Class 1304 - Mine got W. Virginia.  His last choice.  He's a West Coaster.....

Comment by Mark on September 9, 2014 at 2:20pm

Many of the flights from Guam require a change of planes at Narita (Tokyo); as I understand it there are a few that go through Honolulu instead, but not many, so a passport may be needed for the flights through Japan.

 B'sNukeMoM thank you for the update on  Not Da,  very grateful for remission. I will continue to send prayers to the family.  

 

Comment by William in Nashua on September 9, 2014 at 1:34pm

Thanks everyone I hope I don't see another storm like that for a while.  Lol. 

I did some reading about the microburst that hit our town last Saturday and it said the actual microburst  portion of it -- as opposed to the downpour of rain -- usually  only lasts about five minutes.  And unlike a tornado that pulls things in, the microburst comes straight down from the sky and when the wind hits the ground it shoots outward from its center along a narrow, straight line.

Comment by William in Nashua on September 9, 2014 at 1:27pm

Not Da Momma I hope you are recuperating well.

I wonder why you would need a passport to travel from Guam to continental US, since Guam is US territory and its residents are US citizens?

Comment by MOMofDREW2.0 on September 9, 2014 at 12:30pm

Class 1304 duty stations being announced - mine got Pearl Harbor!  How about yours?

Comment by Joniana (Helen) on September 9, 2014 at 11:28am

Not Da Momma -- glad to hear your news.  Hope things continue to go well.  And Mrs. NDM -- take care of yourself, too!  Sending good thoughts from Massachusetts. 

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on September 9, 2014 at 10:44am

Kedj - you had asked about Clifton Park.....I recall when my son was looking for places someone had said that Clifton Park was nice but it was a bit of a drive.....just depends on how much time your sailor wants to spend getting to/from work.  Keep in mind they work 12 hour shifts and could be getting off in the middle of the night in the middle of a snow storm!  Just something to consider......

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on September 9, 2014 at 10:41am

William - glad to hear you & the wife are ok....pretty scary weather systems going on!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on September 9, 2014 at 10:36am

Good Morning All.  Many of you here know Not Da Momma and you may have noticed he hasn't posted lately.  I've been in contact with MrsNDM and she told me that he had been in the hospital fighting a rare form of cancer/lymphoma. He is currently home and they just received good news that he is in remission. Hallelujah!

Their sailor is currently in Guam & they are working on getting his passport so he can come home for a visit.  She asked that I please let everyone know that they are okay & they will appreciate any and all prayers for his continuing remission and recovery.

I will keep you updated as I receive more information.
