Glad you got to hear from both of your boys Sheryl. Jamie called yesterday and we were able to talk finally. He is such a nut and I can't wait to see him. I heard that Max was settling in and he's not too far from Jamie's room. And you right, he's happy so you're happy!!

Hi, I know when Stephen got to Naples he was able to sleep so that was nice. I am glad the sailors are getting there safe. I think Stephen was the only sailor on capo for a long time out of this group. It is a much smaller base but ladies don't worry they are safe on base. Support Side is much bigger. Who is coming to Great Lakes? I live around 45 minutes from there if you need any help with anything just ask. My son is working out of Great Lakes so if you have any questions about Naples and we cannot answer it I will ask Stephen for you. That makes your day when you hear from your sailor I remember those days. Hope everyone is well, take care!

LOL Sheryl - I know it's very "cold" but if I hadn't started a FB page, I wouldn't talk to my son hardly at all!! He'll send a text every now and then, but it eats up the minutes on his plan. Email is always good too, but still not quite the same. And Skype hasn't been so great the last couple of times we've used it. Ugh! Jamie and I used to be able to talk a lot and sometimes I really miss that. Glad to hear you heard from the son in bootcamp. My goodness, you have some craziness going on in your household right now! Are you going to make it to the next PIR?
