DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Hello, sorry I did not get back to you sooner, no internet at home.  My daughter has only been in BC for 2 weeks and they stamped on her report that she can not reinlist in the Navy or Marines.  What can she do?  She is sitting in Ship 5 now waiting to hear from legal.

So do tell, how is Kayla doing?  Dustin finally called yesterday...his girlfriend, which is fine.  She said he told her to throw away the letters he wrote the first week because he definately feels different now. (whew)  Keep me posted on activities, I would love to help with any project!  Robin

Mason is by Kings Island.  We are about 20 minutes North of Ohio River/City of Cincinnati.  Thank you for the tip about the Ohio Group.  I will look for it too.

The Navy Hymn just came on my station which prompted me to check for the submariners verses,  and found these for Kayla:

 Lord, stand beside the Women who build,
And give them courage, strength, and skill.
O grant them peace of heart and mind,
And comfort loved ones left behind.
Lord, hear our prayers for all Seabees,
Where'er they be on land or sea.

  • R. J. Dietrich (1960)

 

O God, protect the women who,
In service, faith in thee renew;
O guide devoted hands of skill
And bless their work within thy will;
Inspire their lives that they may be
Examples fair on land and sea.

  • Lines 1-4, Merle E. Strickland (1972) and
  • adapted by James D. Shannon (1973)
  • Lines 5-6, Beatrice M. Truitt (1948)

Hi Tobianne, My girl passed her run this morning!!!!!!!!  I am so excited and my whole office now knows.  Something about running two of my coworkers over while getting close to a window for the reception clued them in!!!!  Thank you for your prayers and good wishes.  You were right a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders.  She called me on Saturday so devastated and today in great joy.  God is so good and faithful.  Ellen

Thanks, now if the recruiter would give me a call back to confirm what we have figured out.  Take care and tell your daughter I am proud of her.  Had some good friends in the Seabees at Charleston.  They always seemed to me to have a lot of fun and a good job.
At 5:31pm on February 10, 2011, Ellen S. said…
She is going to be a CTN.  Going back to Pcola.  We were stationed there for a while.  Not on Corry but on NAS.  I was a CTM so I am familar with Corry.  Once she gets there she will be good I know.  I will keep you informed.

She has had a cold almost from the start and has problems running.  Do you know if Ship 6 or 4 has a name?  Thanks for the encouragment.

Hi Tobianne, Dianne P sent me to you for some help/guidance on my daughter Kim.  She has not been able to pass her run and was supposed to graduate tomorrow. Her recruiter was told that she was to be set back a week but the person who called thought she was on the Arleigh Burke.  Do you have any wisdom to share with me?  Thanks so much for your help.  Ellen S

We have all the more reason to be friends.

Tobianne,
Thank you for your kind comments. Depending on where she is there may be. If you want to PM me and let me know more details I would be happy to check into it and see if I can find something. Sometimes when the kids get away from home they really find out if they have the same faith that mom and dad have. They have to get it for themselves. God bless.

Love that song, Mary did you know, I use to sing this song, to my son, when I was pregnant with him. Very sentimental song for me to him. God Bless

So sorry I misread your post. Glad to hear that your son was in the same PIR as my husband. And yes, my husband is super excited to go to P.H. to become a CM for the Seabees. I will follow your advice to try to find out when he will have off for the holidays and to find out what to expect. Thanks Tobianne!
