julieR- thanks for the pic of my daughter & your daughter. I am so glad she has a firend in Chicago and thank you for opening up your home to her and all the other sailors.

hey guys.... how is everyonen doing :) i finally got some pictures of PIR posted... they are on my page so go check them out.. they don't come out very clear i noticed when you put them on this site :(--- my son called Friday to say his name was up on the board (in Pensacola) to 'book his flight home'... $720 later he will get to come home for 10 days at Christmas... i CANT wait :)... i know it's coast to coast, but goodness-- at least he has it in his accout since he's not been spending any money. haha
he's getting very bored in Florida waiting for classes- he's hoping mid January but he said we just have to wait and see. I too sent him a overnighter for a mere $82-- it's like GEESH-- he's not on a different continent here people.. but he has some of his own clothes and his ipod, dvd player,, you know all the basics.. hahaha. I told him to enjoy the sunshine and that in 3 weeks he'd be home...thanksgiving day was a rough one as it was his first holiday away from home as well as his 19th birthday away-- once we made it thru Thursday then his spirits lifted.. but he was able to go off base with about 20 other sailors to a pastors house for turkey dinner so that was nice :)
I am sad that some of your sailors can't come home for Christmas, that's a bummer... well i hope you all are doing well... hang in there mom's, wives, girlfriends :)....

We sent the phone from CA along with a list of other things. she should be getting it on Monday. My daughter has been calling from her firends phones who have verizon and is also useing her calling card. My daughter is not a shy person so if you have a verizon phone and your son or daughter is in GL. I will tell my daughter to tell your Sailor to use her phone to call home. she will be glad to share her phone. just PM me so I can give her your Sailor's name.

Yeah my name is on his account also but I paid to ship his phone to him. And by me having access to his account it will make it easy to pay for his plane ticket home at christmas. Looking for cheap rates now. FlyPensacola actually offers a military discount that is cheaper than the regular rate. Some military discounts are higher than the regular rate. What a disgrace, but what can we do except not fly with those airlines.

I didn't even think to overnight his phone to him, guess it's a good thing I didn't. I just sent it regular mail. When he went to bootcamp we put his phone on a military suspension and it won't be turned back on until the 2nd anyways, so I'm glad I didn't spend the extra money. I am now in the process of trying to find a decent plane ticket home for him for chirstmas. It's alot harder than I thought.

Thanks for the info, everyone. It sounds like it's different everywhere. I guess some of us will just have to wait to see if they get to come home or not. It wouldn't be so bad if we weren't so far away and could drive to him for the holiday, but it's a long way from Seattle to Great Lakes. Once he get's his phone at least I'll get to talk to him and text him. It cost $18.75 to overnight his phone, and it got there but he was unable to pick it up. Hopefully Monday.

LOL mine just said add it to her tab. like that will ever get paid. Well, maybe when they are paying for our retirement home. :)

Mine offered to cover the cost too but he said I have to wait til he gets home for the holiday for the money so of course he knew that I would tell him not to worry about it.
