O/T... Prayers for a sailor

My younger brother, Matt, joined the Navy a year ago and is being deployed to the Persian Gulf tomorrow morning. He'll be at sea for the better part of this year, if any of you folks can find the time to say a prayer for him and his shipmates it would be greatly appreciated. Please wish him a safe journey and an even safer, quick return. Thanks.

 

done and done!!!!GOD BLESS THEM ALL!!!

 

I feel you bro. My wife deployed to Iraq january 1st. She'll be there atleast 6 months. Your brother will be in my thoughts. Clay

 

Tell your brother "from one squid to another live it up, watch his ***, and wrap it before he taps it" I learned the hard way DAMN them phillipino *****s..........

 

TO MATT AND ALL WHO SERVE.

Will do my friend... wow - he is so young to keep our country safe!

 

We'll remember your brother in our prayers, as others remembered us.......Ole Pork
USN.....Vietnam

 

hell yes i'll say a prayer for not only him but the rest of the service folks. my own son(a Marine) will be going over some time in April.. God Speed...joe

 

You've got it I'll have all of them put on a PRAYER list.
GOD bless them ALL.

 

Does he know what rating he wants to pusue?
I don't see a striker over those stripes.
Best wishes to him.

 

Be safe Matt, My Brother Dan did three tours over there and I worried each time.

We are all proud of you man.

 

Josh you bet I will....
My son a Marine was in Baghdad, I know what your feeling.

 

God bless him and all the brave men and women serving our country. Our prayers are with them all.

 

I have been in the Navy for 13 years. I just got back from the Gulf last month. Their is a lot to see and do. Trader Vic's in Bahrain is awesome. They have a 6 page menu of rum drinks alone.

 

As always, my prayers are with all the young men and women werving there country and putting their lives on the line. When all the politicians are done with their posturing, it is our young folks that preserve our heritage and secure our freedom. God bless them all.

 

Yes sir... My gal is a sailor and she may leave as well this year...

 

Tell him thank you Josh.

 

god speed shipmate, I just got back and goin back over here in a bit...be safe....

As a final note, no matter how long you been out, STAY AWAY FROM THE W.U.B.A.s (what is a W.U.B.A. you ask? Women used by all)

Oh, get some Salt on that there purty uni, you look like a nooby

Thanks everyone for taking a few moments... I'm gonna print them out and send them to him so keep them comin'!

 

I know how you feel my son (career Navy, 21 yrs) has done 6-7 tours over there. Just got back the first of Dec. from the last tour. He was there 16 months this time. I've gotten somewhat used to it by now, but still worry. Good luck Matt, come back safe and sound.

 

Matt, we keep you and the rest of our military who are fighting to keep our right to FREEDOM, we pray protection, wisdom and a safe return home!! In the Name Of Jesus!

 

I did forget to add.....


SAILOR STAND AT ATTENTION WHEN I"M TALKIN TO YOU....


naw not really, the biggest thing you can do for your Bro is send him regular care packages....throw stuff that dont melt (but still is sweet) beef jerky, cup o ramen, spegetti O's, choco chip cookies (homemade damn it) a some chap stick, a few razors and some 2 ply **** paper...DO NOT forget about the **** paper, trust me he will thank you; his *** will thank you, I will thank me for not talking about your brothers *** any longer....

Damn they gave me a commision and a set o wings too.....whoo wee....been a long day

 

Be safe Matt.

 

Be safe, kick some terrorist *** and come home to build Hot Rods.

 

From a retired Chief Petty Officer (22 years). He is in good hands out there. Our Navy now has the best people and the best equiptment in the world. He'll be fine.

 

Thanks everyone! This means alot to my brother, myself, and my parents, as well as countless other Blue Star families all over the country. May all those serving have a safe return! Keep the comments rolling...

 

We always keep our military in our prayers. The wife and I are offspring of career military (Air Force) so really appreciate the sacrifice our defencers of freedom go though. My nephew just recently returned from Iraq where he was patrolling the worst part of Bagdad.
Tell your brother to be vigilant and responsible at all times and to return safe.

: Enter stage left, the Sailor in question...
first off, thank you very much to everyone who has posted and who may post in the future. Every so often we get really slow internet on the ship so I thought i'd take advantage of it and register here so I could reply.
I don't remember who said what exactly, and I don't want to wait for page loads to find out so you all know who you are as I'm replying here...
I didn't have a rate designator because they don't count you as rated until after school, hell, I came in as an E-3 but I was an E-1 until after bootcamp. but I came in as a JO (Journalist), now we are MCs (M*** Communication Spe******ts.
and as for the *** paper thing, yea, Josh, please have mom and dad mail a couple of rolls... normally there isn't any, and when there is.. you ever used binder paper? well, binder paper is nicer...
haha, alright, no more talking about ***es and the paper that is applied to them.
What was a "DS"? I think they must have merged with someone else or were just disbanded, I've never heard of that one before..
I suppose I should actually do some work now, but again, thank you all!

 

God Speed, Matt.

Untill they ALL come home...
