My son wants SD too! I would love that since I have never seen the Pacific Ocean and that would give me a good reason to go West...from here in Denver that is.

I went to visit my son in SC in June. We spent a day at "Short Stay" which is a retreat like place for military personnel only. We rented a pontoon boat and spent the day cruising around Lake Moultrie. He had to take a test at the rental office that took about 2 hours to get the military boat operating liscense first. It was really a great day spent with just me and my sailor son!

Thanks Lions Mom, I just looked up short stay at Lake Moultrie, it looks beautiful! Trying to decide if I have the courage to ask my son to take another test! LOL.

He will be glad if he does. I actually sent my son our family tent and he has been going up there on days off to camp. Even if you don't visit there this weekend, it is a great retreat for him to decompress. Nuke School is stressful. I envy your trip! I miss my son so much!

Thats a great point, I will be sure to tell him about it this weekend, i've been told that he has a few friends meeting us on Saturday at Folly Beach, Im in the process of packing now, 14 hrs and I will be on the plane...

not been on here for a while, but glad all seem to be doing well. I talk to DM on the cell and fb message a lot, so I am much happier than when he was at bootcamp. He has reached the point of being allowed to have his car down there and is chomping at the bit for someone to drive his car to him in GC. This is an old car and the air conditioning is broken, so we have him holding off til it is fixed. Hope to get it to him soon :) Was funny Sat night he couldn't get anyone to pic up the phone at home cause the receiver got knocked off the phone and it went right to voicemail and none of us had our cell phones on...DM got "Worried" about us and called a friend to drive to our house to check on us. That is a role reversal :) haha

Hi goliathmacdog! next time u talk to DM, can u verify grad. date is 10/29...?
I'm still lol about him sending a friend over...that's awesome! Glad everything seems to
be going okay for him...hoping RD can "endure to the end"..what a tough program, and so
many things can go wrong...but I''m cautiously optomistic, as always.
