Well Tara her roommate and a Marine friend pulled in at 5am. They are all sleeping right now. My guess is they will get up in time for a turkey dinner breakfast. They will be here till Sunday.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! Got a call from Cory. He and some friends will be eating turkey "Hot Pockets" in front of the TV, watching football. They even picked up a can of sweet potatoes to go along with it. Sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving day to me!!!

I'm hoping for that phone to ring as well. I always miss our sailor on the holidays the most. I am sure that our sailors are anxious to get back to their home port in just a couple of weeks plus a few days. They are cold....can you imagine that.....

Profile Information

About me:
I'm the Mom of a 22 year old recruit who arrived at basic training on May 1st, 2008. He was in Division 932, Ship 06, and had his 21st birthday on June 8th, during basic training. He graduated from RTC on June 27th 2008, as a member of the rifle guard, and made us so very proud of him.
I'm married to Perry, in our 28th year together. We have Martin, 22 (our sailor) and Angela who is 19. I have been a secretary for almost 30 years, and presently work full time at one of our local hospitals in the Performance Improvement Department. Before this job (I started 12/17/07), I worked only part time as our church's secretary, and had homeschooled both of our children until their high school years.

Martin was on hold from mid-August until December 3, 2008, and it was a real challenge for him to stay positive through the months of waiting. But now is in Hawaii on the USS Crommelin FFG37 in Pearl Harbor, and will be deployed in June. Finally, he is really doing what sailors are meant to do....living on a ship, and going to sea!
I am here to support or represent my:
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was proud and encouraged it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
Basic training was harder for me than it was for my son.
Trust in God, pray, write letters, pray some more.
Hurry up and wait.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Sounds like they are doing good...mine was trying some "different food" and then going to a piano bar!!! Hope they get pics while they are there!! Hope Martin's friend is OK.

Sheila: I went to the store looking for Halloween cards and came upon some really nice Veteran's Day cards, so kinda want to see how many of those I can scribble a note in and send out in a timely fashion so they will get on or before Veteran's Day...good thing card companies put out cards early especially for us Moms who have a sometimes 2-4 week window before they receive our mail out at sea. If Yankee calls, I will make sure I give a strong hint about that other sailor that needs to make a call!!
