Hi ladies, what a weekend. 14 1/2 hrs of driving and Rob didn't know if he'd be able to leave the base. 2nd suicide of a nuke sailor this week. The second committed suicide Friday morning, just hours before we got there to pick up Rob. My heart aches for both those families...so sad. We all tried to get past this sadness and enjoy the weekend, which we did with an underlying sense of remorse for those sailors and their families..and guilt for having so much fun together. It's frightening that these 2 after getting so far..and accomplishing so much, believed that they had no other way out. I hope counseling is available for everyone there on base and for these devestated families. Heartfelt sympathy and prayers are sent to all.....

Hey everyone! It's great to hear how well everyone is doing. Boot camp feels like a lifetime ago now.
We're settled here in Goose Creek and attempting to get a steady routine in place. Perry is doing great. He's phase 2 now which makes life a little simpler and he's at the top of his a school class so he only has 5 study hours a week! He's a natural with the material he's learning so he's looking forward to the coming weeks getting a bit more challenging.
So far the weather is no different than FL so I'm impatiently awaiting colder weather! I'm also hoping that being further north we will get affected by less hurricanes. I found out that we're on a fault line though, so apparently there are earthquakes?!?! But they're mostly mild ones from what I hear. That will be a totally new experience....
Well, I hope everyone's Sailors are doing well! They pretty much all seem to be friends on facebook so I check up on them from time to time through Perry's facebook. :) Have a great rest of your week ladies!!!

Hi girls.......... great news TammySue. It's so hard to keep up with all the updates...lol Thank you all for keeping up the postings. We're going down to Goose Creek to see Rob this Friday for the weekend. Can't wait. He's doing great. Nuke program is really challenging but he's holding his own. Cant believe the change in him in such a short period of time. So very proud of him and all our sailors. tata for now...

Actually, Jason is AO. He finishes A-School and then has his two-week leave before reporting to his duty station. He should be finding out where he'll be stationed soon! And you're right, there's no questioning the Navy haha! Mike probably wouldn't be able to have visitors this soon. They can't go off-base in Phase One, but I don't know if his phases will carry over from Great Lakes or if he has to start over, hope he doesn't! That's great that he's excited about his job!

MIkesproudmom- so he is going to pcola i thought his school was in great lakes??? baby should be here soon i hope :)

That is great that he is now on this track! I know Jason still hangs out with his friends from boot camp! He graduates his core AO classes on July 20th, and depending on his orders (which he thinks he should get in two weeks or so), he will hopefully be home by the mid/end of August, but possibly sooner. It all depends on whether he is stationed on a ship or squadron. He then gets 15 days of leave before reporting to his next duty station! Once I find out how long he will be there, I'm hoping to visit him again up in Pensacola! He was Grad&Go after bootcamp, so it was great spending more than just one day with him! That would be great if you could visit Mike! They really love having visitors, obviously! Hope he gets to Pensacola soon and can start this new journey!

mikesproudmom, my boyfriend is in Pensacola too and loves it! He says he has made a ton of new friends and that there is a lot to do! My parents and I went to visit him last weekend and it was incredibly hot, but we had a fantastic time going to the beach and visiting the base/Naval Aviation Museum! He was phase two, so he had to be back at midnight each night, but could be picked up at 7:30am every morning so I got to spend most time with him! He phased up last Monday, and applied for an out-of-bounds chit (to get farther than 200 miles off base?) and came home this weekend for the 4th of July (Thursday after class-Monday morning)! We had a wonderful weekend! I'm so spoiled now because I saw him the last TWO weekends! He should be home by late August, but he's loving Pensacola, so he's having a great time! I hope your son likes it too, I'm sure he will! And hope everyone had a great Fourth of July!

Hi my N4M friends, Hope everyone had a joyous 4th of July. I did and I kept my Sailor in my thoughts all day. Went into Philly for an awesome, but hot day and shook every Sailors hand that I could find. There was a great presence of all the branches of the military in attendance. It was great. We couldn't make it to the fire works. It was a long hot day and we were with another couple and she is 8 months pregnant, so we left just before nightfall and were able to see our hometown fireworks from our front porch. Jess told me that the base had fireworks last night. Hope all of our Sailors had a great day yesterday.

Take care all and I will stop back again soon.
