About wisdom teeth, thank God I (my dentist of course) remove my son before he left. More easy two at the time and wait to heal that all at the same. My son told me that it was blood stain all around. Uff!!! What a relieve for him.

I got another call too!!!!It was for travel arrangements but he said" I already know I am coming home with you and I am making my plane ticket reservations on line from here." I just hired his friend at my store so he got to talk to him also which lifted his spirits a little.He said they get to leave as soon as graduation is over ,they go to their compartments and get their things and then leave.

Received a 30 min call from our son this morning. His dad was here so he was able to talk to both of us per speaker phone. He sounded really good and had some funny stories.

Yupi!!!! I just finish talking with my son. What a Big Surprise!!! We talk yesterday for 20 minutes and today for another 20 minutes. Ok, he told me to please buy his ticket to go back Dec. 29. He think after PIR he can leave but liberty start for sure the 23rd. He sound so good, it so nice to hear him. He told me he lose more way, gosh he is 6 feet and weight 200 when he left, oh my I can wait to see him. They eating 3 times a day and told me they got a lot of snack, he try to eat as much as he can but is not too much time for that either. He used to drink a lot of water and he told me he try just to sip because they have 5 min. for the all div to used the bathroom so he don't want any accident, ja, ja. Also he told me I don't need to prove how he is going back just how he's coming home. I also talk to him about the DVD and the pictures, I told him to please make sure he order for me, what to do a scrap book for him. Yupi!!! I'm so happy, thank you GOD for taking care of my son, your son.

Rose, I understand...we are driving from NY and since we are driving back we want to bring N with us. We are trying to figure out the best way for him to go to Groton too! Ugh! It can be so confusing, but it will definitely be worth it! :)

Gosh!! Sometimes you don't know what to do, you don't want to get the SR in trouble. Last night I send a copy of the itinerary to where I suppose to send it but of course I know he is flying back but when I talk to him last night he is not sure yet when he suppose to go back. All he knows is that he is taking 7 days, he will need to pay 2 days back, (I'm not sure what is that) but he don't know if total liberty start right after PIR or the next day. I told him as soon as he find out he need to let me know to start making arrangements to go to A school in Groton, Conneticut. He is a ET on the submarines. So here I am just waiting....Anyway I will send him a copy of the itinerary to come home just in case, due to is not way (I think) to know if the Navy receive the copy.

Megan: Probably best to contact the Navy command at Pensacola and found out directly from them.
