Since most of the Corpsman will be staying at Camp P for Thanksgiving, do you think the Navy will put on a traditional dinner? I know J has duty that day. Just wondering.

Happy Halloween!

Liberty Buddies are so funny! We had a wedding to go to at the end of June right outside of Chicago and since J had just started A School, his buddy got taken along. To a very long Catholic wedding no less! As it turns out, the Buddy was also from Georgia, about twenty miles from where we live! They even had the same flight home from A School. Very small world sometimes! But, now J is in San Diego and his liberty buddy is in TX for Surg. Tech.

We talked to J earlier and he was in San Diego for the day also. He actually got a little upset because we're having a Georgia/Florida football game party!! I guess he thought we weren't going to have any fun since he wasn't here! LOL. I tried to explain to him before he left for bootcamp, that he was going to be the one to change. Everything pretty much stays the same at home.

J said he'll call tomorrow. He and a few buddies went to SD for the day. Sounded like they were having fun. He said he's shown his sister's pic to buddies--then he said the guys there are great but he's going to keep them away from her!! He's proud of his only sis; warms a mother's heart. Can't wait to hear about his week~

thanks all!
judy/pam - i am looking at 2 apts in Fallbrook. they are only about 20 mins from where he is on the base. he should have his car there soon so it won't be to bad. and this way it is about a hour away from 2 locations that i could transfer my work to. i hesitate to rent with others. even though i would love to try and save money. maybe if i got to know them first there is always an option of moving later. i have lived alone now for about 2 years and have a fully funished apt. so condensing isnt what i really wanted to do that much or pay for storage. plus we will be getting married in the kinda near future and dont want to sell my stuff just to replenish it again shortly there after. and you said it was in SD? it would be nice to be close to work but i would rather be closer to him. thanks though! i really appreciate it!! i will let you know if my plans change though! thanks!

Good TGIF, I've been out of commission this week back & forth to the hospital. But I have been in contact with T and he text "No sleep & pretty stressful with a lot of physical fatigue".And he personalized a text "I'm really sorry I didn't realize how much you do for me earlier in life. I promise to start making it up to you from this moment forward". Talk about maturing in the navy...wow!! Joining the navy has done wonders for my cub...He has now become the "Knight in shining armor" I always knew he could be and I look forward to watching his life unfold into great things...

Jess, Sooo Happy that you and your sailor got the time to spend together before he goes off to CP. Have you found a place to live?! I have a friend who son is a navy seal and he just left for deployment and he rented a room in a house with some really nice young adults; They asked my cub if he needed a place to live in SD that he always had a place with them, so if you wanted to rent with them let me know I could hook You up ( as the kids say)!!

Ruth, I love to hear about your cub, he is a wonderment in my eyes...a true officer in the making!!

Ruth - exciting times ahead for your cub. It sounds like he's going to have an exciting year ahead of him. Sometimes change is good!!

jesspoo05 - Wow - I remember when you first joined the A school group! It's crazy how fast time flies for all of us. J is currently in FMTB. They keep them very busy, with little sleep. He's warned me there are going to be times when he has no communication with us. He says though it has it's moments!

P-Bear's Mom - our PIR group went back and forth also abotu Battlestations, but for the most part it was when most got the "I'm a Sailor" call. I've seen some that literally post the dates and times. Yikes. I'm trying really hard to be careful what I say, which is hard because I like to talk!! So, if I slip up, please feel free to "yell" at me! The safety of all our Sailors is the only thing that matters.

Have a great Friday everyone!
