Welcome Gary and thanks for the very nice comment. Good Luck to your Sailor for his schooling in SD. Has he finished boot camp yet? Or is he just waiting for his school to start?

Tell him Thank You for Serving from me.

A Christmas wish to all of you LADIES in the Hawaii group. I too haven't been active these past few weeks. I am a Dad whose son Nicholas is scheduled to be in Hawaii on the 20th of May. He is currently awaiting shipment to San Diego for VLS school starting on 01/Feb/10.

Vee who is a wonderful friend of mine has been so helpful in my journey through my sons NAVAL career. Her grandson and my son are both GM's who became friends in Great Lakes. Both will be stationed on the U.S.S Lake Erie.

I am looking forward to receiving much needed help and guidance from all of you and wish to thank you for allowing me to be a member of this wonderful group. May you all have wonderful holidays and a beautiful New Year. I wish to extend the best to all of your sailors and wish them health and safety throughout there careers.
Gary T.

Yes, I watched Crommelin and O'Kane pull in this morning. Welcome back from a job well done.

I hope all 10 of them were very muscled and nice looking!!! LOL

I don't mind waves but 40 ft. is a little much. Hopefully they will be more like 20 when I am there! If not, at least I will get to see some good looking (I hope) surfers!!!!!!! My husband and other son will be busy looking at the women so I deserve some nice sights too....don't you think?

Oh Rhonda, the waves will still be there when you get there....the big Surfs are in the winter in Hawaii:-) They may not always be 40 ft but they will be there. Winter is Surf Season. You have to be very careful in the ocean there as those waves are fierce. I was at Sandy Beach last time I was there just walking along the beach, wetting my feet, and this wave came from nowhere and knocked me over. It took 10 guys (hush Dawn) to pull me out of the water. Of course, Ashley was on the beach hysterical:-(

Pat,
I don't know if I could even stand to look at those waves......I have a fear of heights and claustraphobia (sp?)! Tthe thought of all that water on top of me takes my breath away. It is beautiful, but I hope they are not that big when I get to Honolulu in a couple of weeks!!!

And yes, my son is on a submarine, but I try not to think about the closed small space and the unknown amount of water surrounding the sub when at sea. If I think about it too much, I lose my breath. As long as he is happy I am okay with it and, when he first joined someone told me a sub is the safest place to be right now. That is what got me through the first year!
