Leslie, it seems my son has not stopped studying since he left for OCS. Primary was heavy duty and Intermediate is no cake walk. Only now, it is all much more interesting than when he was in school.

Ditto to NFAO's comments--we are enjoying a visit with our DS in Pensacola now. So good to see him! Many of the kids moved into Austinwood apartments and seem to be having a good experience.

Congrats to all those close to winging... and enjoy your visits! We spent a few days in Pensacola last week and had a great time - I don't think I've ever seen my DS study so much!

Hey Ladies. We've gotta move coming up next year to PCola for API school. I guess we may have a chance that we stay in that area by going to NAS Whiting Field. Did your children get a place close to NAS Pensacola and see what came of it (see where they ended up getting sent for Primary). If they ended up at Whiting did they do the long drive every day, Did they find a place in the middle to start with and only have a 30 min drive each way, or did they pay out of pocket to move from Pensacola to Milton?
Thanks for the advice. I just want to do neighborhood research we currently live in a crappy neighborhood and I want to live some where safer when we move (I now know what to look for).

Sheila....Been thinking of you all week. Sorry your wildcats lost this week. My girlfriend sent me this joke and of course it made me think of you:
PHONES IN
CHURCH?????
A man in Topeka , Kansas ,
decided to write a book about churches around the
country. He started by flying to San Francisco and
working east from there.
Going to a very
large church, he began taking photographs and making
notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the
vestibule wall and was intrigued with a sign, which
read, "Calls: $10,000 a minute." Seeking out the
pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The
pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact,
a direct line to heaven and if he pays the price he
can talk directly to GOD. The man thanked the pastor
and continued on his way. As he continued to visit
churches in Seattle , Dallas , St Louis , Chicago ,
Milwaukee , and many cities and towns all around the
United States , he found more phones, with the same
sign, and the same answer from each
pastor.
Finally, he arrived in Kentucky .
Upon entering a church in the beautiful Bluegrass
region of Kentucky , behold, he saw the usual golden
telephone. But THIS time, the sign read, "Calls: 35
cents." Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor.
"Reverend, I have been in cities all across the
country and in each church I have found this golden
telephone and have been told it is a direct line to
Heaven and that I could talk to GOD, but in the
other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your
sign reads only 35 cents a call. Why?"
I love
this part ...
The pastor, smiling broadly,
replied, "Son, you're in Kentucky now. You're in
God's Country. It's a local call."
American
by Birth - Kentuckian by the Grace of
God.
And why Kentuckians do go barefoot? When
you're in Kentucky you're on Holy
ground!
