I accidently inverted two letters in Scott's mailing address. (I listed the Naval Mobile Construction Battalion as NMBC instead of NMCB).
Please note the correct address is

To Sailor With Love
Scott loves connecting with family and friends by phone and email, but there is nothing quite like receiving a letter or package from "home". Don’t fret too much about what to write or send. Just as important as what’s written or sent is that you thought enough to send something, and that connection to home and to you is priceless.

GTMO Seabees Lend Hands to Operation Unified Response
An article about some of the sailors from Scott's unit who are deployed to GTMO:
GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba (Jan. 20, 2010) Construction Mechanic 2nd Class Jacob Seichter, assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 25, operates a bulldozer at the airfield at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay. The Seabees are modifying the airfield to accommodate a Boeing 747 that is offloading meals-ready-to-eat to be delivered to Haiti. The additional flight line space is an essential support for Operation Unified Response after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake caused severe damage near Port-au-Prince on Jan. 12, 2010.

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba (NNS) -- Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 25, who are currently deployed to Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, graded a hill Jan. 21 on the Guantanamo airfield to allow large aircraft unobstructed movement when navigating the runways.
The project resulted from a 747 airplane being unable to turn around at the end of the flight line before its scheduled take-off. The plane was carrying pallets of Meals Ready to Eat (MREs) that were being delivered to Haiti in support of Operation Unified Response.
When the aircraft attempted to turn, a 180-foot by 200-foot hill blocked its way.
"We're doing this so that inbound and outbound planes are not impeded by any limitations on the runway," said Chief Builder Christopher Grzebieniek, NMCB 25's operations chief petty officer.
Removing the hill prevented the plane's engine from making contact with the ground.
The Seabees were tasked with the project early Jan. 20. The bulk of the project is ongoing, but the area preventing the 747's movement was clear mid-day Jan. 21.

HooRah Seabeas!
I've been asked to serve as ombudsman (family liaison) for the additional ten or so sailors in this detachment who are not already part of the Green Bay group and I had the opportunity to meet with them on Tuesday. While I gathered family information from the sailors, Scott gave Gianna a tour of the spaces. She was wearing her Navy cheerleader outfit and kept shouting, "HooRah Seabeas!" She was a big hit!
Their Reputation Precedes Them
Gianna loves that there are sailors everywhere--even at mass. When a man in uniform went to the lectern for the first reading, Gianna exclaimed, "Is that a sailor? In church?" I guess the Navy's salty-sailor-reputation has reached pre-k!
Greetings from Gulfport!
It's been in the 30s and 40s, rainy, and windy--but, as you may have heard him say once or twice, "the sun always shines on Scott Ramsay!" Although we visited Gulfoport twice during his last mobilization, we stayed at a hotel in town. This time, we are on-base which adds another dimension to the trip (i.e. waking at 5:00 a.m. to sailors singing cadence during their PT runs).
Scott's been working long days (12-15 hours) so we've had limited time with him, but I get up with him in the morning and make a quick breakfast. Most days he's been able to come to the room for lunch and dinner. Then, he has an hour or so before bed to play with Gianna. Her new favorite game with Daddy is "tackle". What else would you expect after watching the Saints win the Superbowl from the middle of Who-Dat country.
