Comment by Mary-Ship 11 DIV300 PIR 9/2 on September 11, 2010 at 11:29am: Good Morning Everyone
So glad to see that everyone is still chatting it up on here. I joined the site for "A school in Mississippi" but only 1 or 2 posts per week. I have been able to talk with my daughter on facebook twice, she said it is quite the walk to the Liberty Center. I sent her laptop yesterday to her but she will still have to walk to the Liberty Center to get a signal. She hasn't started school yet, still processing. She said she is in a 3 room unit, with 3 girls in each room. The girls that are there have been there quite some time and are not very friendly, so my daughter isn't too happy about that, but she said that is okay its only a temp. situation (this kid finds the good in everything).

My thoughts and prayers are with those that may have lost friends or loved ones 9 years ago today. This is a day that should never be forgotten. My cousin was to be in that building if she wasn't running behind in dropping off her two kids to daycare.

Two days after coming home from PIR weekend I have come down with a pretty nasty cold (not surprised since everyone was coughing up a storm), my daughter says "I don't want to hear it, I was sick the entire time in GL", so no sympathy from her LOL... She says it is hot as hell in Mississippi and can't wait to get out of there!

Hugs to all,
Mary

Comment by lacbdave on September 11, 2010 at 11:11am: Oh ok then. Not as jealous anymore lol

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on September 11, 2010 at 11:09am: Dave, THU is Temporary Holding Unit. He is still at GL, waiting to head to A school in SC.

Comment by lacbdave on September 11, 2010 at 11:03am: Jealous of those phasing up so fast.
Off base liberty during the week too? wow.
Making me think I may not have to wait so long for my girl to get to phase 3. I will still assume just over a month though.
What base is he on Michimom? What's THU?

Anyone else with a sailor at Corry Station in Pensacola?

Comment by oregonmom1 (ship06/Div942pir9/2) on September 11, 2010 at 10:47am: Crystal~ I took my sailor's grad picture to the newspaper Wednesday and requested they print it with the announcement. They called the next day to verify some information, and it will run in this mornings paper. Maybe a little nudge will work?

Comment by diannep on September 11, 2010 at 10:43am: HA, Michimom: So you are picturing your son out on the town in his socks, underwear and sneakers only, right? Wow, what a sight! HA! My son never had me send any civies....he ended up buying just a few items at the NEX for great prices! Nice clothes too! I bet your son will go "shopping!"

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on September 11, 2010 at 10:32am: Got a text from my son last night. He’s still in THU, waiting for a spot to open up in nuke school. They’re keeping him busy, I guess. He was going to call last night, but he was helping a senior chief out with projectors for the chief’s ball.

Then this morning he texted again. He has phased up and now he can wear civilian clothes off base and stay out till 2300 (he underlined this!), and have off base liberty during the week. The funny thing is, the only civilian clothes we brought him were underwear, socks, and his sneakers. LOL I asked him if he wants us to send him some stuff; or maybe he’ll go shopping.

We thought we’d hear from him a lot since he now has his phone, but that’s not the case. He did say he’s been busy, plus the reception isn’t so great. He has to hunt around outside to a good spot to call, and that’s a pain. I do text him to say hi every other day or so, but I am a bit jealous of those who hear from their new sailor every day. Then again, this is mom and dad and sis we’re talking about; might be waaay different if there was a girlfriend in the picture. J

Comment by lacbdave on September 11, 2010 at 10:12am: I have a cousin whose husband worked there. I was told he was on his way there and forgot a briefcase or something at home, turned back to get it and it all happened before he got back.
I was like wow.

Comment by diannep on September 11, 2010 at 10:07am: Lydia: So sorry about your friend....

Comment by diannep on September 11, 2010 at 10:06am: There is a mom on the 10/1 site who lost her brother in 9/11. One of those "wasn't supposed to be in the office that day" stories. Prayers for all of those who lost loved ones on this tragic day 9 yrs ago...and blessings that although we will never forget them, we will not be defeated and although forever changed, life will go on.
