Chris~Tonys&Sam's mom said… - Big hugs to you. I KNOW exactly what your feeling. Having BOTH of my sons in Iraq was very hard. Tony(my navy son) just returned from 310 days in Iraq. Sam(army) will not be home until mid August. Do you know where he is going? My prayers are with you and he needs to keep in touch with you, make that a very BIG point with him. That's what keeps me going.
You can always send me a message if you want to talk.

- How long has your son been in the Navy (and Army for the other)? My husband was in the Army as well, but didn't re-enlist (left right before the 1st Gulf War, had to return--he was IRR, and now kicks himself for not staying in!). Our oldest son, is in BC right now.

JessicaB (ship10/Div.68) said… - Thanks for the encouraging words. In the meantime I've been e-mailing our Governor, Senator, Congressman, the Secretary of the Navy (Defense) and even shot an e-mail to the White House. I've written a letter via snail mail to Michelle O'Bama. So, hopefully, we'll have GOOD news for once. On a more personal note... We've hired a DON so now I'm back to being a regurlar floor nurse, thank goodness. I've worked10-14 hour days this week and have been salary this week so I did not get overtime.:( I've missed the one on one with the residents..

- Cindi, Brad just went to MEPS for his eye consult and has severe nearsightedness and now we have to wait 2 weeks for a waiver. This waiting game is getting old but from what I hear that is the way the military is.
