Kumi, you should tell him to check in to space a flights they are free. If your son has been here at least six months he can get EML paperwork from his command, so that he will get bumped up to category one. They wont guarantee you flights out but most people I know dont have any issues if they are flying with the EML paperwork.

Hi everyone Merry Christmas. I heard from Jacob the other day and I think he is home sick. He sounds really depressed. He don't know many people over in Guam and I feel so bad that I can't be there. He got a car off someone who just left and because of bad tires he messed up his car a little bit now among other things I am feeling so bad I can't be there. He is 21 and This is his 1st Christmas away from home and I just hope he will get through this holiday season.

My daughter called me last night - 10 pm Chicago time - just to be the first to wish me "Happy Thanksgiving". Since it was mid-afternoon in Guam, they had already been to one friend's house and had 2 more to go to - three potluck Thanksgiving dinners in one day!

They have groups of Sailors get together at someones house and have Pot Luck Thanksgiving dinner. My daughter and son-n-law have been invited to a few of the Thanksgiving dinners. I hope everyone here has a great and safe Thanksgiving.

The USO has a big Thanksgiving dinner for any service member or dependent who wants to come.

Andrea like David and Kathi said unless he wants to be declared unfit for duty he is going to have to deal with it. Has he started getting off base yet? There are SO many activities for the single sailors that are free or cheap. About the job thing that is pretty normal. My husband went to school for almost 2 years to do his job and got stuck on kitchen duty for the 1st 6 months after he arrived at his duty station. The point of giving you a crap job is to build character. Now 7 years later he is at a new command and they are doing the same thing, he is not stuck in the kitchen this time, but he is also not doing his job. The stuff they have him doing right now is boring and not the best use of his skills, but that is the nature of the navy. Guam is really not that bad of a place to live, If he has not got off base much and found some stuff to do I HIGHLY suggest it.

Hi Becky! My husband and I live next door to your son and DIL's friends Melissa & Jeff. She has a Chow/German Shep pup (with a purple tongue) and her hubby is also MSRON7. So we see your kids around a bunch, between her place (she babysits at times) and the doggy park. I actually met them one night when our neighbors had a BBQ and I had come outside to walk my pup and they came out to the front yard to say hi and play with him. And their dog (-is it Dexter or Pepper??? I get the two pits in the area confused) sees "something" in my dog Kilo and follows him closely whenever they are near each other! Actually- they would be more likely to remember Kilo - lol! Because our dog is an unusually curly black and brown fur ball that people find kind of funny for a Guam boonie dog.
Giselle- Sounds like Steven is doing a wonderful job here! How much longer will he be on island?
Gerry- That is a funny story!
