Hi all! I like when everyone comes back and updates! :)
My daughter is in Virginia Beach, VA for A school, then she'll have C school there as well. Her A school ends in Aug. then not sure how long C school will be.. depends on what specific job they give her. School is going well for her, tho her classmates seem to have gotten a little out of control. 5 from her class had to go to legal over memorial day weekend for underage drinking, buying for underage drinkers, being drunk and showing up for muster DRUNK.. one didn't even make it to muster! :/ The guys in her class have been harrassing the girls, so the girls had to go to the chief and tell them about it.. it seems to be taken care of, for now, but we'll see how the next few weeks go. It has been frustrating to some degree, b/c I thought once BC was over, it wouldn't be so stressful.. but A school has had its difficulties... hopefully she is on the up side now! :)We probably wont' see her til sometime in Sept/Oct. when c school is over and in between when she gets her assignment. so another long wait for us! :( Oh well!
Glad to hear the good news from everyone! :)Take care!

Hi so happy,
you sound good. How's your daughter? as far as our sailor he's doing really good. Very busy with his classes and homework, cherishes the weekends. It will be so good when you see your guy again! Do you know the plan for him after his break?

So happy ....for soh@appy. Congrats on your Sailor....I've been away and very busy with a week at a conference and a wedding I was in on Sunday. This month was exhilerating and exhausting in so many ways. I'm looking forward to a quieter month and gear up to see my Sailor for 4th of July weekend in San Antonio Tx. I can't wait to spend more time with him than the few hours we spent with him after graduation. I'm glad we can call and text now. I hope everyone had a great and prouder Memorial Day weekend. Our flags (US and Navy) were up. I think we will add a corpmans flag soon.
