Can someone help me figure out how to address to my son. I know BC was very specific. My son gave me a building and room number, also a Roberts ave. He' not a Recruit anymore so do I just put his name now? Thanks so much!

He has his civvies now, they FINALLY made it. I laughed so hard at how excited he was about "real" underwear.

Arwen, the NEX had an additional 50% off clearance merchandise. He could pick up some civvies real cheap. I got tons of t-shirts for $3-$5 a week or so ago.

Chris finished the one-day IT A indoc yesterday and began class today.

Chris is really into engineering and mechanics, he's constantly coming up with all kinds of ideas about "extreme machines" and extreme buildings. I always figured he'd eventually go to engineering school and build something amazing.
So one day we were on our way to firefighter training (he was a volunteer firefighter) and he started talking about the concept of a submersible aircraft carrier.
Here's the conversation that followed:
Me: Been done
Chris: No, I mean a real one, that can actually launch planes
Me: Yeah, a real one, the Japanese did it in WWII
Chris: No, I mean one that they can actually launch real planes with pilots, not remote control things
Me: Yeah, the Japanese did that in WWII and had two submersible carriers that had pilots and planes and everything
Chris: No, I mean one you can actually use in a war and all that, not just an experimental thing
Me: Yeah, and they bombed Brookings (the small Oregon town where we currently live)
Chris: !?!?!?! (looks at me as if I had two heads)
Me: Yeah, and the pilot came back and presented Brookings with his 400 year old family Samurai sword in apology
Chris: Yeah, right...
(a few minutes later, walking into the firefighter meeting, to the other firefighters)
Chris: (looking for a laugh) My mom says Japan bombed Brookings using an submersible aircraft carrier
Fellow firefighters: Yeah, and....?
Chris: !?!?!?!

LOL, I don't know what it is about the post office, Chris got really excited about the possibility of going there last week, not to get something, but just to go. Maybe it's just having a destination, rather than wandering, which is all he seems to be doing right now.

Good morning everyone! Chris called me this morning, feeling sorry for himself. He wants to go out and do something, but won't leave base (He's Phase II, he could if he wanted to) until he has his civilian clothes, which I shipped last week by the cheapest (and probably slowest) method we could. I told him to go to the NEX and buy something simple, even just a t-shirt and swimsuit to go to the beach, but he refuses to even consider it. Silly boy!

I dreamed of Chris last night. In the dream I and a lot of other parents were taking a tour of Chris' ship and we were given uniforms to try on (somehow mine had a mini skirt). Before we could take them off there was a surprise inspection and we ended up in it. The inspecting officer was freaked out because we were all fat and old.

Anyone's son attend a Hail and Farewell today?

ACE will go through the courses taken any time during his career and make a recommendation on what those classes would equate to. The fees would depend on what the school charges to review transcripts. He can ask his instructors, Chief, and Navy College.
