They were either A) only given one key B) his roomie lost the other C) the other roomie previously kept it, because there is only 1. Gaige has his own key to his cabinet, but not to the closet. He's going to his roomies SLPO about it. He's feeling a little better, we skyped for a little bit.

Oh and just remember, A-school is a spin-off of boot camp. The officers and enlisted make it hard on them. Sometimes they say it's harder than boot camp. They're still in training. They do formation and marching and "chanting." Inspections are random and sporadic. They'll get into trouble for the stupidest things. It's kinda something they can't avoid...and they kinda have to go with it, as much as it sucks. Trust me, I was outraged SO much while Paul was in A-school. It sucked...and it makes me mad just thinking about the stuff Paul went through because of other people. But it's a growing, maturing process and it's made my man even more of a man because of it. Not that that makes the situation any better....I know it doesn't...but just kinda reminding the both of you...it'll be ok and life will be SO Much better as soon as A-school is over. :)

Nicole- That's horrible! He can always go to the next up in rank to talk to them about it. Paul had room mates like that...horrible ones...that got him phased back to alpha and it was sickening.  Paul went to the rank up and they worked things out. Being that he just graduated, I don't know if it will help any, as Paul had been there for almost 2 months by that point.  Also, Paul always, ALWAYS kept his key around his neck with his dog tags. The key thing is always and will probably always be a big deal amongst the Navy room mates. You'd not believe how often the division would get into trouble for all that kinda stupid stuff. It's really disturbing they can't be men and do the right thing, but not everyone is "grown up" and mature when they go into the Navy. Makes you sad, but it's true.  If he doesn't have his own copy, then find out if he has a friend who has a way to get off base (one that is further along in schooling and is allowed off base) and have them run to Wal-Mart and get a copy of it. I did that for Paul. I don't know what the rules were/are for stuff like that, but it saved Paul a lot of times. :)   ((((Hugs))))) for the both of you.

Bleh. I don't know now. He got in big big trouble today, it wasn't his fault, AT ALL, but he's kinda in some deep shit for awhile. I guess on Friday they are supposed to all be in dress whites. Well, his roomie locked him out of the closet or whatever, so he couldn't get to his whites. His roomie claimed gaige had the key last, but if gaige had the key last he would a) be in his whites, and b) his roomie would have had to wake him up this morning to he could get the key from gaige, to get to HIS whites. So obviously, the roomie was either pulling a cruel prank, or lost the key and tried to push it off onto gaige. Either way, he wasn't in his whites, looked like a complete fool infront of his P.O. His roomie didn't clean his half of the room, and they failed a room inspection today as well. (his roomie is terrible. he doesn't hold up his end of anything). Gaige now has extra duty x2, and he has to study all weekend. I have hated his roommate since the first week gaige was there when he complained that gaige was skyping me, when he wasn't trying to sleep he was playing his computer game, which i could hear across the room, and he couldnt even hear me, because gaige had headphones in. So he went and bitched and moaned to their suitemates about gaige skyping me. it was ridiculous. I absolutely HATE this guy, he's a complete worthless moron. EGH. & being that gaige was pissed and venting to me, well, moreless taking it out on me, but i sucked it up and let him because i cant even imagine the stress he's under. but either way, tomorrow is our 6 month, and i may not get to talk with him, AT ALL due to duty, and study. Which absolutely sucks. I told him I loved him and I support him 110% and that all will be okay mulitple times today. Lesson learned- Make sure Gaige keeps 1 pair of his dress whites at the house when I move so if he needs them, I can get them there, for any reason.

Im feeling a million times better now that he stayed up a litle later than he should of to calm my missing him a bit. He's a great boyfriend and best friend. and thanks! I love them too, he's really into gold, so he wants to get me a gold ring, and i had always thought i liked white gold better, then i looked on my pinky, and my ring finger, to realize both of the rings my aunt bought me awhile back were gold. ahha, i told him if he thinks its prety im sure ill love it.

Comment by Donna-Amanda's mom on August 19, 2011 at 12:42am
Nicole- So sorry you are having a bad day. Tomorrow will probably be 100% better. Just hang in there and concentrate on getting thru this year of school and hopefully you won't miss him so much when he can't be there. He is very busy also and is missing you just as much. We are here for you. BTW, I LOVED the rings.
Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on August 18, 2011 at 11:31pm
TODAY SUCKS. 2nd day of school, only heard from gaige 3 times today and im an absolute wreck because of course, when i miss him most, he's MIA and I cant talk to him. I am so fed up with today and I don't want to do anything! I hate these moods. Sorry, just needed to vent since I know you ladies have been there.:/

Loved this. Mary this is for you in case your family asks what happened to you.

It would be a long engagement iris!:)
Comment by Donna-Amanda's mom on August 17, 2011 at 1:35pm

Iris- It is getting so close. So happy for you .  Haley is a smart girl and if she is thinking through these things now , I don't think it will be much longer. Very  curious to hear what her friend has to say.. Anyway still praying for you that she sees the light quickly. Have you heard anymore about the JAG review?

Mary- PLan something fun for just you and your Sailor that he would like to do while home. I think it is important we get that time alone with them.

Finally heard from my daughter. Asked her how port was and told her what others were doing. All she said was Port was fun. Seriously I need to teach her some communication skills.lol
