Cheers Amanda! I am doing a happy dance for you! I knew he would get approval.
Josh has watch on Thanksgiving and on the Saturday after. He doesn't care, he just hopes to get a chit for the the following week to get his car and possesions from Vegas. I hope he also gets approval. I'll do the happy dance naked in public! lol

Mama C....I know, right? I am thinking the A school graduation near the holiday must be the reason for the delay. It still seems too long. I am hoping this estimate is wrong and they start sooner.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
I talked to Josh yesterday and he told me that his SLPO confirmed Power School will start in February.
I remember someone on N4M, while discussing waiting between classes, saying somehing like look at the bright side, that is all more of their time that they are getting paid while not being deployed. I guess that is something to be thankful for. -

Wow Besyleebig what great pics! You must have been so proud sitting there watching the ceremony. Thank you for the wonderful pic you took for me. Looking at your pics made me realize another blessing of going to GC. You get to meet all their friends. I hope you had an amazing visit. I can hardly wait until Power School Grad.

had a blast having Colin home for Thanksgiving, such a great visit. Especially enjoyed when he would get up at 5 am and have coffee with me while everyone else slept, something we always did when he lived at home. (mom time)! You dont realize how much you miss them being at home, untill they leave again. No matter how many times they leave its still hard, but it does my mind good to see how mature and self sufficient he is, helps you worrie less!
Hopefully his watch/duty rotation will stay as is, if so then he may be able to check out earlier at x-mas than planned! Will deffinately be home dec 20th-26th, maybe able to head home the 17th or 18th, will give us a few more days together before me and his dad head to Florida for a few days.
Hope you all had a Great Thanksgiving!

Great pic! You both look so happy!!! I havent' heard from my son in quite a while which is unusual for him. We normally talk every few days. I have no idea what he's up to and why he isn't calling or answering message. I'm getting a bit worried but he's most likely just fine and I am being a worry wart. I sure hope you get those few extra days with you son at Christmas.

Sorry to hear you haven't heard from your son. I remember one day I couldn't get in touch with my son and I usually see him on my buddy list so even though I don't speak with him I know what he is up too. I started to panic so much I left about 8 voice messages on his phone an d had my other son text him, and emailed him. Turns out he was on watch that day and got quite a laugh about my over concern. I know they are in the process of moving now; maybe things aren't set up for him to contact you. Did you see him in my pictutes of graduation?
