I am setting up a classroom this morning, Then taking my daughter shopping for college. Just over a week and we will be moving her into her dorm :-( I am probably going to be needing all of you for support while I am offering support to you. I hope that's okay with y'all :-)

Comment by Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on August 8, 2012 at 8:13am: diannep, by any chance do you know anyone who stayed at the Quality Inn? I see posts about every other place but not Quality Inn.

Comment by diannep on August 8, 2012 at 8:08am: Where is everyone in this group? No posts in almost 24 hours!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 6, 2012 at 1:18pm: That may be the reason, and rules often change. My Sailor was there two years ago so a lot could have changed since then. Of maybe when I sent the cookies they were devoured by my Sailor and her friends before they had a chance to make to any room lol. Hopefully you will be able to send him food in the next phase. The 1st phase usually doesn't last long at all.

Comment by aster on August 5, 2012 at 9:27am: Lala my sailor is at NAS, Phase 1 - Indoctrination - they were told no food is allowed to be shipped to them and no food is allowed in the building were they sleep. Maybe he can get food in a different phase? I don't know. :)

Comment by diannep on August 5, 2012 at 7:57am: Good Morning Ladies~

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 5, 2012 at 7:05am: aster- thanks so much for posting all that information a couple pages back. A lot of great info there. Why no food in the care packages for Sailors in Pensacola? Is that Corey Station or NAS? The reason I ask is our Sailor was at NAS and we sent her several care packages with homemade cookies and lots of other snacks and goodies and she and her friends were begging for more lol. So I am wondering if that has now changed.
