Comment by carmen (maa mom) on May 24, 2012 at 7:42pm: Cant believe it has been a year since my sailor son graduated from bootcamp. Now Im excited to say that tomorrow my nephew will be graduating as well from bootcamp. Great job men!!!! I am very proud of you all and keeping the military going :)

Comment by jbird on October 27, 2011 at 6:20pm: Hi Soonergirl,

He is indeed in Charleston, well, actually goose creek. Our sailor loves the area where he is too except, like you, the humidity. It must get bad for him to say something about it..

Did B switch what he originally went in for? Has he had a visit home yet? Yes, our sailor gets his first leave in Nov. 10 days..YAYYY!! No time home for Christmas but I got to thinking about that..Maybe they'll get a few days off from school. Unlikely but never say never! That'll make it a very Happy Christmas!

Is where B is now far from home?

Comment by soonergirl99 12/159~5/6/11~Big E on October 26, 2011 at 9:29pm: Thanks jbird! Is your son in Charleston? My sister (10 years older) and brother-in-law (former Navy) were stationed in Charleston in the mid-70's. We was a computer tech (when the computers took up rooms of space) on the USS William H. Standley (destroyer CG-32). I spent a summer in Charleston with my sister and absolutely loved it ~ other than the humidity! B is switching to the security force division (ISF/NSF) within the next few weeks so we don't know at this time what leave, if any, he'll have for the holidays. The Enterprise will deploy some time early to mid 2012 and they'll do some short runs out starting in mid-January. Will you son be home for the holidays (or any other time in the near future)?

Comment by jbird on October 26, 2011 at 8:48pm: Soonergirl-I wish i could say my sailor was there for your son but he's just a bit further South in SC. I'll sure keep an eye and ear out and will check back if it turns out one of our 5/6 sailors is near B. Does he get to visit home any time soon?

Comment by soonergirl99 12/159~5/6/11~Big E on October 26, 2011 at 6:17pm: Are there any sailors from the 5/6/11 PIR who are stationed in Norfolk and especially on the USS Enterprise? B is feeling somewhat homesick and would like to connect with others he "knows" or has things in common ~ i.e., bootcamp with the same PIR.

Thanks!

Gina

Comment by Sherry/Coreysmom/1201-5 on October 6, 2011 at 12:42pm: Got a nice surprise from my boss yesterday. She is letting me have off Nov 4 so I can be in GC for A school grad. I know this graduation is not a big deal compared to Power School Grad. The main thing is that Corey needs a ride home for his leave and it is the perfect opportunity for me to have him all to myself for a few hours. Of course, the last time I drove up to get him, he slept the whole way home. Maybe I should let my dad go get him & I drive him back? Naw, I'd rather say hello at GC than goodbye.

Comment by jbird on October 5, 2011 at 8:24am: Hi Sherry and Jsparkle-

Sherry-my son is an ET as well. sounds like he's on the same schedule as your son. Graduates his first phase in Nov then on to power.Oh ya, mine is 1134!

Jsparkle-my son seems to really enjoy school. He's doing really good too. He enjoys the restaurants in charleston very much but he totally loves the bowling alley on base. He even bought himself a new ball last week. All in all he seems content. You're not fond of Goose creek huh? I've never been there. Congratulations on the new baby on the way!!!

Comment by Sherry/Coreysmom/1201-5 on October 4, 2011 at 1:20pm: jbird, what class is your son in?

Comment by Sherry/Coreysmom/1201-5 on October 4, 2011 at 1:15pm: Jsparkle, I'm so sorry you're having such a bad time at GC. My son is ET and will graduate A school on Nov 4. He has decided not to come home this weekend because he wants to put a lot of study time in for the test on Tue. He messed up bad on one test and is now not graduating with honors but is determined to make the grade for distinction. I won't be able to get back to GC till spring because of my work schedule. We are really looking forward to seeing him forhis grad leave in Nov.

Congrats on the upcoming addition!

Comment by Jsparkle (MM Wife) on October 3, 2011 at 10:02am: yes our house is on base. the base houing isnt to great but its better than living in goose creek which to me is ghetto. we are hoping to stay here for proto, we wanted NY at first but since im due 2 days after his power school grad we dont want to move with a baby. im from the valley in california. if you put your finger in the very middle thats where my little cow town is at lol how is your son liking school? my husband said A school was pretty easy but he only had to do 3 months of it. and we like T track alot since he can be home with me and our son most of the week.
