Hi Julie, Congratulations on your new sailor. Are you planning on visiting your son in Texas? I went to see Greg two times and it was really nice to spend time with him. You son is going to really like it there, with the exception of the heat, Greg hated the heat and is glad to be done. There will be lots of tests and it's hard work but your son will do just fine. The time goes really fast and he will be off to his first duty station. Usually around week 5 or 6 they find out where they will be stationed.

Hi Everyone - My son just arrived in SA on 7/24. We are now onto the next leg of his journey. Any information that you ladies can pass along would be great. He said he starts on Aug. 3rd and he is really looking forward to MAA School.

Karen, congrats on your MA. My son is stationed at Whidbey Island, too. He is attached to a squadron. They are out right now. I went to visit him there before he deployed. It's beautiful there. Coming from the Midwest, it was really different. It has clean air with the ocean and mountains. I'm thinking of retiring there (in about 20 years!). Do go visit there. It's awesome.

you better start hugging away then...and store them somewhere in case you need one when he is gone...i got to see Jason 2-3 weeks ago when we met in in Ga to pick up my grandpuppy from him...and i got some hugs and now when i need a jason hug i got his baby girl Lexi to hug only she gives a ton of wet kisses and sometimes cant stop...oh yeah and i got her housebroken for him one less thing for him to worry about

Than ks so much Cindy!!!!! Well it is official, we have new MAA's in the house.....hooooooraaaaaaay!!!!!!! Bahrain here we come, well in a couple of weeks. But for now, we will enjoy our Sailor and share his well deserved R&R ! So happy beyond words to have him home and to finally get to wrap my arms around him, just did NOT want to let go......bet that is how all of you feel too when you get to see your Sailor.
God bless them all :D Cindy, it's so funny you mentioned shot glasses because my hubby collects them too !!! And I hear that you can buy some very nice pieces of jewlery ...gold, pearls, and stones from there at some very nice prices ???????? I guess I need to put in my requests while he is there !!!!
We bought the Blackberry that Sprint told us works with the International Sims cards, so three of my sons will all have them, looking forward to still being able to communicate with him a few times a week and to Skype when we can :D Thanks for all of you help, have a great weekend :D
