You ladies are so blessed that you have a stable head on your shoulders,  with that kind of attitude you will go far!!  There's not many that think that far ahead of themselfs that's GREAT!!

good idea. we met my sophomore year in college. i have graduated and have a job that can (hopefully!) support us while he gets his degree. he's just done with the navy. he wants to do something different.

everyone asks me if my fiance would go career. it has never crossed his mind. he likes the navy, but he wants to come home.

well ladies we got some exciting news this week. My sailor is coming home earlier that expected!!! 

He was originally scheduled to get out February 2012, but he put in for early out back in January so he could enroll in college.  Well in February he was informed that they lost his chit and he could try again. He decided not. He didnt want to go through the headache again....WELL right before deployment he received word that it was at BUPERS waiting for final approval. Then the dreaded early deployment...we figured nothing would happen since they were out, but it was approved. He has talked to whoever he needed to talk to and applied for terminal leave. so if all goes well he will be home this summer! It was such great news I wanted to share it. 

 

I'm still praying for a quick and short deployment for the rest of you so you can get your sailors back soon!

Good afternoon ladies! There is a message on facebook that there is no popcorn on the ship. So if you sailor likes popcorn that would be a good item to send to them.

I am taking a risk and sending my sailor some no bake peanut butter, chocolate and oatmeal cookies. I am going to seal them individually with my food saver. if they melt, they should set back up so he can eat them..if not, well its the thought that counts i guess. :)

My son has been on numerous deployments (he's been in for 18 1/2 years) one thing I discoverd when sending him home baked items is to put in a metal tin.  I line the tin with a double layer of plastic wrap then put the cookies in and wrap it tight, put the lid on the tin and put packing tape around the lid.  He says its really fresh when he gets it.   

 

Also for those having birthdays while on deployment, if you have one of the cookie companies at your mall, they sell a tin that holds a cookie (I even had them write Happy Birthday Joe on the cookie), when I got it home I crumpled wax paper and put it on top of the cookie (places that didn't have writing or icing decoration)  before sealing the lid, that helped to keep the cookie from flipping over on the lid during shipping so the writing didn't  smash and smear.  he said it made it almost perfectly intact!!   Hope this helps............smiles, Connie

I bought the 20 dollar food saver from walmart, you buy the bags, it works really well.My son has a birthday in July so the cake in a jar sounds like a good idea, i have been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to get a cake to him. Last year for his birhday he was in A school so i had a cake delivered to him from a local bakery, he was surprised. I told him moms can always figure out how to do things or find out things, we are good detectives,Lol
