Collen, that is so true, before they left on deployment, there were times I got busy and didn't call him for a couple of weeks. So, he would call and want to know if everything was ok.

E3 and above can live off the ship, they do not have to be married. The BAH depends on what state they live in and their pay grade. It will take him 2-3 months to get approved. Have him check the barricks or Military housing first.

Ladies, I need your prayers for a friend of mine Terry, she found out this week she has a Thorasic Compresson Fracture in the T8 vertara in her back, she is in a lot of pain and will be having surgery to cement the fracture and a bone biopsy. she had a MRI this week and the surgen thinks she may have bone cancer. The surgery is next Wed in the AM (no exact time yet). She is a Navy mom and a very good friend. If anyone would like to send her a card email me and I will give you her name and address. Please she needs our prayers.
