msvines, LOL. Hahahahahahahaha. Your son still speaks to you? Since "Don't ask. Don't tell." has been done away with, maybe he could donate the movie to the ship's library. I love the movie - such beautiful cinematography and wonderful score.

Oh my I laughed when I read you sent Brokeback Mountain. I could see the look on my sons face if he got that DVD. I will have to ask him if wants and movies and those PJ bottoms for him, hmmm those sound like good Christmas gifts. Now I am thinking. I did send him lots of snacks, a Steeler towel from his aunt, a Steeler hat from his Mema, and a ton of other things I can't remember. Oh his mema got him swimming trunks but I highly doubt he will wear them EVER, they were more for and older guy but she got them so I sent them, LOL. Then one of my N4M's on my Allmoms site sent him a package as well. He really liked all of it. So how often do you guys send packages? What are those Rackpack things anyways?  Well talk to you guys tomorrow. Have a great night.

Thanks Lorraine. I am just curious myself.

Comment by Marcy on September 7, 2011 at 5:40pm
msvines, I don't know what they are either. Will maybe have to work on finding out about these.
Comment by Marcy on September 7, 2011 at 5:37pm
Lorraine not that I know of the night check thing you are talking about. i know I get so confused to at times. I dont' think I will ever understand it. LOL.
Comment by Marcy on September 7, 2011 at 5:34pm
Lorraine, my other son is in the Airforce, so yes in a different branch. I forgot there are Airmen in the Navy as well.

They left I think at the end of June. Am I right Lorraine?

Well we will be looking forward to getting to know you as well. Don't be a stranger even if he is not on the ship yet.

I don't know how we decided on June it just sounded like a good time and plus I go to school as well so we have to wait until then anyways with my clinicals and stuff. That is all I will have to do for the summer semester is my clinicals, Oh I am going for Radiographer. My spring semester isn't done until May something and I have 240 hours of clinicals to do then and then in summer I am sure we have that many as well. June just sounded like it could be the right time for us to go. My son was home before deployment as well. He  was home over Memorial Day weekend. Wow that seems like it has been so long ago now. He even got to go camping with us while he was home. He has never gotten to do that with us because we didn't get a camper until after he had left. So it was nice that he was home for almost 2 weeks. It will be nice to go to HI to see him because then I can have him all to myself and won't have to share him with his dad and the rest of my family. I can spend quality time with him that I have been wanting for a long long time. I am sure you understand. His dad and i are divorced and we are both remarried now. I actually have a 10 yr anniversary coming up here on the 15th. Anyways, I am looking forward to not sharing him with even my mom and sis or anyone. Plus on the Hawaii site they say June is a great time to be there. It isn't that hot and is good weather too. I heard Feb. is a rainy month for them. See on those HI sites you get a lot of info from them. So stay on those sites and ask anything you want they are very informative. My son lives on Pearl Harbor in Aiea, I hope i spelled that right. He shares a place with a friend of is on the ship. He is an E5 now and I hope he gets to and  E6 before gets out. I would really like him to stay in but last I heard and talked to him about it he would be getting out in 2013. Ya I will check with him on when he can get leave for us to come down and see what all he has to do before we go too. I am sure if I ask if he can get leave at a certain time he should be able to. I hope anyways. He is the reason we are going, LOL. My other son who is the Airman is in Iraq and I want him to be able to meet us there from Japan. He said it depends on if he gets deployed again somewhere else. Plus he is really wanting to come for the holidays.  There I would have both my boys in HI all to myself. I know I am being selfish but I am a mom and I am allowed to, LOL.

Well have a great day.

Julie, have you heard from your sailor latley. I got an email the other day. He said not much to report. He nevers has much to say. I did send him a pic of his little sis on her first day of school. He got it. Now someone on one of the other sites said he probably wouldn't get it. He did though. So they probably moniter,sp, on what goes thru though. I want to send him another package too. This will be our first Christmas he hasn't been home since he left for the Navy. I have been pretty lucky in that sense. He usually came home after Christmas the last couple of times but before that he was home for Christmas. He says everything is going ok on the ship nothing to report. So i guess we can take that as good news, LOL.
