Hi Kim...well I think Brice is classing up with your son too...he said they were 16 guys last week but got 10 new guys this week that had recently graduated BC...He said his graduating division divers got pushed back for classing up because a lot of them didn't pass the PST etc...he has been having fun...lol...I dunno how PTing for so many hours a day can be fun haha...but I'm glad he is enjoying it! He said one of the new guys yesterday said how hard it was and he just laughed at him lol...cause I guess they have had it 'easy' so far...the new guys that is ;-)
He says he is sore and in pain everyday...goes to bed really early cause he is tired...but that's good, he was always an insomniac at home :-)
I don't think he is coming home for Thanksgiving to see the baby be born...if he is, it would be a BIG SURPRISE cause I am not expecting it...my doc told me today that she had gotten a fax from up there with a bunch of questions in regards to my pregnancy...I guess he was trying to get permission to come home but she said she thinks its a no go...but...he is coming home for Christmas, just not 100% sure for how long...he also said if all is well he will be graduating on Jan.29 from pre-dive :-) I have my fingers crossed that he passes and will be down in Panama City sometime in February! It's only a few hours away from me :-) I just read so many things about guys failing on the last day of pre-dive...I know he is strong enough but you just never know...hope everything is going good with ur sailor and urself! :-)

Hi everyone! As Thanksgiving approaches I am reminded that this will be the very first time EVER that Jason will not be with us for that day. But, at least he will be able to come home for Christmas. Still working on the dates, but it will be great to see him. Maya, I think he classes up with Brice, so we can keep track of them together. Will Brice get any extra time to see the baby? Such an exciting time for you both. I don't really have any more news-- just wanted to keep in touch with everyone. Talk to everyone soon.

Carrie...Craig saw you LOL....He said that yall were walking together and he said "hey ______" (cant say the last name LOL) ...I ask him if he met you but he said it was in passing. I posted a note earlier telling you to give him a big hug if you met him but looks like the post disapeared ...hmmmm weird..

Carrie, I am sooooooooooo jealous that you get to spend the weekend with him!!! I wish I could, but as I am currently wobbling and about to pop that is a no go! Lol...have fun either way!!!! I stayed at the springhill for PIR and it was a great hotel! Rooms are super nice and the staff is very friendly! I got my rate at $79 a night BUT I had booked it on a special at the time...

Hey all! Haven't been on here for awhile! We are out to visit Cody this weekend and found a GREAT hotel..........Springhill Suites by Marriot! If you tell them you are here for Navy graduation you can get a suite for $90. Ours had 2 queen beds, mini-kitchenette, couch that would sleep 1 adult or 2 kiddos! Awsome breakfast. Very comfortable!!
Cody is finally getting over his sinus stuff after 8 weeks! Getting excited about PST next week and classing up! He is gaining a little weight back too......
Gotta run ... off to base to hang with the boy who has duty today!

Hey Kim! Glad everything is going good for u! Brice was saying that he is doing the PT with his graduating division divers...so maybe Jason is with him...He is not sure on his exact dates for Christmas vacation...he said they won't even talk to them about it until after Thanksgiving! And I said the same thing about the airfare going up...but like he says, they don't care and are not there to please them lol...navy life huh?;-) He also said that the VFW is throwing some big Thanksgiving feast...lol...I hope everything goes good for Jason...I have been reading up on the navy diver mom's page and see that A LOT of guys end up failing! Hopefully ours won't! :-) Brice has also been into the city twice and went to the mall with some guys last weekend...he is suppose to go again today to pick up his new MP3 player at the walmart near the mall...

Hi everyone! Well, almost a month has gone by since graduation - time just seems to fly sometimes. Maya, all the best to you later this month when you have your new little guy. Jason is a diver, too; not EOD, so maybe he will class up with Brice? I still don't know how it all works.... Jason has had ph2 liberty for a whle, and has been into Chicago a few times, and he and some of the guys took a cab to the mall once, too. Once of his friends from DEPS graduated on 11/06, and he was able to meet up with him and his family in Chicago. He said he doesn't know yet about Christmas; I wish he would find out before the air fare gets so expensive that we can't affortd to get him home! We sent him some civilian clothes, and his dive stuff from home (flippers, mask, snorkel, etc), I asked him about Thanksgiving; not sure what he is going to do, or if they just stay there and eat on base, or maybe some of his friends will go into Chicago and eat turkey at a restaurant. Talk to everyone soon - keep in touch!

Maya I am so glad to hear that Brice will be home for Christmas. Take care of you and your little one let him know that he has lots of "Aunts" here on N4M;s and give him a great big hug and kiss from all of us..Since Craig is EOD and Brice is Diver they have already started going their separate ways...please keep in touch and tell us everything!
Craig has also gotten to phase 2 of liberty and I think he is ready to class up...He seems a little distant and down lately and he says that he is just tired...I hope that coming home for Christmas will lift his spirits a little.
I hope you have a blessed day
Michelle

Hi Michelle! Hope everything is going good with u and everyone else! Brice is doing good...he started the pt part of indoc this past Monday and he was so happy to be 'beat' lol...He is scheduled to class up on December 03...and has been with the guys from his graduating division...the divers...I guess they had gotten pushed back as well?! He has internet connection in his room, him and his roommate are sharing the monthly bill so we get to chat every single day, its pretty nice, considering I can't go up there lol...He is also on phase 2 of liberty, so civilian clothes and all lol...
I am scheduled for a c-section on November 27...my lil man has decided to stay in the breech position so...15 days to go! I'm excited! Brice will not be here but he should be home for the holidays on December 13 or close to that day :-)
