Unfortunately we were not able to go yesterday, hope we can next year! I will check the website for the clean-up day, maybe we could go help out then. I hope your hand is much better!

Ulua....how did the wreath laying go yesterday. Did they by chance say when the clean up day is? I think I should be recovered enough to be able to go out and help by then.

Hi Nancy! Where did you guys finally relocate to? Did you end up in the GH area? Sounds like your DS has been busy, I did not realize he was coming up on his CO tour. Our DS is about half way through is XO tour working hard on this deployment. He will be fleeting up to CO in 2015. I'm not sure of the time table...mid year maybe. It has been a very different cruise as he has had the opportunity to lead a Det from the ship in addition to everything else. We hardly hear from him but his Chief keeps me in the loop via Facebook. We are currently on our annual vacation in Puerto Vallarta. Two weeks of sun and fun on the beach. Heading home on Saturday to get ready for Christmas.

Helenp: we ordered 2 from aviator gear and it did take quite awhile. We did pay an extra fee to speed it up as we were trying to hit a winging date. But they were fabulous!!! They customized them with his name, rank and plane number of the plane he soloed in. They painted the custom paint job of the squadron plane of the T45. They were able to hold the painting until we got the plane number of the second one. My son loved them!!! We will definitely order another one when he has an F18 to fly. Worth the wait.

Helenp-You might give the folks at Flywings in P'cola a call. They may have one in stock. http://flywings.com/index.htm

Hello! My DS recently started API at Pensacola, expected to finish late January. Then he will go to Milton for Basic Flight Training. His "Santa" list included a briefing stick for the "VT-3 T-6B Texan II Trainer" from Aviator Gear. It says they will expect to ship on Feb 25. Is this the norm? Are they custom made. Any advice for purchasing briefing sticks? Any other vendors that you recommend?

Good morning Navy moms! There is a wreath laying event coming up at the Sacramento valley national Cemetery, 5810 Midway Road, Dixon, CA. Saturday Dec 13th at 9;00 AM, rain or shine. My husband and I are planning to volunteer. I'm hoping to meet up there with other navy moms. Would anyone be interested in joining us?

Following up on my post from last night and some of the responses...they want to break the lease at the end of next month. The place will be too expense for just 2. Trying to find roommates for 2 and 4 months will be difficult. Plus, the leasing agency says there will have to be approvals/addendums signed if anyone else moves in to replace roommies as they deploy. Very difficult to work with :(
