A few months ago, someone posted a web site that printed free military banners. I know SIGN-A-RAMA does but I don't have one around here. Atleast I don't think so.
You know - it isn't always about them deciding it is too hard. As my son was passing out with a 106 degree temp he fought being taken to the ambulance. And he is beyond devastated. Some have said only those who want it badly enough make it. Well, ...

I have a son in the Corps in Iraq...mostly he calls his wife...which he should...but i usually have to hear from her that he is okay. He does call home about once a month so im glad for that. i know they are busy and stressed but i think they forg...
Donna, both your posts are well thought and well said. :-)

- Hello and welcome to Japan Navy Moms..... I have a son stationed in Iwakuni and he is a Seabee. He has only been there four months and so far he likes it.It's great to talk to moms with sons on the same base.It was great to talk with Denise when my son first arrived in Japan because I was a nervous wreck!!! I am also going to Japan at the end of October. Maybe, we'll be there at the same time! Have a nice weekend and let me know if you need any info. Sharon

- Ok sorry I did not get back to you sooner, busy time at work for me. Here is a link to the Marine base it works sometimes but not others http://www.iwakuni.usmc.mil/index.html
You can also look up the Iwakuni Approach the bases newspaper. Hiroshima is near by and my son does a lot of weekends there. I have not been yet but in hopes of going in Sept. As I said my son is a Navy corpsman works at the clinic on base, what does your son do? Let me know what else you would like to know. Take care, Denise

- Yes I will get back to you tomorrow sometime as I am headed out to work now. I will give you the heads up that once he has settled in and made friends it is a good idea to get one of those friends cell phone numbers too, you know just in case. I have never needed to use it but do have his buddies #.
