Comment by barb ( rachel's mom) on April 21, 2010 at 5:34pm

I see that the Honor Awards are updated! Congrat's to those who earned these awards. They can't give awards to everyone but remember each and everyone is a winner and accomplished so much. Good luck with the rest of A school and hope they make the best of each experience they learn from the Navy. I appreciate all their service.

Looks like Division 163 & 164 did incredible ~~ WTG all.

Whew! Just got home finally. Ran straight to the bathroom from all this excitement lol. Then it took me 1/2 hour to read all posts since this morning to catch up on all the news. I'm so relieved and happy, I could just burst with pride. We should ALL be proud! We have a WONDERFUL group of SAILORS! Way to go all of Ship 10! Congrats go out to each and every one! Brian mentioned that he will have a delay in leaving GL because he'll be going to Groton, CT and he thinks it starts May 3rd I think he said. So he'll be on liberty until then and doing light duty details until then. He thinks his sub training will only be around 2 weeks, but he also said he thinks he may be stationed at Groton after that for A School but wasn't sure yet. That would be wonderful because it's only about 2 hours away from where we live and a 2 hr drive is NOTHING to me. He didn't know how long A school would be yet because he wasn't sure what type of sub he'd be on yet. He chose the attack sub because the other type goes out for like 6 mos. at a time (yikes). Hopefully he gets the attack sub then if that's what he wants. I was upset because I left my "list" of questions home by the phone and didn't have it on me when he called, but I'm so proud of myself - I actually remembered everything on the list lmao. Now I can go clean my van's windows and get last minute stuff at store, gas up, pack, make dinner & sandwiches for the ride b4 leaving around 11pm tonight. I'm so relieved and excited now. Can't wait to see you all there! Thanks for carrying me through all this cause I'm no lightweight! roflmao You're all GREAT!!!

this is disabled 167 naval mom, terri. just read that 168 passed, congrats to all of you sailors.
Comment by Janiece M-Utah on April 21, 2010 at 4:33pm
Ok ladies.....I haven't forgotten you!!!! Congrat's to all of 167 & 168!!! Your all awesome~ I have a novel to write so I can calm down and get focused again, just a warning :)
The worst day of my life was sitting through a conference today doing the wondering bit instead of learning all the new health reform crap! But....the Blackberry was very handy cause I could read all of your postings. For some reason (maybe it was God) it wouldn't let me respond back to any postings left. With all the reading I was doing with the postings....my phone battery went down to 2 bars and I was starting to panic for fear that Chase would call and my phone would die. He called me at 12:48 and tried to tell me he didn't pass.....Well that's my Chase trying to mess with me. But I knew differently and he said they all passed with no problems and thought it was pretty cool & fun. His only complaint was that he had to do watch duty yesterday morning at 3 am and won't be off to go and sleep till 8 pm tonight. He was so laxed and sounded great. He did say that if they sleep or try and fall asleep before 8, they will or can get their liberty taken away from them this weekend! So.....please keep the prayers going for these men. It's not over yet :) Oh....I'm exhausted as well. Went through a bottle of pepto last night and slept 2 hrs. Half in my bed and the other on the couch. I guess we had our own Battle Station and I know for a fact I won't be asleep at 8 pm tonight. Oh, Chase said to thank the mom's who wrote his buddies (Herman & Luu) They loved them....Also, he mentioned that Division 167 needs to sit in section 9 if you want to see them really well. I'm so excited cause Chase will be in the front holding a flag and I can sit and google eye over him and smile big with love & pride!!!!
Well...I'm done with the novel for now. Hugs & love to all of you!!!!

BUT I TOO HAVE A SAILOR, DIV:167 he too almost feel asleep on phone, but he called whole family and girlfriend. he finally talked to his italian grandmom who is 84 and she is still crying, because he called her 1st.- he's the best. love to all, they made it and so did we. how many kleenex boxes can we bring? we are staying at a hotel that doesn't have a shuttle. can we go to another hotel and get one? does anyone know the closest place to base?
Congrats to all our proud sailors. oh my call was a hr. ago- so happy

Josh also said it was fun for the most part....he would have liked to have done it with some sleep before hand.
