funny Tee....
glad that things are going well with your Sailor...and congrats on retirement!!
LOL I was checking back to see what's going on and my post was the last so I'll just say "HI."
BTW, HI Jim, good to see you, how's your son doing??
Fair Winds and Following Seas ZZ !! All the best to your Navy girl !!!
As I remember it, getting mail in the barracks is OK. Mine always got his mail but the timing was poor, like he was working when the Post Office was open. I think they have to physically go and pick it up from there. I could be remembering wrong though, it's been a while.
Hi there JAX folks! It's been while since I checked in here. Good to see there is some activity here. My son just returned to JAX from his second deployment. Evidently it was pretty awful though he's doing well in his career. He had only been married 5 months b/f leaving and was gone for 7. From what I hear he'll be going to instructor school in the very near future. He's an AWO. I'm planning a trip to see them in the next month or so and I'm retiring this month! SOOO, expect to see more of Tee.
welcome to JAX...
could be true-the only address I got was to the squadron...I send packages with that address and mine gets them...
Well my Navy Girl is off to a new duty station. I wish you all well and bid you a farewell.
Continued thoughts and prayers for the Uebel family
Ran up there for a quick overnighter for some last minute hugs. Going to miss my boy big time. Always will miss that boy but the person I left was a grown man.
