Hey Donna, nice to hear from you. I haven't been on here in months. I am glad that CJ is finished with his classes and is finally on his boat. Josh finally got his paper work to come through for his third class, but the only stipulation is he has to be on the sub for four months, which will be the beginning of May, so I guess then he will get his promotion to Petty Officer. He worked really hard to earn that when he was in Groton and they promised it to him but he had to follow up to get all the paper work sent down to Va. and he just didn't let up until he got it. He really loves Navy life and has his sites set on becoming the COB one day..
I hope that all is well with you these days. Have you been able to see CJ at all lately? I was fortunate enough to have both my boys here on leave just before Christmas and it was wonderful, even if they spent more time catching up with friend just having them home together was great.
I will let Josh know that CJ is on his boat now and doing well. Please keep in touch. I really need to get back on here and get in touch with everyone my self and I will try to do that, everyone was so helpful to me with all of this. Adam went for his E4 six months early but didn't get it, he said no one did, so now has to wait until September, but is sure he'll be fine by then.
Have a great weekend and thanks for touching base with me.

Hi Donna,
My son has not had a chance to even see Pascagoula. They are busy moving into the Makin. So far things are well. He just graduated from Meridian AZ (Aviation Maintenance).
My son is in Great Lakes right now and will be going to San Diego to be with the crew of Makin Isalnd. He is also an EN. His name is Josh and is from Nashville, so maybe your son knows him? He'll be leaving next week to go to San Diego to join the rest of the crew while waiting for the ship to be finished.
Shawn was home the next day! but in order for that to happen the sailor must have hard orders.....orders in hand
this is GREAT news sooooooooooo happy for you...enjoy the homecoming REALLY
Now...my son is deployed at the moment and will back on dry land sometime in the spring...its harder then I thought....
its all a learning experience, that makes us stronger.. I will be there when the next navy mom fall to mush from deployment

Hey Donna, so glad you will get to spend some time with CJ. Josh has moved off base with a buddy and his wife and is in the process of trying to get his wife up here. Don't know how that will all work out but I guess we will see. Hope things are well with you. I miss talking to everyone, haven't been on a lot lately. Will talk with you later, please give my best to CJ HUGS Kathie
Thanks for the congrats, Donna. We watched the graduation video last night with Josh and he pointed you and your family out to us there at the end, when he was talking with you guys. It was nice having him here even if it was or a short visit. Gotta go check on my dinner, will talk with you later...HUGS Kathie PS How is CJ making out?
Hey Donna how are you and how is your very well mannered son? Is CJ doing okay and liking his classes. I know that he called Josh, it's so nice that they can keep in touch. Talk with you later HUGS Kathie
they get their orders while in A school...towards the end...my son got his about 2-3 weeks before he was done..But some from what I have read..get them on the day they finish A school...so tell him to be prepared.
How does your sailor know where he will be stationed?
Oh and as for Shawn....He *absoultely LOVES* his job...he says
mom it is the *coolest* job he loves his shipmates and has already made some *real* life long buddies...
EN don't only work on the engines, there are alot of areas of the ship that they maintain, which keeps the job interesting.
I still can't believe I met someone that has a sailor that is an EN.
I have been on this website since late Feb..08 and you are the first one...how cool....let me know if there are any questions that your sailor wants answered...Shawn loves giving info.

HEy got your name from Molly, heard you have a sailor in A school and EN...OH how great...
My son Shawn is currently in Everret Washington...USS Rodney M. Davis...and is an EN...ask away....this is so cool to find another Snipe as well as an EN..cool
Nice pic of CJ. Thanks for asking about the boys. Josh is liking it in Groton, and can't wait to see him tomorrow, will be meeting with two moms as well. Adam is doing good has been assigned to his squadron now and his wife is there so today when I called they were planting flowers and doing yard work. So all is good on the homefront. Hope all is well with you. I miss talking to everyone. HUGS Kathie
Haven't heard anything more from Alison...she was suppose to call back with her address and has not!! We left her cell phone there in GL with a friend...but she has not called back so we can make arrangements for her to get the phone...hope to hear from her today!
Hi Donna...Ali also got moved in...she is happy that one of her roomates is her best friend from Bootcamp...she is uncertain of the other two roomates. She spent 80 dollars at the NEX on "cleaning supplies"!! She forgot to bring her address to the phone. was hoping she would call again today but nothing yet. Did CJ say how much space they have for personal belongings? Robin
awesome Donna thank you so much, they are handsome aren't they, do you know what the two medals they are wearing are for? I assuming that one is for serving during war time but not sure about the other.Josh ordered the video, but thanks again. Kathie
