    Hey Jamie - I'm in Atlanta. I'm flying up, but only because I found a cheap ticket & figured it would probably cost as much in gas and coffee if I drove. I'll be staying at Hotel Indigo. It's a little further from base than I'd like, but it looks cute. Here's hoping. I shopped all day yesterday and ended up with 1 dress that I moderately like. Oh well... I'm just ready for it to be here! Only 12 more days!
    Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!

    Hi Jamie, wanted to welcome you to AECF group. I know you are counting down the days till you see your hubby. Has he found out if he will be an ET or an FC yet? Both are great rates and full of school the first couple of years which gives you an opportunity to move to GL and join him IF you want to. My hubby was an FC for 10 years and now our son is an FC and is serving in Hawaii. You will find our group to be active and full of support. Be sure to check out the wives thread within the group - lots of great info and people!

    It doesn't matter which job he gets as both are GREAT jobs. I suspect he is very busy this week getting ready for the final events leading up to his PIR. Hang in there - he's thinking of you!!!

    Hey! My husband, Vince, is still waiting to hear if he's ET or FC. Actually, I bet our hubbys know by now... we just haven't heard yet. The Meet & Greet is at the Ramada... You don't have to be staying there to attend. It's from 6-8pm on the Thursday before graduation. As far as I know its free. Should be neat to meet everyone on here. Hope you can make it. How long is the drive from TX? Should be interesting with 2 little ones!!! Good luck!

    Jamie- I would rather go to the dentist than go shopping again for a while. Urgh, it was just so stressful. I probably wouldn't have minded so much if I were working, but I've been waiting to get settled in Great Lakes before looking for a job. I've been living with my parents during boot camp, it's actually been great... I just didn't want to look for a job for 2 months. Can't wait to get to GL!

    That's wonderful that they're going to let you work from home! Has your husband said anything about an a-school hold???

    Hi back to you. He's doing good. The RDC's have really given him a hard time these last few days, I think they are just trying to get a rise out of him and see if he'll crack. Not once has he back talked or not done what they've told him to do over and over again. He told them he was raised to do what he was told and they were shocked. I'm so glad this part is over. How did your husband make it? I'm sure you and your kids can't wait till next week. It will be here before you know it. Even though I'm not gonna make to the meet n greet, I'm gonna be wearing a ribbon like the rest of you. Hopefully we'll be able to see through the tears to make each other out.

    Hey Jamie! I'm sure you're feeling as relieved as I am right about now. Actually, you're probably stressing about the last minute travel preparations. You leave Monday, right? Vince passed, of course, but I was much happier once I actually got the call. He sounded so exhausted and didn't have a whole lot to say. I figure it's because he was just sleepy and ready for it all to be over. I bet your kids are going crazy! I can't imagine how excited I would have been at that age to see my daddy after 2 months. I'm happy for your guys.

    Will you be looking at houses/apartments while you're up there this time? I haven't made any appointments, but someone mentioned it to me the other day and I was wondering what other people are going to be doing. I imagine Vince will want to just take it easy.

    Well, if I don't hear from you before you start your journey... drive safe and hopefully I'll get to meet you soon!!!

    Thanks Jamie! It was great meeting you & you're adorable family! I'll look at that site right now. I was leaning towards the Vernon Hills area b/c it's really nice, but also fairly pricy. I don't think Vince will go for it! Make sure to tell Joe 'thank-you' for me... I hear his name often when Vince is talking live ashore stuff. I have a feeling they're keeping each other on top of it. At least I get that feeling.

    I forget, is Joe an FC or ET? Does he know whereabout he is going for C-School? Vince will be in San Diego, but of course, we have Great Lakes to look forward to before that... I'm getting really excited. It was such a tease to have a husband for a weekend and then poof... he's gone again. It's driving both of us crazy.

    Hope you had a safe / enjoyable trip home. If you have any picked out, let me know which apartments you're leaning toward.

    Keep in touch-
    Tammy
