Hi all... Just wanted to let you all know about a great program for Recruits. CallsforRecruits.org has FREE phone cards for recruits in bootcamp. If you or someone you know is leaving soon for bootcamp, go to the website and get some phone cards for them to use while they are at BC. They can use them at A school or anytime if they need them, although most people have cell phones these days LOL. Just thought I would pass along the info....

I got back to NY two weeks ago from my Tiger Cruise aboard the USS Dewey, we were part of the Stennis Carrier Group. For anyone thinking about going on a Tiger Cruise do it! It is a once and a lifetime experience. The seas were a little ruff at times, but I think all of the 69 Tigers on board enjoyed themselves. The ship and crew members were fantastic. The experience gave me a small snapshot of what these brave men and women do on their deployments. As a proud Navy Dad the trip let me see my sailor Jessica in her working environment as a member in the air department. (HSM-71). In closing anyone who has an opportunity to join their sailor on a Tiger Cruise should go for it! You will not be dissapointed, I know I wasn't.
My sailor sent me two different addresses which is correct titile .. ABE 3 AIRMAN WHATS THE PROPER ADDRESS
To all you Navy Dads that prayed for me today, there is strength in numbers-thank you to all for the guidance, support, and help- oh and the long talks too! Warm Regards and great friendship-Simone
