Danielle, check out ebay. I got a nice wooden holder that says Navy on it. I have been getting challenge coins to mark each stage of her Navy career. There are general ones, special for each rate, ones for each ship or base, shellback, E-3 etc.

A package from the Navy came in the mail today for my son. It as a "coin" for donating blood. I am going to guess that these coins are popular in the armed forces since I keep hearing about them. Do they make a special box to display them or something? It's really "pretty" and not something he wants to throw in drawer. And I'm thinking if I can buy it, it would be a nice Christmas gift.

Hey all...anyone have a kid in Class 1050? He's on the Halsey in Great Lakes. He completes school Dec 18 then home until Jan 2 (via SC to visit his girl). Happy Thanksgiving! Although we can't have our families physcially home right now, they are always home in our hearts. Blessings to all.

I just talked with my son, he told me too that A school would start next week and would finish in Jan. He said he didn't think he would be able to come home after A school because of time off at Christmas. Sounds like we are getting the same story.

My son told me too that A school would start next week and would finish in Jan. He phased up yesterday. What do you mean that he won't get to come home? I take it because he will owe them time due to the xmas break?

Talked to Justin today,, seems A school will start next week and be a 6 week class. He also said he won't getto come home after A school since he will be in the whole on leave days because of Christmas. Danielle, is your son Adam?

Hey..Justin isn't happy about the hold either, I think he was hoping to be home for spring break,lol. He is on the Decatur also, but didn't know his roomates names yet.

My son was just transferred there. He only knew it as BEQ. I didn't really understand all he was telling me, but something like his A school shouldn't start until after Christmas because they are pushing this group to finish before Christmas. So I guess we won't plan on anything until January...unless the Navy says so. LOL It's just so nice to be able to speak to him again.

Is anyone's sailor on BEQ 839?
I asked my son about Thanksgiving. He and his buddies are just going to hang out. At home he mostly worked on Thanksgiving so it's not that big of a holiday for him. Thank God he is able to come home for Christmas.
