Hi All - my son got home yesterday, too, after being stuck in North Carolina Saturday night. Was able to get him into a CT airport, instead of NY, so all is very well!! Wishing everyone a very wonderful Christmas and hugs to all our Sailors wherever…

Awww, that is great!! I bet he would have slept a week on the floor if he had to, just to get married!! Don't you just love them all??!!

Thanks, Jacqueline. I had a feeling he "should" know but you "never know." I haven't heard from him in a couple of days. First time for him coming back/traveling on his own in the military so I just wanted to have all bases covered. Want to make sur…

Hi, Does anyone know how it works for the sailors if there is a travel advisory in effect during their scheduled flight? The storm we were supposed to get on Sunday in CT has been pushed up to tomorrow - the same day my son is traveling home from Pe…

Hi Everyone, This may be a silly question but we are a "new" military family. Does anyone know how insurance coverage works with the sailors? I know they are covered under the military but now my son is getting everything taken care of, I assume, in…

Yeah, Kim! I'm glad he's home - everyone must be so thrilled!! What a nice holiday present - to be together again!!

My son has AT&T for his phone plan and I still kept him on the family plan, along with his brother. AT&T did suspend services for him, no charge, while he was in bootcamp and we had them turned back on again when I shipped his cell phone to Pensacol…

Jsrmom, I was just telling people here at work that my son said it was cold in FL! They couldn't believe it. We reached 65 degrees today and it was 68 degrees in Boston today! LOL It would be funny if FL had snow before we in CT did. I just hope it…

Wow, snow!! I was shocked when my son told me it was pouring when he had watch at the beginning of his week and that his pea coat got drenched! I thought it was way too hot down there to be wearing a pea coat!! LOL As long as the weather behaves for…

Congratulations to all of you whose sons/daughters are going to Japan! What a wonderful experience!

Well, Girls - I just got off the phone with USAirways (the airline my son is coming home on) to see if they would give him a discount but their price was the same as Expedias. I did express my dissatisfaction with the person I spoke to and he was in…

TeresaB - good for you for writing that letter! I was so disgusted with the response from Expedia about not giving Military discounts but I knew the person I spoke with had "no pull" in decision making. I think it's horrific and I think I may, too,…

Jacqueline - does traveling "on orders" include coming home for leave? I'm still getting used to the lingo and am not sure if this includes coming home on leave. I totally didn't even think of them having "seabags" as their suitcases!! LOL I still f…

Hi All, I'm really kinda heartbroken to hear about this "non-military" discounts; I guess we are learning the hard way. I just got off the phone with Expedia (who my son booked the flight) and found out that they don't offer ANY military discounts b…

Hi Jacqueline - wow, $10 is kinda ridiculous! I hear ya when you say that Civilians think they fly cheap anywhere - we found out that just wasn't true the minute we started looking for flights for PIR! I'm really kinda surprised.

Hi Kathy
It was good hearing from you and how Jordan is doing. We are from Indiana and Zach is doing his A school right ;across the street from Basic Training. I got home from work today and Zach's brother told me that he got an E-Mail from Zach. He said that Zach has alredy started A school this week and he will be coming home for christmas Dec. 18-Jan 2. I was suprised to hear he might be home for Christmas. He is suppose to call sometime tomorrow. I'm like you I don't like to have to pictures on the internet. Let's just keep writing back and forth to each other. I know how you felt this past week-end was great but I was real tired when we got home.

Hi Kathy
Yes I took pictures and I just got them developed today and they turned out great. I'm wanting on Zach to send me his new address or call me with it. He said that he will be able to come home either 2 weeks before Christmas or the 2 weeks after. Did Jordan say when he might be able to come home. I can't remember if you told me or not but where are you from?
