Thanks Lisa that would be great if you can find something out!
Hey Pam,
My cousin is stationed on the Nimitz too - he's an MM. I'll try to catch up w/him and see what's going on.
Thanks! I am a slow learner...lol
Sorry, IS is Intelligence Specialist and VB is Virginia Beach.
Do we have a glossary of terms somewhere...lol What is IS and VB?
KDP 3,
Have you joined the IS for moms yet? My daughter is also IS in VB and doing well. It would be nice to have someone from our PIR on the IS site...it's not very exciting! Maybe we should invite Lynne. The Pensacola group seems like a perpetual party!
Morning Alums!! My son is doing really well in A school for IS in VB...He was lucky enough to have 2 bunkmates that he met while in BC so it's worked out pretty well....He's been able to go out on the weekends now and have some "free" time....and speaking of free time...HE'S COMING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!
Wishing all of you a Wonderful Christmas Holiday and Happy New Year......
Lynne-rumor has it that it is going into drydock, so I have no clue as to what they will be doing there. Any ideas or thoughts on your part? Pam
What great looking sailors you all have...I am so impressed...I am so blessed to know you all. Thank you for coming back...Pam what will your son be doing on the Nimitz...and are they deploying right away...
Wow just posted a pictue of our son, but it came out very long. He really doesn't have a neck like a giraffe! I guess I did something wrong. lol
