I have heard from my son. He says the sail up was wicked awesome (can you tell he's from Boston), they manned the rails going into Puget Sound and he was impressed with the support along the shoreline, says he's in a barracks with a room mate from South Carolina (go Gamecocks) and says he's very busy loading and unloading, lot s to do.

My son told me before they left San Diego that the nukes would probably have to stay on the ship for a few days after their arrival in Bremerton

I've sent my son a couple of text messages. None have been answered yet. I guess the nukes are really busy.

Has anyone heard from their sailor since they arrived in Bremerton?  My daughter texted me when they departed from San Diego, telling me that they would be very busy the next 20 days, and she probably wouldn't be able to call or text.  Thanks.

USS Ronald Reagan and crew departed San Diego Jan. 6 and headed north to begin a year-long Docked Planned Incremental Availability at Naval Base Kitsap in Bremerton, Washington.

Thank you for the info. Happy holidays to all. Crystal, the cookout sounds good, my son is from Boston so he would get a kick out of it also.

Speical Dinners are done ahead of the actual date. My son always said the holiday itself was slim pickens. Many of the sailors with apartments and families invite others to share. My son and his room mate always grilled and did a summer type meal. They thought it was fun beacuse they are from Pa. and Md. land of the frozen.

Hey Walter, my guess is that there will be special care taken of the Sailors and Marines who have to remain on board the ship over Christmas. They did a great job with that sort of thing during the recent Tiger Cruise I went on and in talking to my son he said that the Navy tries to do special things from time to time, especially in times when families would normally be together, like Christmas!

My sons first Christmas away. Any special dinners or events planned for those still on board? I guess we just want him to have a good day. Thanks
