I don't think these guys realize how hard we're gonna tackle them with hugs :) I don't know how Mya is gonna be able to let go of her brother once she gets a hold of him. And of course we got Nicholas on our sign! He's Navy family!
to set up a google alert, go to google and type in USS Carl Vinson and hit "news" at the top. once it brings up news articles scroll down to the bottom and it'll say "create and email alert for uss carl vinson". just follow the directions it gives.
Oh thank you! :) Did some wait in the waiting area and then got to sit w/you, or did they have to sit separately? We'll be ok, except for my dad, he doesn't have a "pass".. thanks! :)
She found out just a couple days later. You would have received a letter in the mail regarding the special seating at PIR if your recruit had received the award. All the same, congrats to him for being nominated! It's definitely an honor, lots of young peoples graduating this week!
I didn't even see that you left me a comment on my page until just now! But to answer your questions, yes, I am in DEP right now and I got a letter yesterday (02Feb. But I already told you that :) ).
He is IT. Currently in A school at Corry Station. He has been there since Dec27th,however things didn't get rolling again until Jan2nd. My understanding is there will be 19 weeks of A school, followed by 19 weeks of C school. So, he will be there for awhile !! Thanks for the friend add !! ~Donna~
Hi "Niko's Mom," and welcome to Indiana Moms! I'm the administrator for the group, so if you have any questions, please ask. My son is a Nuke MM serving on the submarine ALABAMA, based out of Bangor, WA. He's been in for 4 years.
If you're ever near Indy, there's a monthly informal dinner on the west side of town, in Avon. You can find any month's dinner details by clicking on the 3rd Monday of the Event calendar (right-hand column). We'd love you to join us - and you're welcome to bring family or friends! From time to time, we also have regional gatherings in various parts of the state.
The "decorating" on my page was done by picking a theme page, then customizing it in the HTML code (I'm a computer geek). It's not difficult, if you know the codes for various colors... but might be hard to explain here. Let me know if you'd like some help. Hugs! k.
You will find this site very helpful and full of members who are eager to answer your questions. Browse around the site and check out the forums, groups, blogs, photos, videos, and even the other member profiles!
