Patrick arrived at Little Creek last night. I haven't heard from him yet. I'm sure he's processing. His phone called me twice from his pocket so I did hear his voice for a half a second. He already knows he'll be in the barracks.

Hi Lynne. My son is currently working in the Boone Clinic on base. He is in the primary care unit and loves it. I have been to the base on several ocassions. It is a big base. We usually stay in the Navy Lodge right on base. The rooms are nice and cheap!. It takes us about 6 hours to get there from New York (Long Island). My son will usually drive home on long holiday weekends so I get to see him alot (which is the best part). His orders are good through August, 2010 and who knows where he will go after that.

Carol - my son is a Corpsman as well - his C school was dive school - he is also a DMT. He goes to Fort Pickett and works with EOD units. He seems to like it there.

Well Lynne it's good to have you as a part of this group it sound like you could be a great knowledge base for us. I belong to the ombudsman group as well, but I like to get as much information as I can from every source that I can. I firmly believe in trying to get all the information. Oh, if my son got the chance to go to Italy I would be too happy. That a place that I would like to go.

Laura welcome to the group. I haven't been to Little Creek yet, but I plan to go this month, my son will be coming back from a seven month deployment. From what I've heard it sounds like a nice place. Not to big or small. I hope your son likes it there.

Martha,
He is all settled in. He is putting in for some leave to come for a visit soon. He has spoke to the Ombudsman - he was going to go to Italy for 6 months. They sent a reservist instead. I was happy he was not! April he will be going to Gulf-Port for some training. I haven't planned a trip yet, or been to Little Creek. Nicholas came home for Christmas. We are planning a beach trip in the summer - they have some little cabins in Panama City that Militrary members can rent - they are very reasonable - and short drive to the beach, there is also a very nice Military own park in Pensacola. I worked for the Navy for many years and was myself an Ombudsman. My best friend retired from the Navy in 06 still works for the Navy - she is bundle of info. Nicholas will find out Monday the dates of his leave. He is driving home
