Woot! Safe wishes to everyone who's sailor is traveling. It was rather surreal to see so many people with seabags walking along the sidewalks to the train, and there were huge mobs in several places where the shuttle busses were. It wasn't as chaoti…

Ah apologies I completely forgot that side of the base had anything except old buildings used for esoteric purposes.

As far as I know, very few people get to be phase 3 at Great Lakes. I think it is mainly for fleet returnees?

RockSlice tends to wear his NSU's on Liberty. Once because he got his phase 2 chit right before leaving and didn't want to waste travel time in changing. One weekend because he neglected to bring any civvies. (He got a free round of drinks out of th…

We got married in A-School and he's trying to get permission finalized to move into the house. It depends on how long the sailor is supposed to be there, and if there is room. They won't stop you from moving and living where you want, but they also…

It's wet and foggy in Great Lakes. It was amuzing last week to see people in what I consider "all day in the wilderness" gear. Then again, maybe they actually had some distance to travel.

Oh wow, driving straight through? Rockslice and I tried it once as a team, still ended up taking a nap on the shoulder of a highway. I hope your sailor has that kind of sense. As far as cleaning, I feel bad that there is anything here for him to do.

Okay, bars on the windows means a win in the "I don't want to live there" category.

Just because the housing is old doesn't mean that it's run-down. This house is from the 50's, but the best clue to it's age is the architechture; modern houses aren't shaped like shipping containers. It's got fairly modern appliances, and the window…

OBWife: I hug thee. The uncertainty seems like the greatest stress of all. Mentally preparing yourself for a certain duration can be much more tolerable. Any means of communication, even if it is posting to an online journal that only he can see, c…

RockSlice's breakfast museli: 11oz. box of instant barley the amount of instant oatmeal that fits in an 11oz. instant barley box. 8 oz. Raisins 8 oz. dried dates 8 oz. Almonds For "Just add water" version... Milk powder that makes 1 quart liquid m…

The latest rumor I've heard about cars at Great Lakes is that only Live-Ashores will be allowed to have them. Posted as rumor because even if it's true, I don't want to assume responsibility if it's false.

Smoke added a discussion to the group Recipe Swap
I thought I'd start a topic for recipes that are good for beginners, or possible to throw together from very basic ingredients. White sauce: I'm afraid I do this by feel, so measurements are guesses. Rue is equal parts butter and flour. Sauce is a…
