Talked to Gerry at Great Lakes photo labs yesterday. He said the Keel books for PIR 5/21/10 would be sent out in about two weeks. They had some delays but it's all worked out now. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

I was chatting with Savannah on line last night and she mentioned that she attended some type of class where they talked to them about some of the issues they might face and how to handle them, as well as making them aware that there are chaplains they can talk to. They also asked them to keep an eye on their fellow sailors and try to report anyone that might be in trouble. During this class, they mentioned several suicides, 3 I think. I feel so sad for their families, my prayers are with them.

Oh my goodness. I talked with Jess today and she hadn't heard anything about these situations. Anyone know where I can get some more info about the two from Great Lakes. Just curious if they were still in bootcamp or at the Naval Station. Jess is surprised that she would have, at the least, heard about the two from GL.

How sad for these Sailors and their families and friends. I just want to hug my kids right now. This is very scary. I agree. I will keep them in my thoughts and pray for them.

I can only imagine what those families are going through. My heart and prayers go out to them. Makes us all realize how blessed we are how small our worries are by comparison. God bless them.
