    thank you for the info. My son is in the group that's stuck there indefinitely because of the equipment breakdown and his lease is up on the furnished apt they had and can't extend as the owner is returning for race season. moving into an unfurnished place and just needs a bed and a few things. I'll pass this on to him.

    PatM...i, I see you have changed your Username (probably some time ago) so that it no longer contains what appears to be your full name; you also need to change the URL to this page. Make change 2 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile)  (clickable link) to take care of that. (If you are using a Smart phone, you will need to switch to Desktop View to make this change.)

    Also make change 3 while you are there so that this page is no longer open to EVERYONE (Anyone) with access to the web.

    There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

    Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP Code to one that is not easily associated with you or your Sailor.

    You may also want to update your "About me:" section to reflect your current situation.

    Hi and thanks for "friending" me!

    Last I talked to my son (things seem to change so quickly!) he said SUNY-Maritime College was a strong option for him. The other one is Iowa State, in Ames. Talk about 2 completely different settings! Either smack-dab in the middle of Iowa or in the Bronx. I think either one will be culture shock after growing up in Oregon, then living in Charleston for almost 2 years.

    He's an ET, and as you may have read, just passed his boards. YAY! We (my son, his older sibling and I) are disappointed he won't be going to Oregon State. I was really looking forward to him being so close to home for 3 years. Oh well, this just means we get to explore a new part of the country.

    Tell me a bit about your son. Is he an ET, MM or EM? Has he been in Charleston, Ballston Spa or out in the fleet? Does he have his college stuff all nailed down yet?

    How about you? How do you feel about this Navy adventure? Tell me a bit about yourself.

    Take care and thanks for the offer of help! I may take you up on it.
