Hi Guys!! My son said he thinks he will be done with his A school by the end of the month.. He is ready to go to Groton Ct. He told me to wait to come visit when he is in sub school. Said really not much around Meridian and its very hot. He also said he most likely only get to spend one day with me. I really wanted to go to Mississippi and hell its hot here in SE Ohio.. and we live in a very small town with nothing to do.. so i think Mississippi would be like home away from home..lol
Hope you and your Sailors are all doing well!!

Yesterday was his first full day in Mississippi, I called him in the mid morning to talk with him he told me he had a free day that day.. so we talk for a few min and he said he better get off he wanted to get his stuff moved in and put away.. I laughed so hard .. all he had was a backpack on his back when he arrived.. lol He call later and i said so how did the move in go? lol he said he went to the nex and bought new underwear .(hates whitey tighties) and did laundry .. so that was his big move in. Cell service was is not that good there and he did learn he is not aloud to be on the phone while they are walking ... Hung up on me very fast.. called back to let me know another sailor inform him of the big NO NO haha..
