Priscilla my husband already has his bank information. He has already used the card to buy his place ticket from home to A school. I got the confirmation e-mail Sunday from southwest. Also even tho he added me as joint to his account, the bank didn't add me to it because he didn't have my dl, ssn, or signature so I had to print the form from the website. Fill out and sign my part and I am having to mail it to him for him to sign and turn into the bank. I wrote this a few days back... I am guessing you didn't read it, but the bank came Friday and J got his bank info, card, and checks on that day. He called me Saturday and we exchanged bank information so he could transfer money to me since they were unable to add me to the account til I got the form to him.

Question: just wondering if anyone with a joint bank account received info on direct deposit today or recently. S told me he already set everything up, how much the first check is to be for us, & also that their first payday is Dec 1st.
Curious bc I received a deposit notification change from my bank today. I called & all they said was that someone in IL tried to access my account. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

tomorrow is almost here, meaning it'll be a brand new day. woo! i'm probably the only wife here that's excited for the gas chamber, haha. i guess it's because me & my S think it's the absolute coolest. :P
Comment by Megan- [ship 02, division 906] on November 23, 2010 at 12:25am
I hate the idea of the gas chamber too. It makes me sick to my stomach to think he has to go through that. I ask him every time we talk if he has yet and he says no. I just want him to know I'm here for him, but I think they all probably just try not to think about it until it comes. They will be okay, don't worry. It's for their better, even though its hard for us to think that way, because they will have experience and know what to expect for the future. This will help them to be safer. Only 29 more days. I Can't Wait!!!!!!!!!

I talked to my son yesterday and he was telling me that i will be getting a call or someone coming to my door verifying information for his security clearence. Does anyone know when this is suppose to happen? Would it be while he is at his A school?
I can't believe the time is almost here. I am looking forward to seeing my son. Unfortuntly he is not coming home with me. He has deceided to stay in Chicago with his girlfriend and her family for Christmas.

Hi Ladies...half way there! Wahoo! I wasn't on for a couple of days...busy...so when I came on today and say the number 29, I thought, WOW! Yippee!! :) I just printed off my directions so I think I am going to try to fax them. My son actually said to send them to him, but I think I will do both! I've been thinking an awful lot about the gas chamber lately...I know they have got to be getting close...I hate the thought of him going in there, but I know that others have done it before him. Knowing the type of person he is, I'm sure he is putting it out of his mind and will just deal with it when it happens. But the mom in me...well...I just absolutely hate the idea of it! And like I said, it has been on my mind a lot lately!
Well, I will try to stay focused on the positive...we are half way there! :)

Wow, less than one month to go. You should be getting letters now and that usually means that you have a love/hate relationship with your mail carrier lol. Keep writing every day. Your future sailor will thank you for it :-) I thought of something you could right about if you are running out of ideas for your letters. Write it as if it were a news article: We interrupt you local program for a news alert. A local woman (insert name) was questioned today when she was found trying to get into her mail carriers truck while he was taking his lunch break. (name) was reported to have stated that every day her mail was delivered later and later and she just couldn't take it anymore, she wanted her mail and she wanted it now. Our team of investigators have learned that the suspect is a "Navy Mom". The local DA has a son who is currently in Pensacoal for A school and she had this comment; "I understand where this woman is coming from, and at this time we do not intend to press charges. The mail carrier has requested a different route. We decline to answer any further questions at this time" hahahahahahahaha My daughter would have thought this was hilarious. Whatever you write about, just keep writing. :-)

Plus in my case when i check the ticket for o'hare was more expensive that midway so midway it is, even that is 45 min from the base but is fine the price is worth it!
