Marty - What a cutie! I bet they can't wait to see each other again!
Johanna -- thanks for the insight into Groton, that's good to know. I've actually never made it to that part of the country myself and am looking forward to visiting him next spring (maybe for A school graduation). -

Cindy the spring beautiful. If he takes you on base down to the docks you can see the Coast Guard Acadamy across the river. That is a great sight, and also have him take you to Mystic. The Mystic Seaport is a great place to visit. It a whaling village.

Johanna-
I spent a year of my schooling in Massachusetts and have always remembered how beautiful Connecticut is. Last we knew, Kelly would have sub training in Groton, then could either stay in Groton, or be sent to WA or GA for electronics school. Secretly, I'm hoping for Groton. Would love to visit that part of the country again! -

Very cute baby!
A schools close down for winter break, yes it is considered leave time, they are allowed to go negative for it. I guess if they choose to stay they will be put on normal watch etc, but possible have to move to new quarters, at least they did in great lakes. -

Thanks Deb. I sure would love to have him home - especially for his son's first Christmas!

just be warned, last year was a nightmare because of winter weather conditions, alot of stranded sailors mine included. There is a group on here called Sailor rescue or something like that. N4M mom's helped alot of stranded military last year, offering hot meals, warm beds, transportation if able etc.
My new sailor has decided he will only try to come home if the weather is not bad, after what he saw his older brother go through. -
