We are looking forward to our third, yes third, winging date. Only 5 flights to go. Not even buying another ticket until it is for sure. You just never know what will happen that impedes completion. Fingers crossed!

Hello all! It's been kinda quiet on the site lately. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We were blessed to have our DS and DIL with us along with our daughter and SIL...and 9 month old granddaughter join us at our new home in Atlanta. It was so wonderful to have them all here.
DS had stories of training fighting maneuvers in Key West and in-flight re-fueling. He will be in El Centro after the New Year getting ready for carrier quals sometime after that. He is getting close to being done with all this training. He is excited to be getting close to receiving that patch!
Hope all of you and your LOs are doing well!

Looking for Christmas gift suggestions, keeping in mind the limited space while living on a carrier. Any things that your LOs are glad to have?

Hi all! My DS just got the word, he will be moving to Corpus Christi soon. He's been in Pensacola for about 10 weeks, but the apartment/housing hunt begins again. Any suggestions on housing in Corpus Christi would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

We have been visiting our DS and family for the last week on Coronado and are flying home today. Yesterday he took us over to the hangar to see his office, the ready room, conference room and the helos. DH and I got to sit in one of the helos while he explained all the controls to us. I must say it's a little amazing to see his command mission statement on the wall and realize that he is in command of 250 people and a quarter billion dollars worth of aircraft. His command tour is winding down, less than a year left so now the conversation is about what's next. DS says he won't really know much until next Spring, impossible to predict at this point. As we live in the moment, this visit was great fun. We went to the Fall Festival at school, caught a couple of our grandson's soccer games and watched our grand daughter cheerleading at a Pop Warner football game. Great fun!

JudyM - They say hello back! We love it here on Coronado. This tour has been the longest time they have been here so we have been able to visit more often. I think we will get a couple more trips in before Change of Command. Then they will be off again.

Helomom, I did get visit from DS and DIL. They are terrific! It was so wonderful to meet them. Please say hello to them for me and that I so enjoyed meeting them.
How do you like Coronado?

JudyM - DH and I are on Coronado visiting DS and family. I heard tonight that they (DS and DIL) tracked you down at Tailhook and spoke to you and your husband. :-)

Kama, you'll get used to it! We also use terms like DIL for daughter-in-law, etc. This is due to OPSEC (operational security) because it is potentially dangerous to give out names, etc. on a public forum.
If your aviator is confusing you, too, check out the list of Navy acronyms on Wikipedia. They use the terms so much that I used to feel like I was getting hieroglyphics from my DS.

Kama, DS is dear son, DD is dear daughter.
