I can see why your considering a flight. It's about a 6 hour drive for us. Actually, this will be a nostalgic visit to the gl naval base for us since my husband was stationed there for part of his et school years ago when he was enlisted and we were newly weds. We lived in Waukeagen! Ahhhh, humble beginnings. So, are you planning to attend any of the meet and greets Thursday evening?

Yes I was thinking about Flanagans but I see alot of people are going to Sarge's...so not really sure yet. My husband was also in the Navy...he is my daughters stepfather but talked about it alot to her. He is a commercial driver now and talked about driving but that is a long time to be behind the wheel even for him so even though I don't like flying we are leaning more toward that.
I missed my daughters first call because I didn't think they would get to call that soon and I didn't have a good signal.......didn't miss the second one though..we talked almost 30 minutes. It was so wonderful to hear that she was happy and didn't get sick from all the shots. She said the food was good but wasn't getting alot of sleep. How is your son doing???

I'm sure we will attend Sarges because we will be staying right next to where it will be held. Let me know when you decide so we can look out for you if you will be there... Would be great to meet before PIR! Our phone calls with our son have been short but he seemed very relaxed in this last one. It really put us at ease to hear that things were going well for him. Still no letter from him! We keep sending to him though, Like clockwork! Gotta keep the positive support and love from home going :0)

yes gotta keep that going........she told me in her first letter to send plenty of letters to help get her through this.......then when we talked she sounded in much better spirits.......she had gotten letters from family and from folks she didn't even know. She said the letter from a classmate of mine actually made her tear up and that is not something that she does easily. I have sent pics of things that have gone on around the house so she won't feel too out of touch. I also tried to send things to make her laugh. She loves cars so I am sending her an article about a Mclaren that she will love to read about. Hopefully you will get a letter soon.......it is strange to see them write in all caps.
