Comment by Gulf Coast Mom 1 day ago

I hope it is OK I joined this group. My son is a nuke and will report Jan. 10 to the USS Memphis. That group is not very active and I am just interested in the area and Groton in general. He is from South Mississippi (as far south as you can go without going into the Gulf of Mexico so has no cold weather gear. In fact, today it was sunny and 65, we were watching the weather channel and all the snow in the northeast. We are lucky to have him home for this Christmas. He just graduated prototype 12/4/09. So - he did buy a two layer North Face jacket - but we were thinking long underwear and maybe a car emergency kit. He also will need to get new tires before he goes that way in January. Does anyone know - will he live in barracks for a while?? What are the barrack like? Any ideas will be appreciated.

Aaron called tonight, they got to CT yesterday. He sounded very happy to be there, they toured a sub today, and will be briefed on Christmas, leave, and duties/school Monday. I'm so glad they made it to CT before all this snow!

Steve missed his plane this morning and is trying to fly standyby. He is enroute to Chicago, hoping to get out ahead of the storms.

Grace i will tell Geoff tomorrow when i talk to him tomorrow. I spoke with him tonight and he sounds real good. He said that there were 6 of them that left GL togher and out of the 6, 5 of them are in the same ship. They were really down that the 6th one did not get to be in there with them. Dose any one have a son named Tony?

Nancy, I feel the same way. Not sure if Alex will come home the same days from CT as he was given in GL. I guess anxiety is getting the best of him. He really wants to be home for the holidays.
