Comment by Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on December 2, 2010 at 12:46am: Oh my Ellen! Thank God your family came through it. What an extremely horrible day for all of us. Our boys joining the Navy does bring honor to all the victims and heroes that died on that day...the ultimate cost of freedom, our boys will now be part of a greater good to preserve that freedom for all us. In my next letter to Charlie, I'm going to remind him of this. It's good for us all to remember and not take for granted what we have in the USA. My heart hurts for the loss of your friends.

Comment by mycoz (Ship 7, Division 050) on December 1, 2010 at 11:11pm: WOW Ellen - please do not apologize. As terrible as it was it is a part of our country's history. I was fortunate not to know anyone directly involved. Hearing you talk about the friends you lost really puts things into perspective. Thank you for sharing all of that with us.

Comment by Ellen B on December 1, 2010 at 9:19pm: Wow, what a small world, Gina! Yes, Brodheadsville is the next town over from Effort. My son had attended Pleasant Valley High School, was in the marching band there, but was homeschooled the last 2 years. School district has lots of issues. He did so well in Charter School and graduated with honors. I understand the whole tax thing, but for us, it was less than where we came from...Long Island, NY. We used to travel through the Poconos to visit my eldest son at Penn State and fell in love with the area.
After 9/11 and losing so many friends and my husband's work consultants, former co-workers, I found it hard to put him on the LIRR to Manhattan every day. My husband was in Midtown that day, forced from his building several times from bomb threats. I thank God he wasn't downtown-a scheduling change (creepy) prevented him from working in 3 WTC. My eldest was at PSU as the one plane that those heroes downed out in PA flew over his dorm. Corey was in lock down in Middle School and all I could do was watch the horror on TV and try to get through to my husband giving him updates on ways out of the city. He almost walked with the masses over the bridge, but train service had opened up and, after several calls, I got him to go that route. I didn't care if it crawled all the way to Long Island, just that he came home. For weeks after, we went to funerals, memorial services with snipers on roof tops and armed troops on street corners.
Needless to say, it left quite a scar on our family and is one of the major reasons both of my boys went into the Navy. We moved out to PA and feel a bit "safer". My husband still commutes to NJ to work, but you do what you have to do.
I know this horror effected us all on some level, but I am extremely proud of my son's decision to serve his country.
Wow, sorry I went on like that. It's nearly 10 years since that fateful day, but it feels like yesterday.

Comment by Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on December 1, 2010 at 8:47pm: I had to look up Effort on the map. My parents moved to AZ from Brodheadsville just a couple of years ago. They couldn't handle the school tax or the cold anymore. Small world!

Comment by Ellen B on December 1, 2010 at 4:17pm: Love it, Gina!!! LOL...looks like the rain has lessened...cold front rollin' into "Pennsyltucky", so any precip now will be the white stuff. RTC showed flakes coming down there for the first time this season. Thought one of the recruits sweeping the walkway was mine...can you say, "wishful thinking"?!!

Comment by Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on December 1, 2010 at 2:39pm: Keep that mantra going Ellen! Good grief with the rain, when is it going to let up for you? I used to live in Lancaster, PA so, I know how severe the weather can be there for yuns. (Like the "yuns"?)

Comment by Ellen B on December 1, 2010 at 12:59pm: Oh, well..."no news is good news"...:(

Comment by Ellen B on December 1, 2010 at 12:43pm: Gina-only 12!!! LOL... Great info, by the way...We are a small, yet mighty group here:)
And yes, the infamous daily mailbox 'stalking' once again. Only, I really should have built that ark yesterday...major flooding and no signs of stopping! Well, nothing's going to prevent me from getting to that box!!!

Comment by Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on December 1, 2010 at 10:41am: Good Morning Ladies! Another mailbox watch day has begun :) Poor ol' mailmen, no wonder they go postal...LOL
Tash - no worries about your questions, ask away. We will never be able to call our dear SRs while at bootcamp, they will call us when they are allowed to do so. The call could come at anytime after 3 weeks. What I have learned thus far, is the fact that none of us has received a call yet is actually very good news. This means our SRs are healthy and doing well. There is only 2 reasons why you would receive a call prior to week 3, if they or their Div. did something exceptionally well (not likely, its hard to impress a RDC the first few weeks) or if there is some health or emotional issue with the SR that may cause them to delay PIR or be discharged. So, I am actually relieved each day that I don't get a call for now. After week 3, that will be a different story. Feel free to ask Ellen and I anything, we are on this site poking around and gaining new info everyday. She and I are absolutely addicted to this site. Ellen - we should consider a 12 step program after PIR :)
