- Hi there!
After A School graduation, they give everyone 10 days off. They will be staying on Base until they finish Power School. Also, they will move him. He will have his own bedroom suite.
Take care,
Francine

- Kris, thank you for your response to my question about the airline tickets. I hadn't heard from anyone, but I am going to go ahead since getting your response and take care of holiday airfare. Logan said they were told that by 6:00 p.m. on the 18th they are free to go, but we can't get him home that evening. Therefore, he will fly out on the 19th with some time to spare. We are in the Dallas area.
I appreciate your comment back. This is all new to me and I am picking up the Navy language : - )
Thanks again,
Terri

Debbie - Andrew AME school Pcola said… - Thanks, Kris, I'm late answering. Andrew told us he met you all and your son, we were hoping to see you when you came out of Chapel on Sunday but didn't get to. I can't believe we never saw each other at the motel! But we were on the go the whole weekend and it went so fast. I can't remember, where is your son's A school? Andrew is in Pensacola now, waiting to "class up" for AME school.

LLovemytwosailors said… - Hi Kris, A fast attack is a smaller sub. They carry about 150 men. Their other name is Hunter Killers. They either act as Carrier escorts or act alone monitoring subs of other countries or on other secret missions. Fast Attacks deploy for from 6 to 8 months. There is very little contact with them, but the guys do get e-mails. They also make port calls. My sons sub the USS Miami has been to London, Oslo and Scotland.
Boomers are balistic missile subs. they have two crews (Gold crew and Blue crew) and are on 3 month rotations. I don't know how many are on each crew but Boomers are much larger than Fast Attacks. They have no contact while they are out and they don't get e-mails. They also do not make any port calls. Hope this helps and if you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.

- Dear Kris,
This next week is all tests, so all the recruits are exhausted at this point.
It's not only physical tests but classroom tests as well.
Oh I forgot to mention, if your flying in, the airport is O'Hara. You will need a car, everything is far apart.
That's great you did join the group of the same PIR date. You should check the groups again , and see if there's also one for the same Division and Ship as Stevens. Their children are going through everything with Steven.
You moms will be pounding the keyboards next week. The major and final test is coming up, Battlestation. The recruits like this one. It's everything they were taught, now put together. It's an all night non stop action emergency situations.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm slowly getting back into life again.
It was just unexpected, she wasn't sick, she was fine that morning. My older daughter is checking out where I can get another one, I'm not ready yet. If your curious which pet, I have a house full. My baby Rachel, is on my pictures on my page, she's the reptile.
Let me get going. Take care and God bless,
Barbara

- Dear Kris,
How are you doing? You read. Thank you. I am so heartbroken over this. I'm only writting to Boot Camp moms, I wrote my steady moms, I'm taking a few days off. I just not ready to joke around like I usualy do, yet.
I lost one of my pets, I loved her dearly. Raised her from a tiny baby.
She was four years old, her longevity was expected more like 20 years. What's eating me up, it was my own negligence.
Thank you again.
Anyway, I'll share my tidbit information on graduation.
1) Be there around 7:30 AM (ish) the security line is long and seating is limited.
2) Bring photo ID, camera, a tissues.
3) Bring a blank check. In most cases, our beloved Sailor gives us the honors of paying for their Navy pictures. Last years small package went for $140.
4) Bring a white towel for your son to sit on. Those uniforms have to stay spotless.
5) Bring some old clothes for your son. If he has the time to spend in the hotel room, he can be comfortable.
Have a safe trip. Please stay in touch.
Take care and God bless,
Barbara

- Dear Kris,
How are you today? I just hibernated in the o house. My daughter has friends over for a BBQ. Too crowded on the deck, so I stayed inside watching TV! HAHA!
I couldn't find the cartoon meerkat, I saw the other day. I could kick myself, I should've of got it when I saw it. It was movable, kept popping up. I can't remember where I saw it. I miss the show Meerkat Manor, I used to watched it every Friday. When Kim graduated, we went to the Lincoln Park zoo, they have Meerkats. Kim was so cute, she bought me a stuffed Meerkat. I named it Mozart after my favorite one.! HAHA!
With my hearing aide, there's still alot I can't hear. I do have two more adjustment appointments to go to. I still watch TV with closed caption, and I still can't hear on the phone.
I know what your father was going through. WHen you can't hear, I know myself, I just became a hermit. I only leave the house to go to my girlfriends down the block. I don't socialize like I used to.
I wish my son would be interested in the Military. He has no interest at all. It would do him a world of good.
My older daughter, I told her she'd be great in the Navy. She too has no interest. I was joking with her, with her temperment, she'd propbaly graduate as an Officer. Not only, she'd make a great drill sargent for the Boot Camp kids. The only thing is, in the morning, the barracks might be empty. The only thing she'd find are bedsheets tied together and hanging out the windows!! HAHA!! The poor recrutis would all go AWOHL under her command!! HAHA!!
That's about it for the moment. My daughter had a BBQ for her friends. Too crowded to stay on the deck, so I watched TV all day.! HAHA!
Take carea nd God bless. Have fun shopping!
Barbara
