Lyn, I am sure you won't have to worry about the adrenalin high lasting long enough. I think once you get to Groton you will be so excited about seeing Alex you won't be able to sleep the night before. I know I won't be able to.

Lyn, I am so glad that your son finally called. I felt bad for you because most of us had heard from our sons. It is good to hear their voices though. My son said all the guys are so excited about finally coming home. Which is understandable. We w...
I got the return date from the USS MIami Ombud. I hope your son has been in touch with you Lyn, by now,and if not, I hope it does before they leave Scotland in a few days. I know how anxious you are to talk to him. Can't blame you there.

Hi Jean,
I am so happy to hear that you heard from Anthony. We have heard from Mark twice. I could imagine with so many sailors on there that it would be hard to know everybody, Since they call each other by their last names, he may know a sailor ...

Jean, Glad you heard from Anthony the other day. Hopefully when they reach their next port this week, they will be there long enough to be able to call or e-mail home again. Yes, I agree too that it is great to be able to keep in touch with each o...
Jerri, that is so nice that Kyle wants to fly home with you and your husband instead of driving. I can imagine how happy that makes you. Yes, after being out to sea for a few months I am sure getting a card or letter from home brings happiness to ...
Lyn, I am sorry that you haven't recieved an e-mail from Alex yet, hopefully you will today, or at least a phone call soon. It's hard waiting for those e-mails and or phone calls. They are so far and inbetween, but on the bright side, they will be...
Have any of you been to Groton more then once? My husband and I have been there about 5 times with in the last 2 1/2 years. I am looking forward to the meet and greet session to meet any of you mothers who could make it to the homecoming. We shoul...

- HI mysailormark. This is Jerri. I know Lyn said you could get in touch with me. My son is on the Miami for his second deployment with them. He is a machinist mate (Petty Officer Third Class) and has been in for three years. I haven't heard from my son since about the first week in Septembe either, but I feel no news is good news. I know he is safe and must be working really hard. Once you get in touch with the ombudsman, they will inform us via e-mail when homecoming will be. The last thing I heard was don't make any kind of hotel, plane, etc. reservations until we hear. I lost the cost of one plane ticket when they postponed it. Hopefully, we won't have to wait long. Let me hear from you. My home e-mail is jhill1122@hotmail.com. I check that all the time, as I just periodically get on N4M. Jerri

- My name is Lyn, I keep forgetting to tell new moms. I use to use my name but had to change it because my oldest son is a CTN and it made him nervous to have my name on any group.
