I sent her favorite (red velvet) via USPS overnight along with balloons and a gift. It cost more to send it than all of it was worth. She loved it though. She said they lit the candles, sang Happy Birthday to her and ate cake. I guess it was worth it. She said the cake was just a little squooshed. Is that a word, if so it isn't spelled right. How's your girl doing?

Hi, Thank you ladies for your prayers and concern.
@ Texas Carol - you are right, my daughter has to wait for the fractures to heal or suffer the consequences in the future.
@ Stephsmoms - kindly extend my birthday greetings to Stephanie. What kind of cake does she like ?

Prescillaz I didn't know Rachel had to wait that long. I bet she is so upset. I will pray for her fast and total healing. I guess you won't be there in January now. I will miss seeing you.


Steph said she should know her assignment by the middle of this month, but it's not guaranteed till she's there. I think she said she put in for west coast.

Praying you had a great day & safe travels!

Oh, prscillaz ... I know your daughter is disappointed. However, it is much better for her in the long run to let herself heal instead of push herself and risk re-injury. I will pray for her health (and patience).

And, I'll include the prayer for patience for the sailors that have to hang out at GL a few extra weeks. I know they all just want to move on to the next phase.

Hello Ladies ! Before everything else , I'd like to greet everybody " HAPPY THANKSGIVING"

I was in Ft. Meade on the Halloween Weekend to visit my daughter Rachel who is in A-School. She is doing well in A-school, actually she was one of the Top Ten in her class. Unfortunately, she suffered from leg fracures in GL and caused her severe pain and inability to walk. Upon doctor's advised, she has to walk in crutches, and not to put any pressure or strain on her leg. it was decided that she has to stop schooling until the fracture is totally healed. She is suppossed to graduate this January, but she will be back to school again in February and hopefully will graduate in April
I would like to request the group to pray for my daughter's early recovery. She is so devastated , but with your prayers and support things will be ok.
She is still in the base at Ft. Meade.

Elizabeth, if your son said 4 day LIB it is most likely because of the Thanksgiving Holiday. He would have told you if he was grad n go. Congratulations to you & your new Sailor!

I have heard other parents talk about the sailors staying at GL to wait for class availability. From what I noted below about DINFOS course schedules he may be waiting at GL.

For those of you who have sailors getting ready to head to FT Meade go to the link above for DINFOS. There is an ACADEMICS Tab>Course Offerings. A list of classes appears for 2010. Above the list a paragraph with a link to ATRRS. Click on the link. You may be asked to authenticate the certificate. It is safe to do so. After following those directions a page will appear with drop down boxes. Fill in the boxes for Fiscal YR (2009), School Code (212), State (MD)>search courses. You can then select each course and see the details for when those classes start & end. I browsed through several and didn't see any starting between now and the 1st of the year. My son was not there for Christmas but prior to his leaving he knew the school would be closed for about 2 weeks. When he 1st arrived it was several weeks before his classes started. He basically stood watches & other duties assigned. Hope this helps.

At the beginning of the blog he says that he wrote to one of his friends who copied the entries into a blog. :-)
