Hi, my son began BC on Tuesday 7/28/09, left from Sacramento MEPS. I live in Woodland, just outside of Sacramento. There were 7 other young men/women who left for basic with my son, if any of those parents would like to contact me, feel free.

That is so true Ginger. What I miss more with her beng in Boot Camp, is she has no email or internet access. When she was living in Sacramento we communicated alot by Myspace and Facebook. Does Tobias's ship have email?
When Chrissy gets to A school she wants to get an i-phone, and put it on my family plan, I said sure then we can call or text each other for free.

I will not be renting a car, as I would just get lost in a strange big city. I checked Southwest but they don't fly into O'Hare, I want to fly from Sacramento to O'Hare, as O'Hare is closer to the Lake Bluff where I want to stay. The problem is refundable tickets are more expensive. Linda and Vickie, Do you get refundable tickets? My travel agent said that United is the only airline that gives discounts for miltary families,- Vicky

We flew Southwest to Midway. Really easy to drive there and it kind of goes around Chicago instead of through.

Hi No. Cal. Moms,
I am having trouble finding refundable plane tickets to Chicago. My daughter's PIR is 8/21. Any suggestions on what airline to use?

Hi Bea - yea that would be great. A back up is an awesome blessing. I'll figure out how to post the event. September is best for Nevada City - things outside after that are questionable. Maybe we can come to you in October?? Then we can have both? Thank you for your prayers, the retreat in Auburn was awesome.
I read about Bowde being captured by the taliban over the weeknd. He is one of our own, from Idaho. Please hold him and his family in your prayers.

Hi Everyone;
Thank you for your prayers. I have set my retirement date for 7-22-09.The lay off will be effective on the 24th, so I was advised that to be able to keep my medical benefit (75%) of the cost being paid by the court that I needed to retire while still a current paid employee. I was put on 'administrative leave' until the 24th. So, that is why the date - to keep the medical benefit. Otherwise, we would loose that benefit. The 'severance agreement' would have taken away all rights that I had under the MOU, Policies & Procedures of the court. It is worth too much for our future. So, there we are. Thank you for your prayers. I'll be helping with Grandma & Grandpa once things get settled. Next week will be going to CalPers to get all the paperwork taken care of. Worse case I loose a couple of days pay - best case I have the medical benefit in tact.
Shirley (sailor's mother in-law) is home on mophine and as comfortable as she can be at this time. The hospital was able to rehydrate her. We understand that they will be able to visit sometime in the next couple of weeks. A lot depends on her health. He may be able to bring out littlest angel up to give his wife a break.
We all appreciate your prayers. It has been a challenge to figure this out. Your prayers have helped. My angel blessings and Navy Mom hugs to all, Susan
Our sailor is off of the Penn (sub) and switching to shore duty at Bremerton. Still a NUKE - always will be. We will see how the work changes for him - don't think I can understand any of it - but at least he will be above water for his girls~s
I am definately up for a September visit here - unless you would rather be at a restaurant. Please let me know~s

THank you for the update, I'll let the other groups know where I posted the prayer request. ~s

I was asked from the Bangor/Bremerton group (where our sailor is stationed) if there is a fund set up for Paul. Does anybody know any informtion?

Hi No. Cal. Moms,
Yes, I prayed for the young AF man.
Nevada City, CA would be fine for me. Susan, please just remind us when the date is closer. My life is a bit crazy right now. I am unemployed too, it really makes things difficult since I am a single Mom. I hope and pray that things will get better soon.
