Excitement here! DS has orders for returning to the West coast. He and the family will be heading to San Diego next Spring. It will be wonderful to have them in the same time zone and only a 2 1/2 hr flight away.

Any Primary Moms with kids at Vance AFB in OK?  Looks like that's our son's direction--first day of API the instructor wrote their names on slips of paper,  and the two he drew are heading to Vance. Enid, OK is mentioned in both the Grapes of Wrath and the movie Twister.  Oh my.

Leslie, I'm sure he does...maybe you can have a cake and make some birthday wishes for him, in case he doesn't have the chance to recognize the day over there...

Kathy....Just think you are now one day closer to seeing her again.  That's what helped kept me going.

Excellent, Leslie - I'm sure you're (and Brian, too!) relieved.  Alex is on his way to CC for the start of Primary...  I agree that Austinwood Apts in Pensacola are very nice and the layout is quite good if you have a roommate.

Ditto - CAP here, too!  :-)

Hi Kathy,  My son rented at Austinwood and just loves it.  They are very friendly, close to base, and not too expensive.  He's got his own apt.  Good luck!

Nancy and Paymaster, I think that's exactly what I was hoping to hear...thank you.  We're all strong women and we have raised strong children who are passionate about their career choices, they'll get through it like everyone before them and the shared misery will provide stories forever!  They are learning to have clear heads in difficult situations.  But Leslie, I feel for you, those are the visions I keep having too.  We've also spent their whole lives trying to keep them safe and loved, it's hard to accept this part of their training.  Sigh.  It's all going to be okay, it's all going to be okay...that's my mantra!  Have a great day everyone!  :)

Mine has moved 8 times in 11 years.  They are due to move yet again this June:)

 

Yes, the Navy has invested a great deal in these Avaitors, they are not going to do anything to cause them to be cut.  They just need to make sure they can do the tough stuff.  Just wait, in a month or two the will talk about SERE like its was a camping trip with a bunch of buddies:)

Hi, pedsdoc and all.... Thanks for the heads up, and I will NOT read about SERE! I just know - as "dad" said - they all get through it. My son tells me not to worry (yea, right). We had the same wedding issues last summer... they set a date right about the time he thought he would get his wings, hoping that he would still be near Pensacola, which is where they had the wedding (he was in Merdian). At his winging, he got the notice that he was to report to SERE on 6/6, but the wedding was 6/11 - he'd already been approved to do SERE after FRS, but someone made a mistake. I panicked - just a little. He got it straightened out right away. However, he was sent to Lemoore, so they had to drive across the country, find a place to live, get their belongings moved, all with about 3 weeks until the wedding back in FL. And it all worked out! Now he is finishing FRS, "looking forward to SERE" and waiting to find out if he will stay in Lemoore, or move again. I am wondering what it will be like when he finally gets his squadron, and I will not have this annual spring move to wonder about - he has been to OCS in Newport, Pensacola, CC, Meridian and Lemoore. I am sure that is true of most of our aviators... Join the Navy and see the world!!  :o)
