Tha'ts wonderful rose....enjoy your time together.
Emily went to her PT session this morning and the recruiters asked if anyone wanted to ship out sooner. When someone asked when, they said "today!". All of them wanted to but it was not offered to Emily and the other nuke at their office. Apparently…
Emily has 50 days to go....Feb. 2nd. She has to take her fitness test on Thursday....crossing our fingers she passes it.
Re: the test for NUKES,
The Navy Advanced Programs Test (NAPT) is a two-hour, United States Navy, supplementary test for potential Nuclear Field (NF) Program applicants who do not qualify based solely on ASVAB line scores. You must meet at least on…
Thanks.... I will certainly check them out. I'd like to have one myself.
google Navy gifts and all sorts of sites come up with some good ideas. I'm getting an anchor necklace for my daughter/sailor.
Homesickness happens,. I think the only way through it is to just go through it. If you cave and go visit, it more or less starts all over again. I remember being homesick in college but it passed after a week or so and frequent calls home. I've nev…
If you google "fouled anchor jewelry" you'll find many places that sell them. There are a great many styles to choose from in all price ranges. Gold is pretty expensive now, but silver is still reasonable.
I'm getting my daughter a gold anchor necklace...one for myself too! lol. You can visit sites like Navygear.com - they have gift ideas as well.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone... I too have both my children here, perhaps for the last time in a while. Emily leaves for boot camp in February. Special blessings sent to those whose loved ones are already gone....keeping them in thoughts and prayers.
Emily is at 69 days. We're fine here, holding up well. In fact I think we're more stressed over her brother right now. He was accepted at the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, OH for an internship and we're trying to line up a place for him t…
I'm not familiar with the KAL...where can I find out more about it?
My daughter, Emily, leaves on Feb. 2, 2010. What is your son's rate?

Colene said… - Hi Gayle. My daughter waited 11 months to go into the nuke program too. She graduated from bootcamp 3/20 and headed to Charleston for A school, ready to start 4/6. Unbelievably, once she got there, they did all kinds of inbriefing prior to classes beginning, and somehow flagged her during a psych eval they all did. She's been removed from the program for anxiety. There have been serious budget cuts since Obama came in, and this pre-school screening is now part of the process. It would make much more sense to do this during recruiting than at A school. My daughter has spent a week being extremely angry, but it seems she is starting to come around and see beyond her disappointment now. I'd encourage your daughter to ask her recruiter about this, and make sure this won't happen to her there. The program is extremely demanding and stressful. Best of luck to your daughter!!

Patricia from MN said… - Hi gayle, Kirsten finally got started with Aschool. She finished hell week Friday and she passed everything first time and they have "disney" week this week, they do alot of fun experiences she said, but I wouldnt like them..she is prob right, hahaha. We got 15 inches of snow monday night thru this noon. Real heavy and wet. We had alot of rain with it but at least it is not 30 below!! I am so ready for spring I was shoveling and it is just to heavy. Hope the sun is warm tomorrow so it melts more than I have to shovel. How is Emily doing?

Jeanne said… - Gayle, it was a huge stretch money-wise, but I figured I'll only turn 50 once! And, it's on my shoulder, so it will be easy to keep covered when I need to.

- Gayle, Congradulations to Emily!! How wonderful..Kirsten only had two months as a depper. I know she will love the Navy. Tell her to keep up the great job and you will be one proud MaMa!! We love our sailor daughters and you will find alot of support here too. We have over six inches of snow and northern MN has over a ft...I am so glad Spring is around the corner..albeit a BIG one. hahaha

- Hi Gayle, My friends Pastor Smith and their son Paul lived in Kenora years ago, they were very fond of that place. We are having our blizzard, its like a typical snow but the wind is picking up and it will be getting bad I am sure. We only have 8 degrees. It is suppose to be 30 to 40 below with wind chill this evening and tomorrow morning. Winter!!!

- Hi Gayle, Loved your pics as well. Beautiful horse and cogies! Your daughter is beautiful, I hope she will like the Navy as much as my daughter does. She is so glad she joined. She is in Fl for aircrew, she was selected for flight engineer. She is very excited for that. She wanted the helicopter but her eyesight eliminated that so she said this is the next best thing. A school is slow because of shortage on instructors but she is hoping to start by April at least that is the start date currently. We are getting the freezing rain now..school closed to get students home and northern MN already has had snow for several hours already. I am so ready for Spring and the green grass. What is the weather like in Onterio? Hope you have a great day! Patricia

- About me:
- Married since 1987, mother of Emily (1990) and Adam (1988)
Love to knit, raise Pembroke Welsh Corgis, love horses (a passion for many years) have had 5 over the years but my heart horse was Roan..had him 30 years.
Emily is enlisting in the Navy, deferred until Feb 2010.
- I am here to support or represent my:
- Son/Daughter
- Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
- Waiting to leave for Boot Camp
- When I heard “Navy,” I:
- Was proud and encouraged it
- From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
- That with the economy as it is, Emily can still get a degree on the Navy's dime....and that she can go as high as she is able in the Navy. She'll have job security and a sense of pride in her career
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.
