and Dads"His name is Cameron Burnham. I'm not sure where he is on any of the bases. It is just so odd. He is such a homebody and close to all of us. Thanks for your help Mary.

"My son is there as a corpsmen. There are several camps there but I can see if my son knows him. Just give me his last name. If he does, he can let him know to contact you. Hope this helps. Mary"

Contact Information For Son's or Daughters in Okinowa
My son left for Okinowa before Christmas and we heard from him once when he arrived. I have tried to contact him many times with no luck. He did not have an address when he called and I have looked everywhere to find one. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can find him or find an address? All of his Chirstmas cards, letters and presents were returned to family and friends.
