Wendy didn't know you had to sign with the omsbudsman, so she is going to look into it. she went to the wives meeting wednesday night. no news. they are selling alll sorts of miami stuff. she bought me a beautiful throw with a sub on it and miami and 755. call me stupid - whats FRG? I have learned more about what's going on from Wendy in this last year that from J.D. in 10 yrs!! There was also a miami refrigerator magnet. maybe keychains. i'm sure Wendy would pick up something for any of you at the next mtg if you wanted. they sell all this stuff to raise the money for the homecoming. am so glad to have found all of you guys!

LLovesmysailor, I would love to come to the homecoming too. I don't think my son has signed me up with the Ombudsman yet for that. Does the FRG have anything to do with our ability to take part? Be sure to PM me so I can be in Groton at least. If I attend alone, I will probably fly, too Deanne (from Michigan). No communication lately. May be awhile longer...

It sounds like we are going to have a regular N4Ms convention at the homecoming.

I know J.D.'s area had pups. I think he had one or more himself. like i said - he doesn't talk much! I have to fly up there. it usually takes all day. i worry about the weather, too. i prefer not to fly up in the winter, but i have a few times. he has been in groton for 10 years now. i know it well.

Catie, Haven't you heard. The Navy works in strange and mysterious ways.

LPO is the Lead Petty Officer for his division. He's an ET which means he's a reactor operator. He now has two Sea Pups, so hopefully he'll have more qualified ETs soon. We live just north of Pittsburgh, so we will have a 10 hour drive to get to Groton. Not bad, as long as the weather is OK.

i'm hoping to go to the homecoming too. i haven't been to one before. What's LPO? I don't get much of that kind of info out of J.D.! And I guess Nuke means he works on the reactor. I'm in Texas. How far are you having to travel to get to the homecoming?

My son is a Nuke and closed mouth does not even come close, when you are talking about Nukes. He also said that his division is short handed. I think he will be the LPO during this deployment, which is not suppose to be 6 months long.......
During the last deployment, which lasted 9 months, we didn't hear from Alex for nearly 3 months at one point. However, he was in the process of getting his Fish. So, that would explain a lot of why we didn't hear from him. I'm planning on going to their home coming. I went to the last one and wouldn't miss my last chance to be there when his sub comes home.

thanks girls. My daughter-in-law was much relieved when I called her this morning and said others haven't heard either. J.D. told us we wouldn't hear for a while, but Wendy seemed to think he meant another phone call.
J.D. is an FT1. He does "fire control". He works on the computers that fire the torpedoes. He is very close-mouthed. Neither Wendy nor myself get much out of him as far as where they are or what they are doing. He has only been assigned to the Miami for a couple of months. He indicated that his division did not have an excess of experienced help and that he would be working a lot during the whole deployment. This is Wendy's first 6 month deployment since they met and married. It is my third. He did two while on the Philadelphia. He's just off a shore assignment in Groton. I understand this boat will have some dry dock time in Kittery, Maine after the long deployment. J.D. has been there before and liked it a lot better than Connecticutt. He is looking forward to that - and that is one reason he chose that boat. Would love to keep in touch with all of you. I hope my daughter-in-law will joing too. Deanne

Dianne, Welcome to our little group. What is your son doing on Miami? We'd love to hear about him.
Like Lorraine, I haven't heard froom Alex since he called from Spain. He said they'd be busy and not to expect to hear from him. I also got confirmation that he's getting my e-mails, so they must be busy. I am waiting to hear from him so I can renew his registration, for his car, while he's gone. He left me a POA but not his insurance information and milage. The state of PA doesn't care, but he can't drive his car onto base with an expired registration. So, I hope I hear from him sometime soon.
