Comment by lacbdave on September 13, 2010 at 12:16am: I like the name too. It's almost vulger without being vulger lol

Comment by Craig on September 12, 2010 at 10:37pm: PeggyM - I absolutely love the name USS Chicken Ship.... Man that is sooo funny.

Lydia et al - I too would love to see the 9/2 section stay alive. However, I know it won't. Much like our sailors, their highschool friends will slowly drift away, while they take in new friends at each command their at. It's part of life to grow with the group you're friends with. With renaming this section, I don't think we should. We should let it die with the glory it has.

What we as a group need to do is set the way the new group will run, and that is being our normal rowdy selves. We will slowly start adopting lots of other parents, spouses, BF, & GF along the way (maybe even a couple Dave's now and then).... With the new group, once people know that we will help and give advice to their problems and we have fun too, then we will slowly build a really tight group. We will laugh, cry, pray, scream & shout together. Heck, we might even form "hit-squads" to take out people we don't like ~ha (jhenderson you have 1st dibs on who we take out).... j/k

The bottomline is I would like to see our present group of members survive, but welcome others like us. Again, I'm just a member of this group just like everyone else. But my enjoyment is getting people involved with the Navy and helping people understand it.

Does this make sense?

Comment by lacbdave on September 12, 2010 at 10:23pm: She just posted on her facebook how could she be happy on her birthday, she is spending it alone.
Sucks reading that. Wish I could be with her so bad. I really hope the flowers get to her ok and they cheer her up a bit. Doesn't compare to me being there but it's better than nothing I guess.

Comment by lacbdave on September 12, 2010 at 9:35pm: Mary, I won't comment on where and how I got them yet. I will wait until tomorrow or the next day. I'm waiting because there are a few diff ways all this could turn out. Thanks to Craig on his help earlier. Once it all happens I will post my story what happened and how she got them. Don't wanna list anything until I see how good or ok my experience with the company is or if there is any issue at the base.
If it's all good I will post company, phone number I called, what I said the situation was to the person on the phone and the info I gave to them about her.
Kinda nervous wondering exactly how she will get them tomorrow. Will post here as soon after it's over.
Also having a special agent coming over to ask me questions about her too. I'm sure it will be ok, but still nervous about that too.
Prob gonna be a doughball or nerves till after the agent leaves and after she gets the flowers and calls me.

Oh yeah and Craig I told the woman on the phone what to write on the card and I ended it saying your ... Told her the pet name my girl calls me. She laughed. I said I'm sure u have heard much weirder stuff and she laughed like oh yeah. Had to spell it out for her since it's a madeup word. She laughed again after I spelled it when she realized exactly what it was. It could sound dirty to someone who doesn't know how she came up with it.

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on September 12, 2010 at 9:32pm: Sara - me too
Dave - you are so wonderful here and we love ya and your honey girl!!! think of you all the time!
Mary - glad you are back and feeling a bit better!

Comment by Mary-Ship 11 DIV300 PIR 9/2 on September 12, 2010 at 8:08pm: Hi Everyone,
Sorry haven't been on much lately, I came back from PIR bring one of their colds with me and have been knocked on my butt for days.

Craig, LOVE the idea of a new group and also love the Chicken Soup idea for a name. If our site gets closed down, we just need to add a number to it so we can regroup again and maybe just maybe try and behave ourselves (nah that would be no fun).

Dave, where did you order those beautiful flowers from that can be delivered to a base? My daughters birthday is in a few weeks and I would love to send her flowers. Got her a nex giftcard with our picture together on it, and purchased a PS coin for her, but would love to send her some flowers.

How has everyone been? Hearing more often from our loved ones? I know that I have been fortunate to catch my daughter on facebook almost daily. She should receive her own laptop tomorrow that I sent federal express, but she has been able to sign up for computer time in the liberty building on the base.

I am talking with other groups getting ready to graduate, and boy do I feel their pain. I know for a fact that without this site, the men carrying the white jacket with shiney silver buckles would have been on their way to come and take me away. You all are amazing!!!
