I am so glad Justin will be able to come home for a while. Believe it or not, he will probably be ready to go back before the 2 weeks is up! Chad always gets bored after a week. We were back down at Kings Bay & St Mary's last weekend, passing thru on way home from vacation, so we got to spend a good bit of 2 days with Chad. We had a great time. Going down to see Justin closer to winter is a smart idea. The weather will be more comfortable then. We had massive storms this last weekend. Made for a long drive home. Chad will be home this weekend....his grandmother (my mother in law) passed away and we will be having the Memorial Service this weekend in South Carolina, where their niche is (cremated). Grandma had been with us the last 7 years, so Chad was very close to her. Not a fun reason to come home, but he has a lot of very fond memories, which we will all be sharing. Have a wonderful time visiting with Justin. Take lots of pictures!!!

Justin will be home this weekend for a two week leave and then on to Kings Bay, GA. I can't wait to see him. I haven't seen him since his graduation in March. I'm hoping to visit Kings Bay sometimes this winter before the blue crew is deployed again.

Lisa tell Justin that he has joined a very good sub group (Blue Crew). The Florida is a good Boat to start out on, and many of challenges to preform. He will enjoy the area, easy to get around. St Mary's is a nice place to visit, Kingsland is also nice. Just off of I-95, close to Jacksonville Florida. As Genia said VERY HOT this time of year. My Son has been on the Sub sence it was Recommisioned back in 2007. You will find yourself listening for any news of your son's sub, I know I do. If you go to the web site Kingsbay Periscope.com they have a lot of articles about the Subs (very good web site). Good Luck and enjoy

Congrats to Justin, Lisa! Blue Crew is a good bunch of guys. My son is MT3. We were just down at Kings Bay last weekend. Hotter than blue blazes, but we had a great time. Chad just finished Duty for 2 days when we got there, so we had him for 2 days. Justin will need to carry sunscreen, insect repellent, and a rain jacket!! Nothing like the south in the summer! It is beautiful down there, tho! Welcome to the Florida!!!!

My son Justin has just received orders for the USS Florida Blue Crew. He is a MMFR. He leaves in 6 weeks for Kings Bay. He is so excited. This was his first choice.

Counting down to July 4th weekend. We are going down to Kings Bay and St Mary's to visit for the long weekend. We saw Chad in April when he came home for a quick weekend. Looking forward to spending a day or two with him. Hope all is well with all of your Sons and families!
