Tiger Cruise ?

Posted by Jim Beck on December 27, 2011 at 6:33pm

Sorry to ask more questions, but I really want to go on the cruise.

My son, E4, was just sent over there a month ago so he is not familiar with the how,what or whys of a Tiger Cruise. I know my new found friends will help me here.

I now have the medical form and can easily fill that out. Check.

Who might be my sponsor? It looks like the sponsor is not my son, correct?

How do I recruit a sponsor?

How do I get an invitation?

How do I get this thing moving? My crystal ball says I have two moons or so.

 

Anyone?

    Jim,  I will be on both legs of the cruise and have been on the ships before.  Make sure you duck.

    I'm 6'6" and the passageways have many obsticles for tall people.  LOL  As with you stop and say high.  Dave

    been saying that your sailors are your point of contact!!!!!!!!

    Well that was a stressful excesize. We wrote to the Yeoman on the TC cruise forms and had silence. All of a sudden my sailor blasts out all this info. Well what do you know our sailors are our point of contact. Do you think our sailor was pre occupied

     

    Anyway thank you all who have helped me figure this out.

     

    I am on the so-no cruise, going home so to speak, am six foot ten, as is my sailor, stop and say high, I think we have it finally figured out.

    My wife & I have been approved, our son is my sponsor and he got a female sailor to sponsor my wife. He turned our names in and waited for them to get back to him. This is a first for all of us, but I beleive he just went around asking questions.

    My son wrote and said we are approved, for the TC from So to No two days ago. We have not heard back from the Yeoman that we sent the medical form to. Anyone know whats up? So no "official" USN confirmation.

    Please someone whisper in my ear when you will be at the Dec 7 place.

    Hello all,

    I have an AO with VFA-41 and he is on his 2nd deployment, we are both excited for the upcoming TC. When should one start looking for tickets to HW? Since he is stationed in LeMoore I'll assume my only choice is the 1st leg?

    Thank you Dave....you prompted me to make those available in a more general way and add those to the group area.....
