    Hi Ladies:
    Spent last weekend with Matt in San Diego. It was so good to see him. He hasn't changed one bit! I did not go on base because it is so small, you can see the whole thing just by driving by. Much smaller than an average high school. They have a parking lot across the street from the base with a walk-over bridge and that's where I picked up/dropped off Matt. I did not get to see any other sailors :(
    I'm still in California and will return to Tucson next week. More later.

    None of them are mine :) But they sure look good, don't they?

    Hello Ava:
    I think you may be the first sonar mom with a son going to Groton. He must be getting ready for submarines??

    I haven't heard of Sonar/FIR control but that doesn't mean anything. Maybe on a sub they have to multitask?? Any suggestions, all you sonar moms?

    Hi All, My son Tim had his PIR on Friday (9/26) and just arrived in San Diego today. He will be doing Advanced Surface Sonar training. I heard from him while he was in the airport in Chicago, but haven't heard from him since he arrived in San Diego. Can anyone tell me what his frist week will be like?

    Hi Denise, I'm sorry your son had a hard time in San Diego. Hopefully my son will see the better side of things! I did hear from him last night and he is so happy being away from Great Lakes. His roommate was from his division at boot camp, so at least he knows him already. Anyone else have info on what school will be like?
