Judy.....When I got home on Friday I realized I had drip part of my lunch down the front of my shirt.  Sure hope I didn't get any on you when we said good bye.  Its always fun to get together with you and share info on our pilots.

 

Just going to stay in the house this Sunday since its to wet to go out and work in the yard.  Maybe I will get the baby quilt done that I am working on for a gift.

If your officer plans to make the Navy a career, they must do at least one overseas assignment.

Spring break has officially started, so Lemoore NAS - here I come! 

All these Japan assignments are starting to "scare" me.... My DS will finish up soon, has to still do SERE, and then we will know. It's in God's hands, I guess. 

For now, I will just enjoy the week we have together. Thinking of all the Moms and Dads as we make this journey "together" online.  :o)

AH, it is difficult sometimes. We mss them so.

I'm bummed.  DS is taking a couple of weeks off before starting as an instructor at VFA 122 but won't be coming home to CO.  He's working on his house.  Finally painting his living room that has had blue painters tape on it since Fall of 2009.  I understand but disappointed all the same.  It's hard him being an only child.  He gets the brunt of the affection.  It probably is best, as I don't believe that I could take any time off of my job right now.  While I could take it, I don't feel like I can as it is so hectic and has been for almost a year now.  I was just thinking how a year ago, I was up in Lemoore visiting DS and just coming off of Tiger Cruise on the Lincoln.  What a difference a year makes. 

 

Sorry to dump, just feeling sorry for myself. 

 

Chris, I'm so sorry that your daughter's first couple of years of marriage are going to be messed with.  Hopefully something can be worked out.  I know that it puts a damper on the wedding plans, but hopefully the separation will make the following years even more special.  We can all pray that it happens and things work out so they can spend more time together. 

 

I love this site and the opportunity it give us to vent, whine and sing our praises at how proud that we are of our kids.  They may not like it, but you know what.......?  Tough...... I love it!

 

Have a great evening ladies and James.  Love you all.

Chris - My DS is just completing his hornet carrier quals, so he is nearing the end of this last part of training. He does not have a squadron yet... hoping to hear in the next few months. That, and where he will be stationed. Earlier, we thought he would just stay in Lemoore, but now we are not so sure. I feel so badly for your daughter and her fiance! Looking ahead, that seems like a lifetime. I suppose once it is over, they might think it went fast. But this is not an easy life style for anyone. It's really tough... I can check with my DS and his wife to see if they know your DD. Hopefully, her friends there are offering comfort and support. Hang in there - they hurt, so we hurt!!

What a lot of things I miss if I don't keep up with this every day! And then I lose track and have to go back to previous pages to catch up! I cannot respond to everything, but I am feeling some relief in reading that we all seem to agree that politicians are all about getting elected, and staying true to a party is more important than just making decisions based on the good of our country and, what is near and dear to us, the good of our military. And Nancy - sometimes we just cannot even talk about such things with my son when we are together. It gets intense!  :o)  So I agree... the best thing I can do is pray. Today is election day here in Illinois....

My news for the day/week is that my DS just completed his carrier qualifications last night, and will be on his way back to Lemoore on Thursday! I am so relieved since I am heading there on Saturday, and wasn't quite sure he would be there! I will enjoy some time with my DIL, too, but I was counting on spending some relaxing time with him for the first time in over a year. Our last few visits were his winging, and then wedding - not very calm, but thrilling. Now we wait to see which squadron he will be assigned, and if he stays in Lemoore or moves again (please, not Japan!).

I probably will be off for at least the week, and will have trouble catching up again. I hope all are well, and that spring is bringing sunshine to all - here in Chicagoland, it is way warmer than all the southern and western vacation spots!

@James - maybe I will meet your son! I won't know who he is, but Lemoore is not very big, I hear.  :-)

Leslie, my son was in OCS 09-11 and it was the last class with two companies. They have slowed things down, with only one company of OCS for each class.
