Vickie - I am counting the days now until we leave for Newport. We will be 15 strong when we get there and I plan to savor every moment! I know you will enjoy the time with your son and your family in Chicago & Arizona. I look forward to our time together this Christmas before my children scatter again. Thank you so much for your help!

Merry Christmas!!

SMV - I'm so glad to hear that our suggestion was helpful to your son and his friends! That complex is very nice. My son's group of friends often had pool parties and BBQ's at the pool there. The unit that his friends lived in was very nice - much nicer than the place my son lived in. Congrats on the upcoming graduation in Newport! Enjoy those days!!! It will be the proudest day of your life:) I have so many great memories of that time for our family. Supply school graduation is also an important thing to attend, but not half the pomp and circumstance as OCS graduation.

Michigan Barb- I hope your son gets his billet soon. I know that the "limbo" is difficult. By the time they graduate Supply, they are usually ready to move on with their Navy careers.

Dee- I'm so glad to hear that James is busy and enjoying SD. What's not to enjoy there?? (Other than not having a place to live.) My son has 2 good friends from high school who live in SD. Do you want me to contact them and ask them if they have rooms they can rent to a Navy Ensign? They both own homes there. Enjoy your family vacation to SD! You'll love it!! Will this be your first trip there?

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! I am going to see my son Peter in 2 weeks. Our family is all flying to Chicago to visit my family (pre-Christmas trip) and he is meeting us there for the weekend. Then he'll be coming home for Christmas to Arizona on Christmas Eve. So...we are excited to see him soon!

My son and 2 others were able to get an apt. at The Exchange. Vickie...please thank your son for letting us know about it! It looks like a very nice place. Graduation is in 2 wks. and they have to be in Athens shortly after Xmas (they think!) I am looking forward to going to Newport!!!!

Hello All. My son is currently living in The Lodge in Athens. He likes it...lots going on. He graduated from Supply School mid-Nov....through some snafus he doesn't have an assignment yet....probably won't until after the holidays. He likes Athens so it's no big deal, other than he'd like to know where he's going....

I just spoke to my son. He said that the best complexes are The Exchange or Legacy at Jennings Mill (he wasn't exactly sure of that name...Legacy and Mill are definitely in the name). I've been to the Exchange and it is very nice! Several of his buddies lived there and we visited with them when we went there for graduation. Good luck!

Vickie ~ Thank you so much for the quick response! We have done a google search and have some places in mind, I just thought someone might know the name of a complex that stood out over some others. Your son's assignment sounds like a fantastic opportunity and I will definitely let my son know of it. He graduated with a double degree in Business and Computer Info Systems and actually thought about law school before committing himself to the Navy. He has had a successful time at OCS and is looking forward to the next step. Any other suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!!
