Traci, It sounds like you both are doing well and are very happy. Its great to hear such happy news. :) Best to you with your pregnancy. It really is a joy! I hope Perry gets the post he wants. Have a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on December 9, 2011 at 11:42am

I haven't stopped by in a while!  So much great news from you guys!  I'm glad to hear that everyone over in Japan is safe and sound and mikesproudmom, what great news!  I hope they are enjoying their new life together.

As for us, Perry has been on hold after Power School for quite some time now, but he starts Prototype on the 19th.  We're looking forward to finishing up this last phase of his nuclear training.  We're sitting on pins and needles waiting to see where they send us next!  We're hoping for Washington state.  For all inquiring minds, Perry didn't get Officer.  He was bummed, but apparently no one he knew got it either.  They chose very few people this time around.  

In other great news from us, we're expecting our first baby in late April/early May!  We couldn't be more excited (and of course terrified) and are really looking forward to finally being parents.  We got to reach our goal of having kids before 30 (even if we are only a year away!)

I hope everyone continues to do well on their Navy journeys!

mikesproudmom just saw your post. Congratulations to you and your family. Grandchildren are the best. Enjoy the new additions to your family :)

mikesproudmom, Congratulations!  Mother-inlaw and grandma in one fell swoop!  That's terrific.  I wish all of you the best.

Wow, time really does fly.  And "they" were right, it did get better.  Jason is an IT and is stationed in Yokosuka, Japan.  Yes, he was there for the earthquake.  The USS Shiloh was part of the recovery effort.  He said at one point "Japan won't quit moving".  Guess their still getting aftershocks.  Hope all are well.

Hi Ladies, I can't believe it's been a year either.  Brandon is doing very well in Pensecola, FL. Is working in the Internal Medicine Division as a Corpsman and loving it.  He will be home this coming week for a week for his sister's graduation.  Took his E-4 test last month and anxiosly awaits the results.  I haven't been on this site in months but I am so thankful were there for eachother when we needed.  I couldn't have survived boot camp any other way. Jen be sure to tell Nan "hello" for me.  Go NAVY!!

Hi ladies! I too can't believe that it's been over a year since boot camp! Ten days from now will be a year from the day that we all sat together and watched our sailors graduate! Jason is stationed in VA and is loving it! He was home for two weeks until May 3rd, then I graduated college on the 6th and came up to VA with my parents the next day. My parents left yesterday and I am staying until tomorrow morning. It's been an amazing weekend, but he's leaving on deployment for 7 months :( saying goodbye tonight was awful. Its been harder than anything we've gone through together, but he's excited to see some of the world! I hope everyone's sailors are doing wonderfully, and all of you as well! :) GO NAVY!

Those SEALS are amazing!  So proud of all our men and women  serving.  Thanks and prayers go out to all to keep them safe.
Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on April 26, 2011 at 2:09pm
So good to hear from you both, Traci and Tammy.  Glad to hear everything is going well, and I'm sure they will take care of JP.  Savannah is in Japan, made it through the earthquake and didn't feel a thing since they were so far south.  But her ship, the USS Tortuga, spent a month as part of Operation Tomodachi,  the recovery effort.  They are getting ready to head out on deployment this week, to a planned voyage in southeast Asia, first stop Okinawa.  She is doing well, though right now she is in the middle of 90 days of "cranking" in the galley.  Very hard work, apparently, and lots of hazing.  She was pretty miserable at first, but seems to have adapted.

Hi all!  Just checking in.

Can you believe its been a year since boot camp?  It has been a year since we all banded together to find out as much information as possible about our Sailor's journeys.  It was wonderful getting to celebrate Easter with Perry this year and just thinking back over this wild ride so far.

Life in SC isn't very different from life in Florida.  The weather is still hot and humid here although the winters are colder.  At least there have been actual seasons!

No new news from us on Perry.  He's still doing well, rising up the ranks scholastically.  He's really enjoying his studies.  

There are over 140 applicants for Nuclear Officer so he's keeping his fingers crossed as far as that goes.  He has a lot to go through still in the application process and won't know anything until October.  The waiting is going to be rough!

I hope everyone is doing well.

Did anyone hear anything about Japan?  Didn't we have one or two from this group with Sailors over there?
