Anti M is there a specific way or type of packing that you must use for smartmove?? I have furniture, and then my paper items and dishes are boxed up and my clothes are in black heavy duty bags

Cindy, once you go back one page, the address has a bunch of code in it. Find the place near the end where it says page=2#comments and change the 2 to the page number you want.

Cindy, I don't like the changes either. I checked the Blog yesterday and there was an explanation about the changes. They are asking for comments. I am such a "creature of habit" that I don't like any changes. I am certainly glad my son didn't inherit that trait from me. The Navy is all about changes.

Are you kidding? This is a crisis. It's going to be exciting!

Don't have to get everything in one shot. I only have one shot at the truck.

I went to ET A school in Glakes, not boot camp, I got to go through basic in Orlando when the Navy had a base there.

The grinder... I never saw much f it, we marched some, but not in winter and the PO who was supposed to take us didn't much like doing it and was always "busy". LOL, much stricter these days.

The grinder is a paved area used for drill practice.

Smoke, packing is the price you pay for a place to stay. I'd say have fun, but that's not right, is it?

AH! Underpants! He was at the housing office and they found a place to stick us. He can't associate with the neighbors, but no waiting list.

I'm really excited, but also cussing because I couldn't work up the motivation to pack before I knew if we were going to get housing or if I had to deal with a tiny apartment.

My husband said when he was in GL BC (1974) they did something called "midnight raid" where there sister company would come over around midnight (after taps) and rush in then push them off the racks and hit them with pillows and of course his barracks would then retaliate. Eventually they were caught by the CO and then both companies were made to march around the grinder (?) in skivvies and socks until daylight. He said the first part of was fun but not the second part. When he was there it was called the barracks (not by ships name). It saids GL has changed so much it hardly recognized anything.
