Any girls have a man on the USS Shreveport right now? Excited that they'll be home soon...just looking for somebody in the same situation to connect with. And who knows...maybe our guys know each other!

why yes, yes i do, but i can guarantee that my husband doesnt know yours. my husband is in the navy and the engineers usually have nothing to do with the marines other than harrass them

lol. db's in bataan, same strike group tho.

yup! they'll be home SOON.

DH is on the Bataan, and I'm so excited, I never knew time could go so slow!

for me it's seems fast.... i dunno why but for most people the last month is the slowest. for me it's flying by so fast.

^your dh is a marine? db always complains that the marines take all their food. lol

oh the time has been flying by for me too. doesnt seem like they have been gone for six months at all. carlyn are you coming in for homecoming?

I think I agree with all of you...on the one hand I can't believe it's already been 6 months and on the other these last few days are taking forevvverrrrrrr. They'll be home soon though. I also have Marine friends on the Bataan and the Oak Hill.

Yep, he's a Marine, and let me tell you, those guys can EAT!!:hungry

unfortunately no i'm not =( i thought i was too but db said he'll be here in San diego soon right after they get back. i really wanted to be there but change of plans.

usually the sailors complain about the marines acting all hot and awesome and stuff, but our ship hasnt had that problem this time. after the sailor saved the marine. everything on our ship is also split down the middle blue/green. phones computers all of that. i havent ever heard of them talking about the marines eating all the food LOL

I have a good friend whose husband is on the Shreveport. If you'd like I can give her your email address.

My boyfriend was actually on the Shreveport when he was Navy but now he is AR.

I'm Heather's SS (obviously, :teehee) and I just wanted to say how excited I am for all you guys! My dh is deployed too and I've still got a while left to wait but I am living vicariously through you guys for now! Congratulations on making it through! It's just around the corner now! :cp

thanks for stalking me on over here SS!!!! we are at about 132 hours now! god bless the CO giving us the ok to release the date! LOL and who was the genius to decide to have all of the ships pulling into NOB pull in in the same time window????????

Nick is on the Vella Gulf...same strike group as ya'll :D
