Hi Lynda,
My husband just got home from a business trip and said he will have to go to Japan in January and invited me to go with him. He will be going to Toyko. He will be in business meetings all day and I would love to see my son. I saw that you just came back from Japan so I would love to hear about your trip. Did your daughter get leave time? Mike has been in Japan since June. He sounds so home sick. Joyce
Hi Lynda,
This is Kim K. from TN and I am so happy for you and your daughter Sarah were in Japan. What a wonderful experience for you both. I hope to visit our son Kurt some day on the GW too. He has been there since this Sept. '09. I could use all the direction and advice on how to plan and do this type of trip. How was Japan? Where did you stay? How much time did you have to visit with Sarah?
Hope to hear from you soon. Rest up . Happy Dec. 1st tomorrow. Sincerely, Kim K.
Lynda, I just want to say - HAVE AN AWESOME TRIP. I'm excited for you... Give her the biggest hug from the Navy Mom's and tell her THANK YOU. We are very proud of all our Sailors. Have a safe trip, take care.
Lynda, I just got back from Japan. It was a great experience. The only thing about going when they just get back is that they are all very tired. They work very hard when they are deployed and it really showed when i saw my son. He was happy we were there but i could tell he was exhausted.
Lynda ~ Have you heard from Sarah lately? I haven't heard from Berta since they landed in Singapore. Can you give me Sarah's email address so i can talk to her, please?
Hi Lynda,
My name is Julie. My son is on the ship to and he had his tonsiles out last year I think around Jan. He was on medical leave and got to come home for a week or so. He was fine, don't worry. He had soo many problems over his life time with them and none of the doctors would do anything about it. But he still gets sore throats now and then, but I don't think its anywhere as bad as before. It would be nice if I really knew if they weren't as bad, ya know what I mean? He is 22 so he doesn't always tell me stuff, but he did email last week one line that said I got the flu haven't done much love you! Wow thats about all I ever get from him. I guess he is lazy or to tired. He works in medical now so I really don't know too much about what he does there.
Well hope your daughter feels better after she gets them out and doesnt have any problems later on. Good luck and God Bless all of our Sailors!
Lynda ~ Are you sure the address is Box 34? Berta hasn't received any of the boxes that I sent her. She sent an email saying that the address is Box 31. Has Sarah received any boxes on the ship?
Berta hasn't received the boxes I sent her yet. Berta has met Hailey. That's awesome that she made the team. Berta was the cheerleader, not the player. If I'm not mistaken, when it returns is when Berta and Hailey will be moving on to the ship. Berta said they are spending a lot of time cleaning, she volunteered at the elementary school and loved it.
Thank you very much for the address. It will be the first time that she is away from home for her birthday. It seems we are going thru alot of firsts since she left for Boot Camp right before Thanksgiving. Christmas in the Chicago Midway Airport was different. She was grad'n go.
She is looking forward to going out on the carrier.
Lynda ~ I need some help. Berta will be going on to the ship on the 5th, that's most likely when Hailey will be going there also. I need to figure out how to make sure that her birthday on the 29th of June isn't forgotten. Obviously I don't have an address or anything yet for her on the ship, so I don't know if by the time I get it I will have time to send her a birthday present. Any suggestions??
Thank you so much, that means that I can send her packages starting tomorrow. It's great that there are other girls on the GW that are doing the same job. At least I know she won't be totally surrounded by males.
Hi Lynda,
Our daughter, Claire, is going to the GW and should get there on 4/17. Claire is an ET for meteorology. What is Sarah's rate? Maybe they'll both run into each other, since they are both new-comers.
Hi, My son is in Div 038 and going to San Antonion for MA school. He has to be on base by 2100 on Jan 4th. I made his travel plans (he told me during a phone call to have them made before Dec 8th - so i did it before Thanksgiving!) and mailed a copy of the itinerary to him. He had earned 5 days off, and "borrowed" 5 days. He is leaving with us on our flight out of Chicago at 6pm on Christmas Eve!!! The navy is reimbursing him for the trip from Boston to San Antonio (I think!)
I saw that you had written about your daughter's plans - and hope this helps.
Hi Lynda,
My son PIR's 12/05. I am flying out 12/04. I hope everything works out for your daughter to fly back with you. I may be able to give you some advice after I got through the whole PIR experience this weekend!! ~ Angie
Lynda,
I just noticed you live in LA. I lived in S'port for 37 years! My husband was on recruiting duty in Bossier and also ran the Natchitoches recruiting station for a while. We transferred to Japan in '95. He just retired in '06 after serving 20 years in the Navy. Good to "see" someone from home!
They are not allowed to drive till phase 3 of a school. Check out the discussion. You might have to buy the ticket now but she might be able to get reimbursed for it
