Which is ridiculous! I was trying to plan a trip for March. Last night they were 270 round trip. This morning they were 340 :/
If Aaron wants me out there before April, he may have to pay for it himself. I would have to sit in front of that stupid pool for... 43 hours just to pay for the plane ticket!! :/

Just finished reading comments from the Power School group graduation today. And I sit here with tears in my eyes thinking our sailors will be next and how PROUD of them we are. AND we need ribbons to wear also so we can identify each other.

Aww. What kind of ribbons did they wear? Like ribbons from the La-La Ribbon Queen lady?
-
-

Not sure what they looked like, just read that the N4M were wearing them so they could find each other. I made ribbons for our PIR with section numbers. I'll change my profile picture to it.

Those look really great, my3sons! I wonder if your son's division was Aaron's "brother" division at some point.. He was division 917.
I vote we plan a small get together on Thursday night with whatever "Nuke Moms" will be down there. We could meet up at a restaurant or get together at one of the Villas... .Since we'll be the majority of the people who have them that weekend! haha

That would be fun. I can see all of our sailors standing there rolling their eyes at us. Let's see what we can plan. Maybe if we wear ribbons to the graduation we can recruit more moms for N4M!

Sounds like a plan to me. :) Aaron knows how much I love this site.. I always talk about you moms. :)
And more moms for N4M sounds like a GREAT plan!! This place is wonderful and I recommend it to everyone I meet! :)

did all the classes get theirs? Jacob never mentioned it but then again we both have been hit and miss today with texts.

Aaron got his. And another wife on the "Navy Wives of SC" group on Facebook said they got theirs (and it was the exact same dates.. Don't know what rate her hubby was or section).
I'm not believing a prototype start date until it happens. The wives are saying that even if they get a start date, it's usually being pushed back two to three weeks.
Why can't the Navy just say something and make it happen!? There's always so many rumors and I heard this and I heard that.

ugh I know what you mean!! I'm getting so frustrated about not being able to plan even a week in advance! And I'd understand if it was something big like when a ship actually goes out, but seriously, it's just school starting, it's just breaks, you know who's going to be there and who's not so you could have seriously planned this when they started power!
ok, i'm done lol
