Vinessa ...my "non Navy" son currently teaches in Juneau. He loves this time of the year as long as the snow is ok for snowboarding I love it up there and last year I hiked the Chilkoot Trail with him. What an experience. He is getting married this coming July in Juneau. My mother of the groom attire includes the fanciest "rain slicker" I could find. It is an outdoor wedding and I am sure I will need it unless it is like last summer which was very dry and little rain.

Flynavymom. They don't know their number until the day they are winged. You can take the wings to any jeweler after the winging and have the number added.

Good luck.

When is winging Flynavymom? I bet you are getting excited.

I just purchased regulation wings of gold for my soon to be winged son. On the winging gift idea group site they talk about a pilot number they engraved on the back of the wings. When I asked my son what his pilot number would be he had no idea what I was talking about. Any insight would be appreciated and Happy Holidays and Memories to all.

James- congrats to your son!
Me- I'm hoping my son can get on some jet out of Houston tomorrow and get somewhere close to NE OHio He's flying standby on Dad's dime, so I just pray for one no-show!

Waiting for my aviator to arrive either late tonight or tomorrow. He's driving from Meridian MS and is bringing our grand-dog Ninja. We can't wait! Congratulations to all the aviators that have been or will be winged soon, and congrats on the wedding James.
My wish would be that all Moms could have their Navy kids with them for Christmas. Have a wonderful holiday and enjoy the time with your families. This, for many of us, is the best time of year. There's nothing like being with our young-uns.

Mom25 - July and August are really rainy in southeast Alaska. I would think in terms of May or June. I'm hoping West Virginia has exceeded it's quota of snow for the next couple of years! Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, healthy New Year!

Way to go, young ladies! Congratulations on the upcoming wedding, James. What a memorable year for your son. I found a good book for my DIL on being a Navy wife :-). Vinessa - I really want to explore Alaska, but am thinking in terms of July or August. We already got our quota of snow for the year.
Wishing you all a special Christmas. - Chris in CO

Nancy W - I agree Tenakee is so special. After my husband retired from the Coast Guard he worked on the ferry system so we were able to visit most of the villages and towns along the Inside Passage. I REALLY miss Juneau, but the 2 feet of snow we got here this weekend almost made me feel like I was right back there!
