Thanks so much for all your support. My ATO is still in Pensacola. Will finish up about Dec., that's if he doesn't got to C school.

Thanks so much for clearing up the ATI/ATO thingy for me ladies! I think I finally have it straight! B is ATI, nice to know he will be inside! My Sailor son does not go into much detail, thus leaving clueless mom wondering about lots of things!
Welcome DrewsmomDebbie!

hey MNM how do you find out a carrier's deployment rotation schedule....it that info "out there" or a "you know when you know" thingy? i am not meaning actual dates....like in months? years?
-
-
and how long are the usual deployments
-
-
How is a deployment in this field of work for the Navy? Is it usually on a ship or land?
-
-
found it...on board the USS Carl Vinson!! how cool for them!!!
-

hey Mommy! glad you got to see your girl before deployment. I didn't get to see Sailor Son before he left but his daddy went to Va Beach to be with him for a couple of days and was there when he got his orders.
MNM-you dazzle me with your explanations!! love it !!! but don't you just love my wacky spin on things? hehehehehe
oh my gosh i forgot to tell y'all....TAD finally caught up with my Sailor!! he's got a great attitude...for right now : / in fact he probably started his TAD just a couple of hours ago. he said he'll run by his shop to keep me posted via email. sooo counting down the days....this would be day ONE : /
and FYI....i keep catching the tail-end of a commercial that some financial ? company is sponsoring a basketball game on board some un-named carrier i think on Veteran's Day....have any of you seen this????

GOOD MORNING GIRLIES!!!! what a beautiful day!!!! the sky is the color of a Robin's egg.
Hello Drew's Mom Debbie and welcome to our little group here. we might be "small' but we are a "might force of nature"!
CC-seizures under control now....we still see some subtle "seizure activity" from time to time. she is 31 and also has CP.
ok on the ATI/ATO thingy....this is my way of describing it...not the "Navy way" but the "momma way"....say there's a part that needs fixing. the ATO is most likely already there on the flight deck and he/she runs out there and yanks it off and tries to fix it. ooopers... can't be fixed outside so ATO runs the part to an ATI who fixes it or gets a new part for the ATO.
ok all you ATI/ATO mommas with your eyes rolled back in your head...help me out here with CC!!! maybe one of you will post the real Navy way of explaining it.
CC-german chocolate cake? YUM!!
