Comment by SANDY ship07div056 on August 24, 2011 at 1:54pm: My Sailor and his new wife are driving home today to do laundry and leave me the GrandKitty. They leave Friday to go visit her parents in Californina. 10 days with the GrandKitty, little sister will love this! I havent told her yet!

Comment by Hawkeye Mom on August 24, 2011 at 1:42pm: My sailor left on Saturday morning for Sasebo, Japan. Says the base is nice, and it has all the comforts of America. Downtown Sasebo is pretty awesome.

I am so happy with that response.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on August 24, 2011 at 1:17pm: Okay, you have to spell it out for me...what is ASAN? lol Nice about two years of shore duty - lucky break especially since she is in San Diego. How many years is her contract for? My son's is a mandatory year since he is Nuke.

Comment by Cindy Ship11,DIV54 on August 24, 2011 at 1:08pm: Penny, She is ASAN right now. She is finished with A and C school and working. She said she is still taking some new classes now. She has shore duty for 2 yrs and will be assigned a ship then. Originally she was going on the Eisenhower but there were no female racks available so she got her first choice, San Diego, by default. LOL

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on August 24, 2011 at 11:29am: Good for you, Cindy. Sounds like your sailor is doing very well. You say she is in San Diego? WOW, so many want to go there but can never get there. What rating is she doing there and is this her final stop or is this schooling? Always wonderful to hear where our kids are at these days.

Comment by Cindy Ship11,DIV54 on August 24, 2011 at 11:07am: Well our Sailor has been in San Deigo over 2 months and had Indoc yesterday! LOL She is getting the tour of the city on Friday and is excited. She loves the east coast. We miss her but we are happy she is doing well. Promoted to E3 and studing for the Petty Officer test. Its nice being able to breath easier because we can talk anytime!

Comment by SANDY ship07div056 on July 26, 2011 at 4:34pm: Dad - Woohoo!! Our kids are moving right along! My sailor graduates his first phase of Nuclear Power School on Friday. Now he has two more phases and a few years of more school......yuck! We've come a long way since bootcamp. Congrats to your son. Keep us posted on his progress. I hope you and your family are doing well.

Comment by DadInValley (SHIP 07 DIV 056) on July 26, 2011 at 3:02pm: Well our son grads tomorrow from A school...we wont be there but get to see him when his gets here after the drive from P-cola. He tested his car last weekend for the 3000 mile drive...no A/C. Should be an adventure. Family to visit in Dallas, Calif,,,then home.

Comment by KLP0824 on July 21, 2011 at 3:10pm: ACT- thats great to hear your son is doing

Comment by ACTmom(ship 11 Div 054) on July 21, 2011 at 10:04am: Glad to hear you are settling in good KLP. Would love to see San Diego sometime.

Sandy~ I think about bootcamp all the time, especially with son out to sea, it feels sort of like it again. Does it seem like it was a long time ago to all of you. The time is just flying by too fast! We will all be coming up on a year in no time! My son is out to sea 39 straight days so far. He is sounding better every day. He says he is sick of seeing the ocean. LOL! He was excited when they crossed through the Sunda strait, because they finally got to see LAND! Funny how you start to appreciate the small stuff, huh? They are somewhere down in Australian waters right now. I think it's so exciting to follow their journey! The ships keep great updates on their facebook pages with pics, so you really get to follow along with them. I am so appreciative of that!! Hope you are all staying cool this summer. Going to be some record highs around here the next couple of days! UGH!
