Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on February 1, 2011 at 3:46pm: Congratulations, Traci, so glad to hear that Perry is doing so well. How are you liking life in SC?

Jess'smom, how are you doing? Did Jess get married? Hope things are going well for you and your family.

tammyw, how was Christmas with JP home? I imagine you all had a wonderful time and saying goodbye must have been tough. Is he in Hawaii yet?

Savannah seems to be doing well in Japan. Last night she was leading training on the m16 and the 9mm. On the one hand it sounds very impressive, but on the other hand, it's amazing that in such a short time she can do that! She is doing some exploring, and sends me pictures of the local area as well as pictures of the new dishes she's trying. I'm so glad she has an opportunity to do that.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on February 1, 2011 at 3:23pm: Hey all! I haven't been on here in forever! Perry is currently a Petty Officer in Power school here in Goose Creek, SC. He's doing really well. He's going to apply for the STA-21 program and try for Officer! I'm very proud of him. He graduated A school third in his class and he was 58th out of his Power school class of 396 at last check. Nukes is definitely his thing! He graduates Power school in June so he has plenty of time to rise up to the top of the class.
I hope everyone is doing well and that their Sailors are doing phenomenal!

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on December 7, 2010 at 12:51pm: Tammy, that is terrific that JP will be home for the holidays! We were hoping things would work out that way for Savannah, but it didn't so we are making the most of it. I think the waiting is the hardest part for everyone. Savannah thought she'd be home Nov. 1, but her orders didn't come through, then perhaps Thanksgiving, but that didn't work either. Good luck to JP in Hawaii, and Merry Christmas to all of you.

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on December 7, 2010 at 12:06pm: So sorry to hear about Jess. I've heard a little bit over time from Savannah, though they don't get to see each other much. Congratulations on the wedding! It's nice to hear good news, but you are certainly going to be busy planning for Christmas and a wedding! There are all lots of clinics and different therapies to deal with migraines. The Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville has a lot of experience with migraines and do thorough testing, evaluation and treatment. She might want to look into that when she gets there.
I know the limbo part is difficult. Savannah graduated from A School Oct. 29 and wasn't able to come home until Dec 1. It seems as though everything is hurry up and wait.
Savannah is home right now until the 15th, then goes back to GL for a couple of days to spend with her fiance before shipping out to Japan on the 17th. Yes, she's engaged, and I'm happy for her, though I haven't had a chance to meet him yet. There is no wedding date set yet, since she's off to Japan for 4 years or whatever the Navy decides and he's still finishing up A school.
Happy Holidays to all of you ladies and your families.

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on December 7, 2010 at 10:09am: Thank you all so much. Right now in limbo waiting for her to come home

Comment by T's mom on December 7, 2010 at 9:17am: Fingers crossed and Prayer sto You and your family.
Enjoy the Wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on December 6, 2010 at 9:01pm: I will continue to check in here once in a while. I will keep you all up to date. Keep your fingers crossed that she can get the migraines under control so she can go back in.

Comment by T's mom on December 6, 2010 at 5:32pm: Wow...Haven't been out here in a while myself....
I'm in shock to hear about Jess.....headaches...
Nice to hear about a Wedding!!!!!
Keep me postted....

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on December 4, 2010 at 2:23pm: Hi everyone. I haven't been on for quite some time. We have been going through a very sad time right now. After going back and forth to the doctor, they are discharging Jess for the severe migraines. At least they are giving her an Honorable Discharge and if she can get the migraines under control within a year, she can come back and pick up where she left off. She has been in holding for about 3 weeks now and may be coming home early next week. However, her and her fiance have moved their wedding up to this christmas (he is a chief petty officer in the Navy). She will be home for the holidays and then moving to Jacksonville, FL on the 2nd. They did tell her that her doctor ok's her to come back, she can finish up A school in Jacksonville. Needless to say, she has been very down because this was her dream to be a sailor. '

I hope that everyone's Sailor is doing well and that you get to see them during the holidays.

Take care my N4M friends!!
