Hello everyone. Welcome to all of the new members. I've been reading and keeping up. Just not posting. Congrats to our recent graduates. One more step closer to the fleet. Spoke to my favorite Sailor yesterday. He's now, "on crew", at S8G and not liking this phase of the journey. Said he's struggling, a bit, to get check outs done. Also said hat he's getting that lonely feeling again. So he's now on his four days off and drove to Delaware to spend time with his grand parents. It's tough to hear him struggle but glad that he's equipped with ways to decompress and relax.
In fact, he just sent me a text that reads, "just got here and already feel better".
I was able to meet a co-workers son, today, who just graduated from Corpsman school and is home for a week. It was interesting to hear what other Sailors think they know about the Nuke program.
I hope you are all well and many prayers for our Sailors, Nuke, Non-Nuke, at home and abroad.

I want to send something special to my son to celebrate his one year anniversary since officially signing with the Navy next week on 8/12.  I left a Facebook msg for Mikka's Munchies that I had heard about a while back. I really liked the cupcakes that she did for someone else.  Haven't heard back yet but hopefully that will work out.  If not I will try the Chantilly Cake Shop. What kind of cupcakes did you get? 

Thanks!
