TammySue: I passed on Bailey progress the the 927 sailors in Pensacola. So glad she is turning a corner on this. She has been so strong and they are lucky to have her.
Mikesproudmom.....phew! now the celebration begins... Wonderful news.

Mikesproudmom, Congratulations! it's not exactly what he planned, but at least he is still there, and now he has a new plan.
Tammysue, great to hear that Bailey is finally making progress. I'll still keep her in my prayers.
Tammyw, Savannah is in the same area as JP, just moved on to another level of ATT school, but still has some ways to go. THere are quite a few levels, which they can do at their own pace, but she's been stuck in this one level for a bit.
Jess'smom, still haven't seen the vide of Jess and Savannah, but haven't heard much from Savannah lately. Am glad that they've become friends, Savannah has never had many close girl friends and I think she's needed that. They are all very excited because they have a long weekend this weekend and she finally phased up so she was able to start wearing civilian clothes on liberty last weekend.

My thoughts are always with all of you.

So happy for you and your son mikesproudmom. Just found out today my son's family (wife and 2 kids) are moving to Kenosha, WI - so they can all be together and my son can live off base. My son is done with ATT in August but there is a 6 month wait for his ET 'A' school. Not sure what he will do while he waits.

TammySue, I spoke with our daughter, Al, yesterday - she and others from Bailey's division have been wondering how she is doing. She asked that I relay a message to let Bailey know the 927 is thinking of her and wishing her the best. And I wish her the best too. Glad to read your most recent post.

TammySue, I am hoping and praying that the doctor's can get Bailey well. Speaking of Shari Lewis and Lampchop, my mother was Shari's babysitter when she grew up in Hamilton Township in NJ. When I was a little girl my mother took me to one of her shows and introduced me to her and lampchop. I know the song very well because my mother used to sing it to me every night to put me and my brother to sleep.

I am crossing my fingers that everything goes well. The Navy has the best doctors in the world. Keep thinking positive.

Ok ladies, I have to vent somewhere and I know you all have become my N4M friends and this is a not a Navy subject. Jess's father has not paid childsupport in a number of years, however, since his lawyer contacted me in April and asked if I would agree to wait until his lawsuit is settled (was in a very bad accident that left him unable to ever work again and is filling for federal disability as well as suing the company that owned the vehicle that hit him) would I agree not to pursue the NJ Child Support division to issue any warrants for his arrest. I agreed in writing and also stated that the Child Support should cease on 12/31/09 since she was done with college and was already in MEPs. Last week my ex called and said that he just received a payment book for child support for 2010. So I called the CS department and they said that I have to emancipate my 19 year daughter who now belongs to the United States Navy. I could have been a b-tch with my ex but I do not want him to pay for her while she no longer lives with me and is now an independent woman. I waited for 16 years for the courts to do something to get him to pay, and now that she is an adult, they decide they are gonna do something. My ex, myself, and my husband all mended our ways during PIR weekend and we all spent our time with Jess together. Now my hubby and ex texted all the time. Who woulda thought. Anyway, I had to drive my butt to our county seat on my last mandatory furlough day to sign a paper to emancipate my adult child when I could have been sitting on the beach. Of course I was not being the nicest person while I was there, but it is taken care of. And was given some very interesting information. New Jersey is the only state in the USA that you must legally emancipate their children when they move out or your home and do not need your support, get married, or join the military. How assine. I am a state employee and I know how screwed up NJ is, but I really think this the worst law ever. That means that if my daughter was still living at home and she got into any kind of trouble, I would be personally held accountable for my adult child.

Thank you for letting me vent, but now onto to some good news. Jess is now in Phase II has has full liberty beginning tonight at 10 pm and does not have to return to base until Sunday night at 10 pm. She can wear her civies and she is so excited. One of her friends is having a birthday this weekend and a whole crew of Sailors are gonna celebrate his birthday. She also said that she is 2.5 days ahead of schedule with ATT and hopes her leave for 8/13 through 8/15 is approved so she can go see Paul McCartney at the Wachovia Center. She was able to pre-purchase her tickets because she is military a week early and the day the tickets went on sale they were sold out in 15 minutes.

mikesproudmom - still keeping my fingers crossed that he gets into Nukes, but since scored so well to get offered Nukes and if he can't go, I am sure he will be offered another great rate. Jess's was offered Nukes, but it was not something she wanted to do so she was so happy when she was given FC, which is a great position with a lot of advancement and is very high demanding position when she retires from the Navy (she wants to be a lifer).

Beatrizm, I hope you got a chance to see the goofy video the girls did. Jess keeps telling me that they are Navy best friends which is awesome. Jess never makes close friends very easily and only has one at home, so I was so happy that her and Savannah have bonded. I think they both need each other during this journey.

Take care ladies, and again thank you for letting me vent. Off to do housework.

mikesproudmom - so happy for you and especially your son.

tammysue - I can't believe they can't clear up the pneumonia. Although I had bacterial pneumonia and it tooks months for it to totally be gone. Do you know what kind she has?

Iodine is used to purify water sources in areas when clean water is not available. SO glad that Mike's journey continues..
