good evening, Not sure what her job description is something to do with support/ office work? She won't finish basic until December 30. probably I will know more then. She goes to Meridian Ms for school. Thanks for your prompt reply.
Ok I am still trying to learn how I respond to comments. I think I've got it this time. She is going to Yokosuka and will not be on a ship . She is studying meterology.
Marianne. thanks for the info. I will add to my list of sights to check out. Someone said that they traveled on Singapore Airlines and only paid around $500 but they also left from LA, so I am sure it depends on where you are leaving from. I would have to go from either Indy or Chicago, so I am sure that that adds to the price! It is supposed to be another great day (weather wise) in NW Indiana! kathy
Hi Marianne, Thank you for the mailing address right now. I want to be able to send him his Christmas care package of baked goods. Thank you again now I jsut have to obtain the APO and I will be set.
Hi Everyone,
I have a daughter about the USS Essex and is in training for Damage Control. Has anyone heard about the earthquake? Marianne, I wonder if your daughter and mine know each other.
i didn't know if it was more likely or not.. i hope not :( i am not sure when our wedding will be.. he wants the weekend before Christmas, but he has to be aproved to be married by the NFAFS.. So i don't want to set a date till I know for sure.. we were supposed to be married Sept 4th.. but we had a rough patch.. things are really great now (THANKS NAVY) and I can't wait but.. yes I send at least 3 letters a day if not more.. morning, afternoon, and before bed. plus i send pictures in really cool collages, and pages with my lipstick kisses, and lyrics, and "real world updates" like when kanye dissed taylor swift on stage and his tennessee titans scores.. I hope i make it to PIR in november.. just one thing that might stop me.. :( baby is due nov 10th.. 4 days after PIR.. I hope he comes early.
I asked Erik about the Navy Ball and he said they were told while they were out at sea that it was $50.00 and then by the time they got back to port the tickets had went up to $80.00. He said if he had a girl friend he would probably go, but I guess he isn't. Hope your daughter has a good time.
Hi Marianne - Thanks for sending me a message. The pictures of your kids when they were little are adorable. How is your daughter doing? Does she like the Navy? Apparently I said something I shouldn't have on Michigan Moms according to Uli, but on the Officer Site and OCS Site, we speak of our sons or daughters ships and where they are sationed. I hardly ever write anything so it was a real slap. I've been married to my husband for 29 years and our son Erik who is the officer (graduated OCS May 09) is 28. After graduating from college and working at a dead end job he decided to apply to OCS and got accepted. When he calls home he is always so excited, so even though I miss him that makes me feel good. Write back and let me know about your daughter. Does she like Japan. A guy who graduated OCS with my son is stationed there also.
Hi there and welcome to Navy for Mom's. Are your children beautiful or what? Is that old picture of your mom and dad? My dad was in the Navy also. My son went to Milford High. Many of his friends went to Lutheran High Westland though. He graduated in 2003. He is just about ready to receive his Naval Aviator Wings, sometime in November at NAS Kingsville TX. I can't wait!! Congrats on your daughter! You must be so proud of her =)

Hi Marianne, he is currently undesignated and working to secure his rating of SK. He has been doing that for a year but needed to retake the asvab...again..to get the score needed. That is the job he really wants badly. I look at the Blue Ridge website all the time but he tells me he really wont ever be on there because he is part of the Comseventh Fleet not really the Blue Ridge. They just work on there and go out when the ship does...but I love looking at the website to see what is going on with the ship. To me it is all so cool! What about your daughter. What does she do?
Dear Marianne, I noticed that your daughter is now in Japan. I was wondering if you could tell me a little about what I should expect now that my son is in A-school in Pensacola. He's finished ATT and AWAT, but is waiting to start a-school. He said he hopes to be finished with a-school in December, but that looks like it might not happen since he hasn't even started the actual school yet. I'm mainly wondering how much you get to hear from your daughter now that she's deployed? Does she have a cell phone or does she call from phones on the ship? Or do you mainly communicate through emails? It's been easier for me now that my son is out of boot camp and is in phase 2, almost phase 3 in Pensacola. I like being able to call his cell phone, text him and get emails from him, but I was just wondering if that will still happen when he's deployed. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
Hey,
I tried to send you a PM but it kept timing out. I don't want to post this in a public arena but there is nothing to worry about. Our sailors are OK. I will keep trying to send a message.

Hey Marianne, one way or another we're going to see Rud! I get on line at work, we have high speed here so it's alot better, we dont have internet at home since we live out in the boonies and theres nothing but slo-mo available to us. How's KT doing? how long has she been in the Navy?
Oh and I think Rud will be back in Sasebo after training in Pensacola, still trying to figure out how to fit in his luggage so I can go with him!! I'd love to figure out how to get pictures on this site I dont have a computer of my own but my daughter has pics on her face book page if I could figue out how to transfer from one web site to another!! Then everyone could see what Rud looks like...(and not just a figure of my imagination!)
Hey Marianne, I just noticed that you sent me a comment!!( Aug 17th!) I'm still getting used to this web site and never know where to start, Sorry I havent responded!! Any way you say your daughter may have had a "rudger" siting!! lol Hope you and yours are doing well!!
Hi, sorry its taken me so long to get back, I'm still figuring this site out!! Thats what he was talking about..Cranking..I thought he had a drug problem!lol He was in the kitchen doing something there..He's glad to be back in port!! and he's going back to Pensacola fro more training in Sept.
