Comment by Jeannie (ET) on June 9, 2010 at 9:29pm: Hi all. Been awhile since I have been on this site. I talk to my son often now that he has a cell - it is so wonderful. Congratulations SailorMoes"Fiancee - so happy for you. Tammy - I hope Bailey is getting better every day. I mentioned bailey to my son and he said he knows her.

lovemysailor - yes Florida is like that & can't wait to see pics of your new addition to the family.

My son Ryan is in A school at Great Lakes - he will be there for up to 2 years - for A & C school. He is an ET(advanced electronics) I think. I am glad for that as we live in western IL just 3 hours away so he will be home often and we will be able to go up there often too. Soon his wife and my only 2 grandchildren will be joining him up there so I am glad they will be close. He signed up for 6 years and I know at some point he will be farther away so I will enjoy the time they are close by.

Comment by Patty_CDS on June 9, 2010 at 9:15pm: Hi everyone! How do we order a DVD of PIR. My son didn't want it but I do.
Tammy...How is Bailey?

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on June 9, 2010 at 7:21pm: Beatrim...Jess was so dissappointed when they moved her to another BQ, but she started ATT today as well. She is hoping that Savannah gets moved to her BQ soon. They still hang out though and went shopping on Saturday. I know that they chat almost everyday either texting or fb. Jess had to breakdown and buy verizonn wireless internet because she was having problems with getting the the wifi in her new BQ. Of course she put it on my account and promised to send me money for that and her cell phone. We will see how much that works out. But I am glad that her and Savannah have become good friends. I know that Jess really misses not sharing a bunk with her. She tells me everynight that she misses rooming with her. Jess is so excited to be able to wear civies for this weekends liberty. Everynight she asks for more things to be sent.

CONGRATULATIONS SailorMoes"Fiancee". Have you planned a wedding date yet? Please keep us informed and post pictures of the wedding.

lovemysailor....best of luck on your upcoming addition to the family. At least you will be all together for the birth. And don't forgot to post some pictures of the little one.

I ordered the DVD and they said it would be 4 to 6 weeks before it arrives.

mikesproudmom....it sounds like all is going in the right direction for your son, but i am with you on preparing for the worst, but hoping for the best. Just keep thinking positive.

Take care ladies and I will check in soon.

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on June 9, 2010 at 2:21pm: SailorMoesFiancee--congratulations, that's great news! Is he going to be in San Diego for A school? It's very nice out there. I have relatives in the area and i've been to visit a few times, always enjoyed it. Lots to do, a big city, but friendly.
lovemysailor, any day now! The heat and humidity won't go away, it's Florida, daily rains are the norm, but you'll feel better after the baby comes. Let us know when the big day happens...
I didn't order a DVD, wish I had,so I'm not much help there.
tammyw, Savannah met JP the other day,. so now she knows who I'm talking about. Savannah is officially off hold, starts ATT today and will be moved either today or tomorrow. She sound pretty excited about it, and very glad that she's finally starting. She opted for night classes, so she can sleep in in the mornings. (Sleep was always very important to her...hehehe)

Comment by Tamijzr07 on June 9, 2010 at 2:11pm: we haven't received it yet either :)

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on June 9, 2010 at 1:29am: Thank you so much! We are both extremely excited. =)
I just can't hold back all the smiles!
It feels like I am the luckiest girl in the whole world.
He ended up proposing to me right before he left to fly back
to San Diego after his 3 day visit. He's trying to come back out for the 4th of July weekend. Thank goodness for this hold lol

Comment by Tamijzr07 on June 8, 2010 at 2:40am: OooHHH! Sailor MoesGirl ! I just noticed the name Change to SailorMoesFiancee :)
Congrats and Best Wishes for You Both !

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on June 7, 2010 at 11:34am: Tammyw-- thanks for the info on the GM group; I'll check it out. She seems to be doing okay, getting to meet people and she, too, took the finance course. I understand that doing well in A school is the best way to ensure getting your top pick when it comes to assignments, so I've told her to study a lot. :)

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on June 2, 2010 at 12:38pm: Thanks for the update TammySue. Thank God her heart is ok. With enough rest and meds Bailey should be healed up soon. Please keep us up-to-date on her progress. She is still in our prayers.
