So did y'all see the news today about the mailman who showed up naked to deliver the mail to cheer up a woman in Wisconson who was depressed (so he said)...you know the first thing I thought...okay which one of the ladies on Navy for Moms is looking pitiful...because they aren't getting any mail...lol! Any confessions ladies...lol!! Oh come on.....it crossed your mind didn't it...it made me laugh!!
Sorry mamawalrus I am not kidding and it is a tag team effort...when one gets done...they wake the next one...lol!! And as far as who shows them how...honeeeey they take a class devoted to ironing, one devoted to folding, one devoted to the correct way to make a bed...need I say more...lol

mamawalrus...it takes 4 to 6 weeks to get the flag...if you order it now..you will have it in time to put it up after bs
Depending the day they wake up about 5AM...they have 90 seconds to get to what is called the toe line...fully dressed, boots on ready to go for the day. They go to bed at about 9PM and pretty exhausted having worked hard all day and pretty much go right to sleep. They do get up during the night for watch and to ... wait for it....take their turn at the iron...lol!!

He is close to all of them actually, different relationships with each due to age difference. SHe is 14, 5 years younger than him.. But these two have the military interest,, she is planning on joining the Air Force when she graduates. (at least at this point) THe BLue Star Flag info is above in the Discussion links. Hit View All, think its on the second page of Discussions.
BB@ I think I am going to order mine when I get the battlestation call of "I am a SAILOR"...it will make a very special day even more memoriable when I see that flag every day.
