Hi Lowell. If you have questions about the paper work for a Tiger Cruise, ND Admin Paul has been on one and can help you. I'm so jealous of all of you that have your sailors on a ship. My son is Aircrew and it's unlikely that would get to go on a Tiger flight!

Look forward to meeting you on the "Tiger Cruise". I am thrilled to be going on it. It is the opportunity of a lifetime.

If your Tiger cruise is like mine you'll meet at the USO at the Jacksonville airport. Oce at Mayport, if you've left early, you'll be outside for a number of hours....be prepared with sunscreen.............

Lowell-- saw your post to Luis...I'll got one back fromthe Middle east cruise and one currently there so I know all about that wonderful 6-8 month ordeal! You'll want to get ready to send plenty of care packages....go to the post office and get some flat rate boxes (the large size is perfect). you can pack tons of stuff in those and it's $11.95 flat rate to FPO addresses.....be sure to get some custom declaration forms as well as you'll need one for each box. Anything that helps remind them about home is good....Eric always wants good ol' Arizona hot picante sauce and CD's. I've also sent a lot of books and magazines that he can sahre with the guys in the shop (car, bike. etc.). One of our members, Paige, makes jerkey that she send all over the place and I'm sending tons of Girl Scout cookies next week.

just some things to think about! And you'll want some of my labels I'm making for folks so check out my blog about the adhesive labels too! Paul

Welcome to NavyDads Lowell! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun and useful as I have. Explore and make some friends, add your comments to a discussion or two, read the postings in the various groups-- even start one or two. I have! If you have any questions or concerns about your sailor and what he is going through...ask! I'm sure someone here will have the answer or can point you in the right direction to find out. I'm lucky enough to have two sailors- my son Eric is on the second half of a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Lowell this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how Jeremy is doing! Best Regards- Paul

Lowell, not a problem, take it at your own pace. I am not all that computer savvy myself. I am glad that you are here with us because us ex-hippie’s have to stick together. Let us know how Jeremy is doing and how you and your family are doing as Jeremy travels on this Navy journey thing.

Lowell, “Welcome Aboard” from one x-hippie to another. I am glad that you have joined us. Check out some of the groups and some of the discussions that are going on. This site is for you to use and enjoy. We love to talk about our sailors around here and we have been known to brag on them a little. We are also here to support and encourage each other. After all we are all in this together. I have two sons and they are both in the military. My youngest joined the Air Force over 4 years ago. My oldest joined the Navy and is stationed on the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN 72. Please thank Jeremy for his service to this great country from an old Vietnam Vet. Thank you for raising a fine young man.
