Hello Everyone -
I have not logged in for a while. My sailor has finished training and is now an EM3 on the USS Enterprise. Mom and Dad and the rest of the family are very proud!
Big E left Norfolk in March and is currently in the Persian Gulf. This is my sailor's (Alex) first deployment and he is pretty excited about being a part of a famous ship's last deployment. I have a question for the seasoned Dads on this site. When Alex first left port we could email, Facebook even talk to him pretty easily. Over time (it has now been 4 months or so) the contact has been less and less frequent to the point that it is just a quick email every couple of weeks or so. Is that part of the "weaning" process the Navy uses to get the crew focused? Even his girl friend has called us to inquire.
As always, thanks for the input!
