Comment by lou2949 on May 12, 2011 at 8:17pm: Helomom....I just have to say....we were in Newport when our DS graduated from OCS over a year ago.....I use to travel to NYC, and Boston but had never been to RI. It is, without a doubt, one of the greatest places I've ever been. My entire family, (and there were many of us there) absolutely loved it and I can't wait for the day we can, hopefully, return. It had everything, fantastic restaurants (we live in Chicago with some of the best restaurants ever), shopping, beautiful scenery and wonderful, friendly people. Am very happy for you!!!! A great city!!!

Comment by lou2949 on May 12, 2011 at 7:39pm: Fantastic, MrsKH.....that's awesome!!!! Congrats to your son!!!!

Comment by MrsKH on May 12, 2011 at 7:27pm: Helicopters it is! My son is very glad to be heading on to his next phase of training.

Comment by MrsKH on May 11, 2011 at 6:32pm: Hello all you wonderful ladies,

I have been entertained by all the posts, as usual. My son finished his last primary flight in Corpus on Mothers Day. We are waiting for tomorrow to find out where he is off to next and for what training.

IsP3Orion I especially enjoyed the information about the author, and since I am in Oregon also, it is particularly helpful.

I will post about my son's assignment tomorrow.

Comment by Suzi-OH on May 11, 2011 at 1:17pm: Aw, so glad you got such a nice reply from Alvin. He was so nice to everyone at Barnes & Noble. He took time to talk to each person and talked at length with a 13 year old boy who was doing his Eagle Scout project. He got all three of his books autographed and even gave the young man his card so he could contact him once his project is finished. One lady had 25 copies of his latest book signed!

Comment by Paymaster on May 11, 2011 at 1:08pm: Sheila...Thanks for the cake update, I can now rest knowing it made it ok.

Comment by lsP3Orion on May 11, 2011 at 11:39am: Shelia - that's a little piece of info we didn't know - traveling with your "ex" huh?? Just traveling with my "present" is always a challenge, I can only imagine what that trip must have been like - the car especially :) Glad you had such a great time!

Comment by lsP3Orion on May 11, 2011 at 11:37am: Hi all,

After ordering the Fly Navy books yestereday before Suzi's kind offer, I decided to contact the author to see if he'd either be in Oregon or JAX in the near future so that he could sign my books and here is the wonderful email that I received back from him - so if there's anything we can do for him - we should:

You were so kind to write and I hope you and you son will enjoy the books. As a civilian, I was so impressed by the values and spirit I found everywhere I went – among officers and enlisted alike, past and present. In particular, I was impressed with the amazing family and community structure that supports our aviators and all our servicemen and women. I came away in part wishing I’d joined the Navy!

I’ll be in Jacksonville at some point this year, and will be in Portland and Seattle in early August, although not sure of my exact plans (other than I’m climbing Mt. Hood). I’ll certainly post any plans on my website or Facebook page.

I’ve attached an overview of the book to this email if you want to take a look or pass it to others.

Thanks so much for writing; if there’s something that’d be of interest or helpful for me to do for Navy 4 Moms, please let me know!

All best,

Alvin

Comment by Paymaster on May 11, 2011 at 8:49am: Sheila....But I got to ask how did the cake do?

Comment by Helomom on May 10, 2011 at 5:53pm: Thanks, Leslie - It's pretty exciting when all the hard work pays off for him, quite an honor. We are looking forward to visiting them in New England. My husband and I are on the hook for the usual unpacking assistance after Christmas for their move but I'm also looking forward to seeing that area next Spring or Summer. None of us have ever traveled to the Northeast, it's the only section of the country we've never seen. So much history!
