Thank you Sandra! I agree that they make it hard. Apparently I can't even get in to see my pcm at all this month and the whole medical center on base is in the red for performance. I have to wait until Tuesday to see some random person to have them recheck blood work and make sure everything is fine. I also found out that Bethesda is full and I can't even get in to my own women's health clinic. It's to the point that I might even change my MTF to another base in hopes of being seen or take up residence in the ER....
So we are back to the drawing board for orders which will make this month our 2nd try. Hopefully we will get something so we are able to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Sandra Nichelle is lucky to have you! My family can't take our pets since they don't get along with theirs and we have an indoor cat and they have a doggie door. Plus I don't think I would ever get them back if they took them since it happened many time growing up. Hope everything is going great for everyone else and you all have a great weekend!!

Sandra, yes if you find out the name it would help. Right now I have to wait for the referral so I can be seen at Bethesda and hopefully get somewhere with this. I haven't been able to be seen even at my pcm since the er visit and I was suppose to try and get an appt 2 wks ago to make sure everything it fine. Keep us posted on Nichelle!
So I hoping that we did get picked up for orders, but nervous about finding out Friday. We really want Belgium and it was listed as critical so hopefully they will see we want it and give it to us. I'm hoping that if we don't get any this time that the list won't go back to Cali, Hawaii, Japan and Va or list places that our pup is listed as dangerous. Oh and as a heads up, the PTS also known as Perform to Serve has been nabbing people up. In order to pick orders you have to have an approved PTS. This last go around 10 out of 65 ITs got approved PTSs and were able to pick orders. Hope everyone has a great week and I'm off to do hw.....

Erin (my youngest) starts NJROTC next week. It's going to be so strange seeing her in essentially the same uniform that Chris left hanging in our extra closet - and the same dress uniform I wore almost 25 years ago. I couldn't believe it when we discovered that she fits into my old dress blue uniform (and almost surprised that I still have it, LOL).

No I'm not. I have had my fair share of issues with this clinic on base and went today to request being sent to a different base. It has been everything from not being able to contact my doctor to not writing a thing in my file. According to the ER last week, nothing is wrong level wise but they think my body is killing them which falls into what problems my mom had. Hopefully being sent to a different one will get the ball rolling since we are going into our 2nd month of picking orders and will be moving no later then May. Hopefully both Nichelle and I can get everything straighten out one day without giving up.
Lol, I know how you feel about seeing posts. I always wonder what everyone is doing when it comes time for things like us picking orders and if anyone else is in the same boat. IT orders suck big time but we did manage to find 5 that were manage able and didn't require a psych eval to bring the dog... We put in for England, Hawaii, Guam, Belgium, and Japan. Hope everyone stays safe this weekend!!

Well someone please stop sending their bad weather my way. I check back too but it seems like everyone is always so busy to post. Sandra, I have been meaning to contact Nichelle but have been busy with school and scentsy and family things. Maybe I will get a chance this weekend.... This week has been a very long one. With confirming the lose of another baby and the earthquake, it is safe to say that this hurricane will probably just about do me in. Not only do I have to worry about my house, but we are also watching a friends house and mini zoo. I hope winter doesn't turn out to be like it is on track to be. Hope everyone is doing okay!!

I too check every so often. I do miss some of the banter back in forth with some of you and it's nice to see how everyone is doing. Sandra I'll say a prayer for you and hope you get good news. Some of the ones in our group keep in touch with my daughter in law so I do hear how they are doing.

I still like being in touch with the friends I made here. I have noticed that our membership is less than half of what is was. I'm rather sad to have lost so many of our members to the cyber netherworld.

Has Nichelle considered egg harvesting, and a surrogate? Sometimes a close friend or family member can carry the baby for her, and the child would truely be hers. My best friend had problems, never could carry a baby to term. I had three kids already and volunteered to be a surrogate. We were in the planning stages, when she decided to raise her nephews instead. One of three died in a tragic allergic reaction on Christmas Eve, and their parents were unfit to start with, and totally fell apart after the oldest died.
I've known sisters to have babies for each other, or cousins. A friend of mine carried her brother's baby to term, after his wife had ovarian cancer. They harvested the wife's eggs before she had her hysterectomy, and my friend carried three babies to term for them (a singleton and a set of twins).

Chris is now living in Colorado. He's going back to school and trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life. He really misses the Navy and wishes he could turn back time to undo what he did, but as you know, hindsight is 20/20.
Sean is still working on losing weight to join. He's had a couple of setbacks, a twisted ankle and wrenched knee that had him off his feet for almost two months. Not good bored plus injured equals weight gain.
My daughter Erin has signed up for JNROTC in high school, she starts next month. I'm not so sure the Navy is right for her, so this is a good chance for her to sample the Navy without having to commit.

Sandra glad to hear you are doing better. Sorry to hear about your trouble, hope the rest of your vacation is more enjoyable. We had a good time up in Washington even with Brian having the duty two days. Stephanie stayed home for some quite time with the little one and we took our grandson Mason with us. Mason is three and he kept up with us. We went to the Space Needle and local market one day and he ate everything! I even got him to try a shooter oyster. He made somewhat of a face, but he ate it. I gave Brian’s smoker a workout while I was there.
Slimsam Short summer? Try our wacked out weather here in CA Almost 100 and the next day 70's with rain. It's 74 hear today and this weekend will be over 100 Glad you got to hear from yuor son.
Hope everyone has a great 4th of July.
