Hey everyone! 

 

   I just got the letter from RTC with Ashley's address and grad date (May 06,2011) Does anyone else have a future sailor on the same ship and division?

925 gang at Meet and Greet
The 925 gang! :)

I'm going to try this again...for some reason, I've sent 4 messages and they haven't gone through!  I missed the meet and greet but made it to the graduation!  How come no one ever mentioned the sardine-like seating in the stands??  No matter, it was an amazing experience. So glad we went.  925 rocked!!! Does anyone have their sailor staying over at GL? Where is everyone headed? Would love to know.  Great picture you guys!! Thanks to aveomare's pictures, I was able to recognize her and see her BEAUTIFUL baby boy!!! In that brief moment, I thought you were such a great person!  Hope all goes well!

Hey DL,

My daughter is in San Antonio, TX @ the Lackland AFB for her A school  (MA). Her graduation date is approx 6/24/11. Her bunk mate from bc is there also, As a matter of fact they are roomies again. They get along really well. She says its really hot down there. Cant wait for her to come home after A school. She will be home for approx 10-14 days. Cant wait to hear from everyone!!

Hey DL.. missed meeting you!
My daughter is in Virginia Beach, VA she will be done with A school in Aug. and then she has C school.. not sure how long that will be.. maybe we'll see her late Sept/Oct.?  I am going down to VA at some point tho.
My hubby is still in IL, but they are moving him to VA next week sometime.  Then in a month he'll be in CT =)

JC, I'm glad she got a roomie she got along with! Mom2, I wish my sailor was in VA, it would sure be a lot closer to home. I was so sad when I left my sailor, 'cause I wasn't sure if we would see him for the holidays. He mentioned November as his end date for A school and then C school, don't know where. If they have 10 to 14 days between schools, maybe we can have Thanksgiving! I better get used to being in limbo. Aveo, I know my sailor will miss your sailor. They seemed to have gotten along really well. Thanks for responding ladies, I miss 'talking' with everyone.

 

Hello Ladies! 

I'm just now getting caught up enough to get on here and say hello! Graduation was AMAZING! Although I have to admit that I too felt like a sardine! LOL. I had the honor of sitting in the row right in front of Jenn and her family! Jenn, your husband is a doll! I never got to say goodby to any of you but please, tell him I enjoyed talking to him very much and your little boy was just snoring away through the second half of the ceremony, I wanted to slide him over and lay down with him at that point! I was SOOO tired after being up since 3AM!  He had the right idea!! Your children were all so well behaved. It was a pleasure sitting with all of you. I wish we had more time to talk (Like about what I do with 9000 strawberries Ive got growing and can't preserve fast enough LOL) Anyway, you have a wonderful family! 

 

I'm so sorry I didn't get to meet the rest of you there. We got in so late and only had 2 hours to sleep and start all over again and the next day at the airport was all rush again. Try as I might, I couldn't get pics of Michael for Deb :( I felt so bad. But I did scan the division picture to put up here for all of us 925'ers!  I have a yellow arrow above my Ashley... GOTTA LOVE THOSE BCG's!! Here is the video I made for her. 

 

 

And here is the video I made for graduation 

TNWife, bummer...my area has blocked the video! :(

Nice pic of the div.. and loved the video shel!  thanks so much for your sweet comments on my family... it was a long weekend.. 15 hours on a train, up early... 2 1/2 hours waiting on the bleachers... 15 hours back on the train.. they did great.. but I have to say by Sunday I was ready for all of us to go to our separate rooms and chill!  LOL 

I hope everyone's sailor is doing great at A school!!  :)
Jenn

Wow I hve tried to make contact on another N4M for A school in Texas & the people dont hardly communicate & get on like we did when our sailors were in bc. Kinda disappointed!  :-(
