I guess everyone has settled down and is used to their sailors now, maybe have joined the groups they are rated in or where they are stationed. LIttle is going on here, huh? Wish every one a happy new year!

Hello Everyone! Hope Thanksgiving was nice for every one. I have not been on here in a few months- very busy fall. Cal finished up training in Pensacola in about 3 weeks and went on to HI. He likes it, but looks forward to reapplying to special forces next year. He is thrilled that our neighbor( 11 houses away) in the army is stationed about 20 minutes away and his good friend, another neighbor, who joined the Navy has completed his school and will be in Pearl Harbor. He passed the E4 test and is looking for apartments off base ( (although- the barracks there are quite nice- efficiency apts, one per sailor.But, only a part time galley) He is not stationed on a ship but has shore duty only.

Hi everyone! Cal is safely in Hawaii working on computers, not at Pearl Harbor butsomewhere else on that island. So far he is very happy and is SO GLAD the school in Pensacola is done and over with. One of his friends( parents live 11 houses from me) is about 20 minutes away on an army base. HE is waiting for his car to get there, it is being shipped.

Hello everyone! I have been too busy to get on for a while, I was going back to read the comments. Sounds like all is well, and the now not -so-new sailors are making progress and getting settled. Calin is on leave before going to Hawaii. They will ship his car over. I have been asking what he wants from here- the Navy can sent it, and I don't want to pay all that shipping.

Patty, Calin isn't coming home before Hawaii. We spend the weekend with him at PIR march, here in late April, and a few days in July . He will go to another part of FL where our oldest daughter lives, and his grandparents. Yes, I"ve already looked into tickets for Hawaii. I'll have to save up- it is expensive, but it is a long flight. He cannot wait to leave Pensacola IT school- he finally was allowed to go the the ophthalmologist, who said the instructor should have let him go and they can too take care of his follow ups there. He graduated last Friday, with honors. I"m proud of him and all his hard work! Glad to hear Wes got orders, what will be be doing?

Hello, everyone. Calin got his orders- he will be going to Hawaii for 3 years for IT. . I am glad he is excited. he has a friend- a neighbor of ours- who was recently stationed 20 min away at an army base. He will complete IT school tomorrow, have two weeks leave then they will fly him ( and his car!) over there. He is very glad to FINALLY be working instead of on hold and in school. I am getting ready to UPS to him whatever he needs or wants from here, so the Navy can send it with him.

Hi,
I have read this a number of times but have not posted. have any of you mailed cookies to your guy/girl? Son wants chocolate chip and m&M chips and.... peanut butter and..... He says a buddy gets packages weekly and they aren't melted by the time they get to San Diego. Any of you do this? Have any Packing tips? He is okay, recovering from eye surgery and soon moving to his class ( eyes had to heal first) He has had a hard time watching his buddies class up while he was doing PT, watch, etc and just waiting since early April to get started. So I will cheer him up with a cookie package.

We got the KEEL yesterday. Anyone else? It seemed like most of the pageS , while nice to see and have, were not specifically of thiS PIR group. Only appears that our son's division was shown in the black and whites at the end of the book.

Ummm.... about the bus or walking to GLTC. Div 818 commander told all of us parents before the ceremony that they were all moving by bus after the ceremony. The guys took the bus, according to my son. We got the calls around 4:30 that they were checked into the new dorms and they got liberty all weekend long! He lost 15 pounds, and so now son is 158 and over 6 feet tall. He was very tired. We bought him new sneakers, the ones he was issued were so bad he had terrible blisters and ankle problems, had to go to the doctor about it on base. We gave him the laptop and cell phone since they had already left boot camp on friday. We were all sad when we left- he wanted us to stay longer but we were not able to change plans at the last minute. He seems a bit uneasy, uncertain about leaving us and walking into the dorm when we dropped him off on Sat evening. His phone call sunday night was better, he had slept a lot and read a book he likes. The others were back from their liberty by then.
