Michelle said… - Hi Sue,
How are you? Good to hear from you! Yes my son called me the day after the ship pulled into Yokusaka. It was sooooo good to hear from him! We talked for almost 30 mins. We also have been texting each other back and forth almost everyday. He gets my texts right away and we carry on conversations all the time.
Yes, I missed him and his big appetite on Thanksgiving. My other son is in Cleveland, TN in school, I missed him as well. I was worried about the both of them having a nice meal. Devon told me that he had a good day, but it was not like he's used to... I am a great cook on Thanksgiving, I must admit. I go a little crazy...(smile) with cooking so much food, pies, etc.
I am hoping that he just start exploring that country and go out and have a good time. On a side note...I wish he had of chosen stateside for his first permanent duty station - maybe just getting acclimated to the Navy first, so he will be used the life before going over to a foreign country.
I asked him was he still sleeping 0n the barge and I think he is, but I'm not sure. He has his blue card, and he is on some waiting list for a room in the barracks. I didn't realize that place used to house medical victims and it was previously a morgue...wow! My son and a couple of other made a video of the barge - where they are sleeping - and posted it on his FB page. It's pretty bad looking... I do know why they feel the way they do sometimes.
I wonder do our sons cross paths since they are both AOs.

- Hey Sue,
Good to hear from ya! Your son has called you 3 times? That's great! Did he get an iPhone?
He sounds down? This is exactly how my son sounds when he calls me all the time. You know what he told me when I went to see him in Pensacola while he was in Tech school? He said he wishes things were back like they were when we lived in the house that he grew up in Maryland as a teenager. My heart dropped... he didn't cry or anything like that, but I knew exactly what he meant. It seemed to me that he was regretting joining the military, but he was stuck and there was nothing that either one of us could do about it. I just told him to hang in there because things will get better and I really believe that he will begin to enjoy being in the Navy and seeing the world. Right now he is so new to military - the rules are so tight and he is the lowest on the "totem pole" - so sleeping in the barge, having to clean all the time, etc. may be depressing for them now and it's totally understandable... Things will get better for them as they began to grow up in the military - I really believe that! They have and will continue to make us proud!(smile)
My oldest son is 24 and is in his second semester at a Christian college in TN. Another late bloomer - "better late than never." (LOL) I have a 7, 8 and 9 year old still at home. I live in Hillsborough County in New Hampshire. Where is "Great Lakes" area here in New Hampshire? This state is bigger than I thought (LOL).
I am a Contract Specialist. I came here from Maryland for this job about 3 years ago. My husband loves the area and my children are doing great in the school here. But the winters are horrifying and the cost of living is pretty steep, although it is a tax-free state. However, the Summers and the Falls are gorgeous here.
Well, take care and try not to worry too much...(easier said than done ;-)) Our boys are growing up to be men and I have to tell myself that all the time because I am not in control of his life anymore and that is hard for me to deal with sometimes.
Good Night!
