Great Post! Does the ship have an email address to send along a thank you?

I don't have the ships' address.This was forwarded to me by an old shipmate who received it from the TR. I'll try and contact him to get the address.....maybe some Freeper out there knows it?

Contacting Sailors Aboard TR

E-Mail

Every TR crewmember has the capability to receive personal E-mail. However, not all crewmembers have signed-up for their accounts yet. Until you receive confirmation from your Sailors, we ask that you continue to use the methods listed below to stay in touch with them.

Phone number for the ship

TR Quarterdeck: (757) 444-8651

US Mail

Send your letters and packages (especially care packages) using the following address:

Rate/Rank Full Name of Crewmember
Department/Division
USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT (CVN 71)
FPO AE 09599-2871
Sailor Phone

The Sailor Phone is a commercial satellite telephone system installed onboard TR for the morale and welfare of the crew. The system can only be used to call out, but is usable worldwide. To utilize Sailor Phone, the service member purchases an AT&T Global Prepaid Card from the Ship's Store at a cost of $20 for 20 minutes, and uses this card from one of the 30 special phones installed throughout the ship. The phone system is part of a commercial satellite system and has proven to be very reliable thus far.

There is something tangible we can all do - make sure that the young men and women on board know how much we all support them. One way of doing that is by corresponding with them. I have gotten an address from the Captain where people can write to "Any Sailor" (see below) and then those letters will be distributed to individuals on board. They are also setting up an e-mail address for the same purpose - so that everyone on board will get mail from home with messages of support and encouragement. This way, the sailors will know we are behind them, and people here at home can begin a correspondence with "their" sailor.

The e-mail address is:

PAO@roosevelt.navy.mil

The subject line should read "To Any Sailor"

Please pass this e-mail around to as many people as possible.

I thank you and those on board thank you.
