Yes msvines, I did joing that facebook page you are talking about. I am sure that was hard to say good bye. I was talking to mine on the phone and I teared up saying goodbye on the phone. It is hard either way. I am glad you enjoyed your time with him though.

My sailor is and E5 and a CTR, cryptology. He has been in for 4yrs now. Is thinking of getting out here in a couple of years, unless that has changed since he told me that last. He changes his mind all the time. As for me, I am married for 10 yrs now, today, ya me, and between the 2 of us we have 4 kids. I have 2 of my own from a previous marriage and now 1 between me and my hubby now, I aslo have a stepdaughter too. The ages run from 22, 19, 18, and 8. I am in school for Radiographer and will done in 2 yrs. I have already been going for 3 yrs now doing all the prereq's and other classes so i wouldnt have so much to do when I started the program. I am excited to be done in a couple of yrs because I have not worked in 3 yrs. I like being home with my daughter but I need my own money too. I also have cat, not that matters but just throwing it out there. We live in a small town in PA. So there is about myself and my kids. My kids as you all know one sailor, then my other one is a an Airman in the Airforce. My daughter keeps me very busy, girl scouts, Pioneer club and other things we do with her. Her name is Mia, (Mya). She is in 3rd grade now and man the time is flying with her as well. I just think in another 10 yrs she will be embarking on a new journey as well. The last 20 have gone by so fast, so will they. Well wanted give you guys a little background on me.

Mary, it is nice to know we all have each other to rely on because some just don't understand how we feel at times. So you are welcome.
Comment by Mary on September 14, 2011 at 8:18am

Once I talked to him yesterday he said he was going to try to call to day but he is hoping to skype with us.  Just to hear his voice as well as see him does my heart good.  Yes i pass along info when he calls to his brother, whom i think he is a little jealous that he is not getting  a few more calls. 

 

Yes thank you for starting the chat group.  I don't check it as oftenas i should but it is nice to know that you Moms are there. 

Have a good day.

My son did tell me where they are and not sure if he was suppose to but I asked and he told me.

Lorraine sounds like a good deal here. Mine never tells me that much in his emails. He is not a talkative one that boy, that is for sure. My other one though, man he is like me talk talk talk, LOL.

Man is it ever doing a lot of booming outside but it is not raining. On my way home from school tonight the sky was lit up every 2 seconds i swear. It sure was pretty though. It would lightening and behind the clouds and wow it was beautiful.

 

Welcome to all the newbies too. Sorry haven't had a chance to say hello yet. Jump in and tell us all about you and your sailor.

In the next month or so you guys may not hear from me too often. I have lots going on. I have classes 4 days a week and then on Mondays I am starting a girl scout troop with a friend for our girls. then Weds. my daughter has Pioneer Club. I don't know how I am going to do it but I will manage. I don't have to stay for Pioneer Club so that is good thing.

I am so happy that I made this group and found new friends. So excited that it is growing each day.

Yes we got a phone call this weekend and hearing hisa voice is like music to my ears.  I don't go anywhere with out my cell which he calls us on.   No we don't care what time he does we are just so excited to hear him.   We are still learning what we can ask and what we should not.  Curiousity kills the cat.   From looking at banking info we think we know where ihe is at.

Me too Me too. Ya us. I was getting ready to start class and got my phone call. Unfortunatly couldn't talk that long about 20 minutes but it was sooooooo good to here his voice. I tried so hard not to cry when going to hang up but got teary eyed anyways. The funny part is I called him pumpkin when I went to hang up. I am so use to talking to my daughter and that is what I call her when I hang up from her on the phone. We just laughed and then I said I love and miss you buddy. I told him at least I got a laugh out of you. LOL. It was so funny because then I was sitting in class thinking about it and would just chuckle to myself. I am still smiling about it. I told him to call back when I could talk longer and told him what times I am in class. I tols him I don't care what time it is when he calls either. But so happy for us that have heard from our sailors. It really brighten my day and I am sure it did yours as well . Well gotta go and study but hopefully we hear from them again. :) :) :)

Welcome Mary, glad you could join us. Feel free to talk and tell us about your sailor. What does he/she do on the Port Royal? Mine is a CTR and he is an E5. How long has your sailor been in? Mine 4 yrs now. Well join in and welcome once again.

Yes I think the last package I sent to him he did get in about 10 to 12 days. I asked him about the rackpacks and he said he already ordered them. Darn it, I thought I had a good idea for him. He always does that to me :( oh well will just think of  a new idea. I did get an email from him today. He is responding quicker now. He said they will be port in the next couple of days. So just so you guys know maybe expect some phone calls soon. YA US.

Well that was weird. I just got and computer update from skype. Has that ever happened to anyone else? It said my security needed updated. It gave me a website but not sure if I should check it out or not.

Well you guys have a great weekend. Not sure of what is happening here this weekend but probably not much. Have a good one anyways.

Ya Porn would not be good BunkerQB, that was funny.
Comment by BunkerQB on September 8, 2011 at 10:21pm
Caddy Shack. I just google "Caddy Shag" and found out it is some hardcore porn movie. Your son will be flabbergasted if you went from Brokebeck Mountain to porn.
