That's exciting that you are getting to go down and see the graduation, it's nothing like boot camp graduation because there wasn't many people who came to see it. But I thought it was more personal. After my husband is done in Pendleton our duty station is Maryland. We were others hoping to get to stay in Pendleton or at least somewhere with good weather but as much as we've been apart I'll take what I can get! Are you guys still going to be at Pendleton after your husband finishes FMF?

oh, yeah it's like.. 9 months? It's a long one.. but you still have plenty of time till Feb to spend with your husband =)
my bf is assigned to a ship USNS Mercy, and it deployes on May 1sh for Pacific Partnerchip 2010.. And will return in September.. but i hope that my bf won't ship out with it, he is in A-school till June and then will come home for 2 weeks.. but who knows, they can still fly him there..
no, we are not married, and i don't know if i will move down with him.. he wants to though.. but we've been together for less than 6 months, 4.5 of which were BC and Aschool.. so .. we'll see =)

he is going back to cali!! He will be stationed in SDas well, and i'm so happy, coz it's only 1.5 hours from me!! Much closer than IL lol
Well, i'm trying not to think about it but .. i still do lol i'm just getting busy with my classes (i go to college), and that's about it.. killing time with friends... he left for BC in Dec 15th, and he will be done with school in the mid of June... so we're almost there!!

Hello! My oldest son was undesignated for 2 years. At first he was freaked thinking he'd be treated very poorly. He wasn't. He was assigned to the Enterprise those 2 years and he worked most of the time in the boatswains mate dept. And EVERYONE chips paint on the ships.....not just undesignated so don't let the horror stories upset you guys. My son was very happy during that time. After 2 years, he was able to chose another rate and just started corpsman school this week. So tell hubby to hang in there. He's getting a paycheck, good benefits, housing and will get another opportunity to chose another rate.
