Just stopping by to say Hi! cant believe I havent been on in a month! Hubby is happy in Pensacola, today will be his first day as a brown bagger so i get to sleep next to my husband tonight!! wohoo! He still hasnt started classes, but he is the Alpha Barrack Support Leader. At first he didnt like having the job with all the responsibility but now he does. He gets to work with and talk to the Petty Officers and his Chiefs everyday so he feels his learning alot and making good connections. He is basiclaly in charge assigning all the watches for their barracks, making sure the yeomens are doing their job, and making sure the barracks support ppl are doing their cleaning duties. Its alot on his sholders but hes hoping to start class next week and putting his "sidekick" in charge of barracks!

My son has too settled into a routine now - and it is so hard to believe it has only been a month ago that they were all heading out to their next journeys. My son in Pensacola classed up last Thursday- and was so glad not to wait any longer- but I think his 4 weeks of waiting is quick- as alot of them are still waiting to class up. HE was super happy to get his top secrete clearance passed. He can't tell me anything about his classes- only that he likes it and he had a test the second day and passed. He has volunteered for colors and also made it into rifle drill. Other than that he sure seems to be spending alot of money on food - and at the nex!!!
Happy Memorial DAY!!!
"We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm" George Orwell
Remembering those who gave it all to keep us safe and thanking those that are ready and willing to do so !! God bless you who serve and are standing ready to protect our Country! And God bless all the families who have lost so much and support those who are ready to put themselves in harms way!!!

Thanks everyone!
And no, no date yet. He is still on hold for A school so we can't plan anything as far as a date just yet.
And I will keep the name the same since everyone seems to agree :)
