I do just love Tuesday!!!!!...although I have a dentist appointment this afternoon. I love my dentist, but I feel like I spend a lot of time there considering I so much brushing

Comment by Chipmunk on Thursday

Seahawks12 - Congratulations to your sailor!! Completing the pipeline is a great accomplishment!  I hope his orders are for a ship / location that was on his top list. 

Gwen - Yes, we do get spoiled during those times of T-track. Power School is set up like A school; however, they will be studying three subjects at once versus 1 as I recall. And if I remember correctly all the rates will be studying together so they help each other out with the subjects they are stronger in. 

Momof1 - Enjoy your visit!!

ProudMomma - Your trip sounds like it was very enjoyable and relaxing!!

One of the perks of being in Michigan now is I get to go to Oli’s soccer every Saturday!

Spent a week in San Diego at the end of April. Love. Love. LOVE San Diego!! And we stayed right across from North Island and enjoyed many warships entering and exiting! Love it there!

Power school was the most difficult for B!  A school was the easiest and he enjoyed prototype the most!

Comment by Momof1 on May 20, 2026 at 8:48am

Such exciting times indeed! My sailor gets to come home this weekend and I’m over the moon!! Division work starts Monday evening and he’s been adjusting to his new life in a new place very well. So so happy for you Seahawks12 and the upcoming graduation for your sailor!!! Congratulations to Gwen and your sailor for the next phase. Power School was a lot but your sailor is going to do great and yes, get in all the time you can and enjoy every second!! Hope everyone has a great day!
