My son has found the perfect job for a teenager! When I ask him, "What are you doing?", he honestly tells me, "Sorry, Mom, I can't tell you."

Hi, Maureen - Welcome to the Moms of IS Sailors group. We are having lots of fun getting to know eachother. We have sailors at all different stages of their Navy careers - from just finishing boot camp to several years in the fleet, so we try to help eachother figure out what's going on! My son, Jim, is 19, an E-2, stationed outside of London, England at a NATO Intelligence Fusion Center, working in OPINTEL as a Maritime Intelligence Analyst....I hope I'm saying that correctly! He's been there since mid-November and is having the adventure of his life. Loves his job and England. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and hearing about your sailor. Welcome to our group -- Ellen

Hi Maureen. I hope you all enjoyed your New Years. We watched 'Water Horse' and then the arrival of 2009 in CHICAGO on tv. Pretty quiet here with no kids. Rob is really getting to know and enjoy Pensacola. He called this morning. How's Joshua? A happy & healthy New Year to you all!

Hi lady! I like your new pic. I did not want to call & bother you, so thought I'd just touch base this way. I am sure after that trip and the holidays - you are exhausted!
Heard from our Josh lately? What is going on in his world?
We went to Great Lakes yesterday and spent the day with Rob at Gurnee Mills Mall. He and I saw Four Christmases - very funny! Ended up eating at an Irish restaurant not too far from the Metra station just behind their base, where we picked him up. He got a phone the day after graduation and got in trouble for carrying it around. When he called to tell me about it - I got really worried that he may have really 'blown it'. I was so scared I called his recruiter, who assured me that alone would not jeopardize his standing in the Navy. He was put on hold because he needed one more signature (total of 3) to proceed with his orders to Pensacola but, that person had left for vacation and Rob had to wait until they retuned. He now leaves on Tuesday. He called this morning to tell me he was going with another Sailor - girl - to the Mall again - just to get off base while he had liberty. It was nice when I came home last Wednesday and he had sent flowers to me for Christmas - very pretty. He did play his guitar for us in the car yesterday. He couldn't keep it, so I just brought it with us and back home again. Today I am staying in and just going to work on setting up the printer to my new laptop. I am so not good with such things! Ha!
Have a great New Year dear. We have made no plans yet, so not sure what we'll do. Usually stay at home & ring it in with Dick Clark.
Call me when you feel up to it and we'll chat.
Hugs to you all!

We are hoping to go to Gurnee Mills too on Thursday, after we arrive. We are leaving here around 9:00 am and that IS early for Harry -NOT a morning person! Harry's not too big a shopping fan but, he'll sit around & wait. Plus you KNOW we bring him to carry the packages -ha! Plus help pay!
It is snowing here right now. Good thing -my Christmas cards are supposed to be a picture in a card except I got sick and didn't take any pics -DUH! I will try to capture a few & if they turn out - will get them started. I am so late on doing everything holiday related this year. I swear every year it is going to be different -yeah right! NOT!
I wish Rob would call - just want to touch base. Sent off my last letter yesterday and he may not even get that - depends on the postal service. I told him several times to save all letters for his scrapbook - hope he did! I even sent several manilla envelopes in a letter for him to mail them back but, I never got any. Not yet anyway.
Well dear - enjoy the city. It certainly can be beautiful. I'll touch base with you soon.

Awww congratulations, it finally arrived! I was just thinking about you this weekend and wanted to pop a note to you before you left, but I'm probably too late. I have been so swamped - my tree is still not up and we leave wednesday at 2pm. LOL. I have gifts to buy, gifts to wrap, bills to pay, ughhhhh. Please do keep an eye out for Kelly. I am writing her today and sending it express mail of her hair dryer and flattening iron for her hair for her PIR [she called and asked me if I could send it - I just LOVE going to stand in line at the post office right now], so I will tell her to keep an eye out for you. Please give her a hug from her mama if you do see her. She is so excited about air crew - I guess all she has left for that is to pass her flight physical.

I know you must be so excited and happy to be seeing Josh. Big hugs to you. I want to hear all about it and see your pictures when you get back!

Guess what? We are staying at the Ramnada Inn too!
Our 19 year old daughter Ashley will be with us. Arriving sometime the 18th leaving again the 19th.
Now Rob says he gets to come home from A school the 21st and has to be back the 4th. ??????? Rob wanted us to check flights.
Sure it sounds great - home for Christmas and all - I'm just afraid it will change again too. We had heard this before he told us he was G&G.
I just wish they could call us.
I have been off work 2 days - intestinal flu -ugh! About ready to retire for the night- very weak now . So much to do - no strength to do it.
I'll get back to you later this weekend OK. Have a good one.
