Made such wonderful Navy Parents, and wives and girlfriends and also one Coast Guard Dad from Oregon. It was great to meet them all. They were so friendly, inviting, and warm, I really feel so close to my Navy family. Maybe its because we have something in common, but honestly, if I'd met them somewhere else, I feel we'd hit it off then too!
The wife of the sailor who PIR'd with my son in Great Lakes has an ET wife, and she is expecting. Isn't that great news?
Everyone going somewhere different.... -

What great photos!!! The Navy and the Coast Guard together - such a keepsake that photo will be! I think Patrick must be following Claire...they will both be in Yokosuka!
-

Where is Patrick going to in Japan? Which base and ship? Claire loves Japan and we can't wait to go visit...we're aiming for spring break in March 2010...Maybe yall could join us!

on behalf of Patrick :-) He's gonna be in Yokosuka with Claire but on the flagship...USS Blue Ridge. This is the ship that the Admiral travels on.

Carol,
That is so great about Patrick going to Japan. You'll have to join the USS George Washington moms and the Japan moms' sites too. There is a lot of great info on both sites! I'll tell Claire to look out for him when they return to base. She loves being in Japan and shipboard duty isn't so bad. -

You should tell me all about Claire's Shellback ritual. He is going through that now, but will have to experience it for himself. Spring break, eh? If I catch a break and get a job I could set some money aside to do that. I can't think of anyone I'd rather go with _ except maybe Mary!!! Or Jackie. Or.... Well, you know..

Here is a few shots of the graduation from C school for CIWS. The instructors were exceptionally great!

It's been too long since I seen that photo. Nice :-)

Oh thanks for putting that where I could 'see' it Mary and yes, CCR - I know you were one happy momma. You will have to fill us in on where your son went after C school and what type of ship. It looks like the CIWS classes are small - ? I hope I will be able to get to my son's graduation, too - which his orders say will be October 24.

Patrick is in Yokosuka, Japan and is stationed on the USS BlueRidge. Which the Admiral for the 7th fleet travels on, gotta keep your shoes extra shiny on that ship!!! :-)
C school classes are small and very focused, there can be fleet returnees in the class as well. Graduation date at C school is generally pretty on target but don't make reservations just yet. I think they moved Nick's grad date by one day and there was a good reason for it.
