At his new command his commander told him to talk to me and make sure none of his pictures are posted for security reasons. I had to take his name off of my info page also.

Hello! My son has made it through Pennsacola (A school)/Norfolk (C school) and is now stationed in Leemore CA. He says there is alot of pollution being down in the vallley. There is also something called valley fever that iss a fungal infection that occurs more often in the summer than winter. It being a dairy farm he also says it smells.

Aloha Everyone,
Can you believe that 1 year today our recruits became Sailors for the USN. Since my son became a Sailor he attended his A school came home for a short leave and is now stationed state side. He enjoys is job but is excited for his next command. We were able to visit him a couple weeks ago. Loved his area and the base was very nice. Hope your Sailors are all safe. Proud to be a Navy Mom, Tracy

I hear they have so many recruits and new sailors. Probably because of the ecomony. Is he in Pensacola? I heard they have a backlog. Aaron told me everyone is being really careful -they don't want anyone to have an excuse to sent them home. They are so full they have a low tolerance for screw ups. Is your son bored? Once he gets going he will be busy. Hope he starts soon. I'm glad Aaron is almost done- he will be home for a visit before he goes to his permanent station.

My son David starts his A School classes today Monday after having waited three weeks at his dorm in the main section of Great Lakes. We were able to visit with him yesterday (Fathers Day) at Great Lakes and walked around the complex. It is huge and is totally separate from the boot camp area. We saw his dormintory...the clock tower...movie theatre...bowling alley...streams...it is truly amazing. David was actually happy to have had three weeks to get aclimated with his new surroundings before starting his A School Corpsman classes today.

Judy, the guys have to wait until their schedule is arranged - kind of like high school - before they start classes. Tell Rich not to be upset about it and enjoy any free time he has right now. When classes start, he'll be as "busy as an ant at picnic"!
Hugs from Houston,

No, Peggy, you are not the only one confused. When Steven told me he was a "fire man", I was a little disappointed that he didn't get the job he signed up for but I WAS WRONG! (again, oh well) The "fire men" work the engines or "fire up the engines" to get the ship moving. The guys that fight the flamage are "damage control". Only in the Navy! hee hee

I found out that sometimes it takes a while before they start a class. Aaron has school 7-4 now everyday. It's funny how some of the schools are so different. Aaron calls alot and has his laptop so I get emails. He really likes it so far-lots of new friends and keeping busy. He got to fill out his dream sheet yesterday. Told them he would like CA or FL in the States and Austrialia or Italy overseas. haha they probably wont send him to any of those places.
