PIR 7/31/09 GRAD N GO SAILOR

Everyone,

I was so excited yesterday - that I had a hard time sleeping Thrusday night! LOL

We left early from our house @ 5am becuase of construction/traffic ect and got to GL in plenty of time. Didn't mind the wait and chatted with other families around us. We shared stories our Sailors shared with us and then watched the video and laughed some. The time went by quickly and our proud young men and women marched in. How overwelming right! As soon as they shouted Liberty we were climbing down t… Continue

Matt was an E3 when he got to Pensacola. He told me that he wouldn't be allowed to leave until the 19th because he was driving over 3 hours away from the base and they want them to have a good night sleep before getting on the road. He started dating this girl about a month after he got to Pensacola and she has moved on to her duty station in California. We haven't met her yet but she will be coming here for Christmas - definitely sounds like they are serious. I told him that he needs to stay focused on accomplishing what he set out to do by joining the Navy. He knows that there are certain advancements he can't make if he is married and hopefully since she is in the Navy also she understands.

Michelle Matt called about noon today and said that they told him at 5:00am this morning that he would be starting ATT classes today. Did you hear from your son?

Michelle I just got off the phone with Matt and he also said that he wouldn't class up until after the holidays. Probably for the best-cramming a 2 month class into 2 weeks sounded pretty intense.

Hi Michelle! My son is also AT. They must be in the A2E program together. Matt said that he is now a Petty Officer but will not receive the pay or the bars until after he finishes A school. He said that the Senior Chief was talking about starting the ATT classes and trying to finish the 2 month class in 2 weeks before they take a break for the holidays. He was meeting with them Sunday and I haven't heard from him since so I don't know how that worked out but if they decide to do that he is going to be very busy with the class. He was so funny when he came home at Thanksgiving he was telling me about cleaning and he said that you could eat off the floors because it is so clean in there. The AT class is one of the longest and Matt said that he could be there through April or as long as September which would be fine with me because he is only 8 hours away right now.

Yes, you can donate calling card through USO, or through Molly's Adopt a Sailor when we get a request. They must be international, and I think you have to activate them first. Also, our church (Methodist) as a whole gets them at a great price to send to the chaplains to hand out.

Hi, Michelle. He graduated a school last Fri. He will be home in the morning for a few days, then back to San Diego-stationed there for 36 mos. We are going out there for Christmas. He is officially a Seabee now in Beachmasters Unit. He is happy so that is good. How is your son doing? It is good to hear from you!

Hi, tell me a little about your sailor? My son is Stephen and he is 22 and has been in the Navy since November 18, 08, I cannot believe it is going to be a year already. He is an IT and works with computers, he has a high clearance rate, he is an E2. He has received two metals already, can you tell I am very proud of him. He has beautiful red hair and is 6"2'. On his dream list he listed Italy and that is where he is Naples, Italy. We are going to go down and see him hopefully in May of 2010. I miss him so much. We talk alot on skype, if I did not have skype I would cry more then I do now. LOL He was a firemen before he went into the Navy, did a year of college and it was not for him, so he is doing great and loves what he is doing. Well I guess I told you everything. I would love to hear about your sailor. Yes we will have to get together, what part of Downers Grove are you in?
