Elizabeth- that airline ticket must have been another gift from all the prayers we were saying !! With the bonus of time to spend together. Also my son will be going to Nuke !
I will for sure copy that verse, especially after watching the 2 part Battle Stations slide show. Oh my goodness.

Oh! Also, I was able to find a ticket for my daughter to fly directly out of Chattanooga at a great price on Wednesday. So, I end up getting another day with her! So happy for that!

Catmom: That verse is the exact verse that I sent my son this morning after I talked about staying strong for Battle Stations! I've been sending a verse to him in each letter. Something that he can claim for that particular day. I've just been trusting God to direct me to the verse that he may need at that time. He didn't want his bible with him because of the limited space, so I never sent it, but I knew he would need the encouraging verses. He has said they have helped him and he realizes he is not doing this alone.
Christine and Leemark we are also staying at the Navy Lodge! Oh, this should be fun!
Our SRs are in week 5. My SR sent me a questionnaire that he filled out on 6/29 saying it was 5:2 that particular day. (5th week: 2nd day)

Diannep,
Thank you. Just wanted to confirm this is Week 5.
Is their final PFA and final written test in Week 6?

Christine - we are staying at the Navy Lodge as well! So looking forward to it.
I have a request, sometime when I was surfing around on N4Ms, I found a place that recommended you send your Sr an index card to put information on it regarding (I think) being shipped out on Saturday and other info because come PIR things will be happening and everyone is excited but some information may not get recv'd. And of course I was going to remember exactly where I saw that. Well you know where this is going... so if anyone else saw it can you pass on. Thanks.
Also its not too late to order PIR ribbons !
Also to the veteran members did any of you have a son that went to Nuke school ? If you did I have a couple of questions I need to ask. Thanks.
I think that the PIR ceremony is tomorrow instead of Friday if anyone wants to watch, it really is neat to see how things will be for our Sailors !

You're welcome, diannep & korymae!!

Friends,
This scripture is so appropriate for the Battlestations that your SRs will be going through soon. Perhaps you can share it with your SR in a letter now.
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned; the flames
will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord,
your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..."
Isaiah 43:1b-3a

Jumanji: With Homeowners insurance and Windstorm, required down here, it is about $6,000/yr for many of us, some more than that. That doesn't include flood insurance, which is not required but many have. Thankfully, I have the option of not insuring since I have no mortgage, so I have "self-insured" over the years, taking those costly premiums for windstorm and saving them! But it is still scary.....
