I got to talk to my son tonight on the computer from the other side of the world!!! It was so good to see his face!!!
Officer daughter is doing well!! She is making a name for herself on many levels. Son was saying he's had two aviator officers come up to him on ship and ask if he's related to her!!!

Sailor visits - How wonderful!!! I don't see my son or DIL that often, but when my son is out to sea, I usually have a lot more phone calls from my DIL. :-)
My DIL is now a Petty Officer First Class in her rate. I recently had an opportunity to rejoice with her as she graduated from her first course as an E-6. It was not without much studying and even some concern as there were computer issues when she took her final test. They were told it did not matter if they had done well the entire course, if they failed the last test, they failed the course. Needless to say, there was a lot of rejoicing when she retook the test, the computer did not crash, and she made a 98!! She called very excited, and happy to have that under her belt before my son was going to be gone again.

Heidi,
I'm so jealous!! I got to visit Hawaii last January and I wish I could go back!! 100 years ago my husband (well before he was my husband) was stationed at Pearl Harbor. He was shocked how much it has changed!! How long will your daughter be stationed there??
JayDee,
So happy you had you girl and SIL home for a visit. I'm going to visit with my officer daughter in a few weeks. Having a girl's weekend with her, a daughter-in-love and a granddaughter!!!!

Heidi that is great! Those visits are the best.
We just got to spend a few days with our sailor and her husband. It was great having them home!

I do not get on here as much as I should. It is great hearing all the news of your sailors.
Mine is in Pearl Harbor and we were able to visit her in September and had a great time. She is doing well.

Smidgee - Same to you!

Smidgee - Thank you!! Even if your daughter did not gain a lot of direction for her next step, I remind my children what my mother would say, "it is all good experience." Even negative or nonhelpful experiences can be a learning experience. All the best to your daughter!

Smidgee - wow, that went by fast! Good luck to your daughter in her next adventure. Fair winds and following seas!

Smidgee - Farewell!! Please thank your daughter for her service. My son will be departing in a few months after 6 years of service, but my DIL is staying enlisted.
Does your daughter have plans for the next season in her life?
