Hi ladies! I havent been on this site in awhile! Sorry! Robin, Amber didn't have any problems without a passport. Her regular passport is on it's way to her & she actually got 3 of the 4 boxes we sent the day before she left! So she has her little C…
Haven't heard from Amber in 2 days! Wow! Longest I've gone without emailing her!! They went on a field trip to Capo & the other bases yesterday. She was excited to get off the base!
Amber said they are taking them on a field trip to learn how to use transportation! She went out to dinner with her roomate & her friend. Said it was nice. Had a bottle of real Italian wine! Justin came home Mon. night! He's here until Jan. 3rd. Hop…
Ciao back Robin! Thanks for the info! Very interesting stuff! Amber loves stuff like that! She is actually going this coming weekend! Her email looked like she went this past weekend! She is planning on getting us each a Nativity scene! I can't wait…
Thanks Kathy! How is your daughter doing? What stage is she in now? Where's Tim hanging out at?! Is he at least in the state he needs to be in?! Is everyone ready for Christmas?!
I tried to read Amber's orders to see if it said where she was, but I can't find anything!! She did say that the nurse who picked her up had to drive for awhile before they got to the base, so that's why I assumed she is on the bigger one! She said…
We skyped for 40 minutes with Amber yesterday!! And boy, did she look tired!! I take it she's on the big base because she said theres a gym, the nex, a bowling alley & movie theatre. She had to go to the theater for indoc. this morning. What's nice…
Yeah, she starts that all on Monday. She decided to go work out instead of taking a nap! Told her that was probably a good idea! Maybe she'll meet him this weekend!
Amber made it to Naples safely! All the nurses have been so nice to her! One is going to help her get her rn-bsn the best way possible in the Navy! I think everyone would like their Sailors home for Christmas!! I won't have my Sailor, but I'll have…
I don't think she got to meet him yet; I will ask her! And I will tell her to tell him "SKYPE YOUR MOTHER!!" She will be so ready for bed tonight!! Her bed spread does look like it came out of a hotel! LOL!! Just knowing that I am going to talk to h…
Of course I don't mind. I am happy to have as many friends on this site that I can. It has been my lifeline since Ryan left for the Navy. I hope you like the pictures.
Carrie - I have been reading the entries. Don't know if I can get to the Event on Saturday, but will try. My soon-to-be Marine recruit was in Chicago for his brother's grad. He was watching the lines as they marched in and said that I would see "much straighter lines" at his grad! I have tried to work through the Marine Mom's site and this one is so much better!
Hi Carrie -
I am a proud mother of a Sailor (PIR 8/24/09) and have another son on the way to San Diego the first of November. We live just north of Metro Center. Would like to hear about your Marine graduation experiences when you get back and catch your breath. Thanks.
Carrie, no worries. We figured something came up. It will be great to meet you next month. Have a great week.

This is great! It might be really nice for them to have someone from "home" to talk to!! I sent Tim Amber's phone number. Here's Tim's - I didn't ask, but he's good with meeting new folks and won't mind. His is: 847-337-5074

Carrie,
Tim's class is 09215A, so they're not in the same class. I finally talked with him last night via text. He said he doesn't know an Amber, but then asked what her class number is. I told him y'all are in the Phoenix area, so of course, that sparked interest!!
