Melody--you still going to be at the Villas? We arrive there on the 24th. Think we have about 16 of our sailor's friends coming over to eat! He said he didn't care if they all had to sit on the floor "we're all guys!"
Come look for us.

Melody, I was sending Jeanne a note and saw your post. Does your son know that he can get an extra 5 days of leave if he agrees to work with his recruiter for those days? My son is doing this when he comes home from GC for Christmas. I think that all they have to do is contact their recruiter to make arrangements. Didn't mean to be nosy but wanted you to be aware of this little "perk". Pat
Thanks Kelly - I have not talked to Jeremy this week. Was going to give him a few days before bugging him. Sounds like he will be a week ahead of your son. Last week they saw their classrooms, met instructors, and got a school supply list. When I talked to him Sunday afternoon, he told me they had to get a certain calculator and had a worksheet to complete so that they would be able to use the calculator - could not be a graphing calculator like he used in high school/college as they store info and they are not allowed to have anything stored. He is the "activities director" for their class so has to know what is going on on base and around the community as far as community service, sports, etc. He has not said anything about breaks and Christmas. Keep in touch. Melody
Melody..you asked to take pictures of the choir at PIR this weekend 4/25...The choir was to the side of us and had thier backs to us this is only picture I could get and it isn't very good. sorry
Jane - He said that the 8 or 9 guys from his division had met with a nuke chief. Evidently the chief explained the three different jobs then had them sign up for a first and second choice. Jeremy said they would have liberty Friday, Saturday and Sunday, would spend Monday packing and getting things together, then leave for SC sometime Tuesday. Said the rest of the week would be orientation, then they would start class the next Monday, the 19th. Said he was "so ready to start school". They evidently also picked roommates. Is Corbin an Eagle Scout? That is about all he said, other than he would probably be calling Friday - I'm still waiting. Keep me posted. My number is 228-864-3118 pretty much after 4:00, cell - 228-697-7813. Keep me posted.
Welcome Melody:
We are so glad to have you! Thank you for joining us! When you have a chance, please check out the forums and groups. Let me know if you have any questions or comments about the website.
