Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 15, 2012 at 8:06pm: Meegan, I am hoping it works for you. And I think you are doing the right thing. I bet he didn't think to log out from his phone so i bet it will work. Just make sure you write down the password you use lol so you can give it to him :-)

navyknitt22- I LOVE that they can tell whose mom's are on this site, soooo cool!!! I hope you are still gonna write everyday, now that the big rush of getting a whole bunch at once is over I am sure he will be glad to get one or two a day :-) Send him a questionnaire and maybe he will answer all your question lol.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 15, 2012 at 6:49pm: navyknit22 - "He said he could feel the love and could tell the other guys whose Moms are on Navy4 Moms".

That is too funny! Great post!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 15, 2012 at 6:48pm: Meegan - I hope that works for you...please let us know! HUGS again!

I peeked into the phone/computer room (next to the NEX) did not seem like tons of computers...mostly phones.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 15, 2012 at 4:19pm: Have fun, Juliebelle!

Meegan, ((hugs)) to you.

Comment by CTI_Beth'sMom1.0 (Ship2Div936) on June 15, 2012 at 4:09pm: @Juliebelle---I'm jealous but hope you have a great week completely free of electronics. That is the best part of camping, you can truly get away from it all. Stay safe!!

Comment by diannep on June 15, 2012 at 4:06pm: Good idea, Meegan. The way the computers work, from what we are told, is that they can pay a small fee and get some access time then after BattleStations. There probably aren't that many computers around there anyway...so he may not even try to get on one if the lines are long. I know you will be glad when you can finally deliver this awful news...and don't have to worry anymore about others telling him about it. But I know it won't be an easy task emotionally... :-(

Comment by Meegan on June 15, 2012 at 3:10pm: Hello everyone, I thought I would share. I talked to my son's recruiter this morning and he said he was not sure if they had access to a computer after battlestations but heard that it may be possible for 5 minutes. I can't take any chances and someone came up with the idea that I use his phone to access it (unless he logged himself off) I am plugging it in tonight when I get home and hopfully he did not log off. I will go in and change his password. I DO NOT want my son to hear about this loss that way. I want this to be a time to celebrate all he will have accomplished. I am hoping and praying that this works. I will explain why I did what i did after I tell him. I have already posted on his page to everyone not to write to him about it. I am hoping I have this covered. This morning I thought about him so much and cant wait to hear his voice. Congrats again to all of you that got phone calls!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 15, 2012 at 2:46pm: Loved reading about your letter CTI_Beth'sMom, I know it just warms your heart to know she is doing well. My daughter said the gas chamber was not near as bad as she thought it would be after that everyone finally started feeling better so I guess it is somewhat of a cure for Ricky Crud lol. I hope you get a nice long call very soon.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 15, 2012 at 2:06pm: Great post CTI_BethsMom!

Comment by Paige on June 15, 2012 at 11:44am: diannep, when i talk to him yesterday i was happy to hear that his div is coming together.. His letters had me worried.
