HELLO Every body! been a while since I've stopped in just wanted to see how you all were doing! I've been moving for what seems like an eternity now and I still haven't made it to P'cola for good yet but I did go down and find an apartment. Hope all is well with you all! Talk to you soon!

Well Moms, interesting conversation about the tats. To say the least, I have one, wanted a ton more but stopped. I got mine while at Army schooling and thankfully now they tell the sailors which shops to avoid and how to care for them after they get them! They DID NOT do that for us and if it gets infected they can get in a heap of trouble. They know that now and we did not and I seen a few guys back in the day get in a lot of trouble over it.
On a side note about tattoos, if you know your kids are allergic to stuff try to talk them out of it. It isn't widely known but if you have a nickle allergy you can have problems with a tattoo.

she is fine. bored as hell down in Pensacola. She is kind of tired of the waiting already but that is to be expected.
How is your sailor doing? FC sounds like fun!
I just googled that that show and I am going to have to get the DVD. PBS always has really good shows. I told my wife about it and she said they showed that to them in GL and she didn't want to watch it. She didn't want to know what goes on. I guess being in the dark is more fun for her!

Just left the recruiters office. My 17 yr old son has decided to join. Same recruiter.. Told my son he has to lose 30 pounds before he can actually join up. That will be easy for him though. He isnt sitting around doing nothing and eating everything like we were in Texas. Panama City is so nice. Its wonderful to be back home. The weather is nice and sunny today and the beach is looking smooth. Now if only the spring breakers were quiet at 4 am.

Hi all - haven't stopped in for awhile. My sailor is in San Diego in SWCC school and loving every minute of it! He's definately loving the weather! Sorry to hear you're sick crystal, but glad you made it to PC... white sands, warm breezes.... ahhh...
Colleen - hope you enjoy Pensacola - the golf is supposed to be very good there...that's what I've been told - cuz I don't play....yet.
monica - still snow in Chicago? I believe it! I sure don't miss that!
Glad to hear everyone is still alive and YES - we did survive BC!
