Trey, I am having the same issue, so it is not just you. I posted a comment on B'sNukeMom's page, but she doesn't always see things on the weekend or is only on her mobile device. I did just send a message through the Report an Issue option at the very bottom of the website page. I don't know if Ning.com needs to update something or what the issue is. It is frustrating.
Chipmunk (posting here as I am not sure if it actually sent my reply to your private message to me.
Thank you! I joined this group early as my son doesn't leave for boot camp until May 2026. Is it best to use this site on a PC? Still trying to navigate this app on my phone and the set up is a little confusing.
Hi thank you! I look forward to leaning more about how I can support my son in his new path as well as meet other parents going through the same situation. I'm very proud of him!
I'm sorry I couldn't find one which would let your sailor stay over. I can either cancel or swap to your name, either way is simple enough, just let me know.
I grabbed the one room, put it in my name, and I can change it to yours easily enough. I can change or cancel until the 4th of April without losing my points.
Hey, let me know the dates you need for san diego, and I will look at availability. It's spring break, so not sure what is avaialble. I can book right away but you'll have to trust me with your name, email, and phone. How many people? No promises, but I can try. I think there's a room tax for CA.
Trey - Thanks for posting on the BC Mom page. One of our new members accidentally posted a message as a reply to my comment to her on her profile page, instead of to the group. Sometimes people get mixed up on the group pages if they are posting on their mobile devices versus a computer.
For A school, it is most likely after they are done on the Friday before Christmas, and school will likely resume on Jan 2. It is always a good idea to have them back at least a day early, especially if flying into some place that might get shut down due to snow!!
Looking at the calendar though, Friday could be either the 16th or 23rd, so hard to know.
Thank you for the encouragement Trey about my son being ASMO'd. It is scary because you don't want them to get discouraged but motivated. All we can do is be supportive and hope it does give them a kick in the rear!
That was me commenting to you on Tommy's Facebook page. I use Katharine here ... it's my middle name and I like it better than my real name ..... Lisabette. My mother thought she was naming me the French version of Elizabeth ... I guess someone who calls the wine merlotte really is not great with French .... even though she was raised in Canada and took French in school for 12 years.

WorldMark Inn at the Park, studio "Sleeps two"
Mission Valley doesn't have the weekend there's one called Inn at the Park, it's a studio with one bed. These go fast.
I saw your dates, check out on the 17th or 18th? Check out is usually around 11 or 10 am.
The available resort is Worldmark Mission Valley if you want to look at it online.
Hey, let me know the dates you need for san diego, and I will look at availability. It's spring break, so not sure what is avaialble. I can book right away but you'll have to trust me with your name, email, and phone. How many people? No promises, but I can try. I think there's a room tax for CA.

Hello, I sent you a friend request. My son is at GL in A school. He will be stationed in SD as well.
I will private message you later, so I am sending you a friend request to accept. I also homeschooled, I will share some info with you.
For A school, it is most likely after they are done on the Friday before Christmas, and school will likely resume on Jan 2. It is always a good idea to have them back at least a day early, especially if flying into some place that might get shut down due to snow!!
