Thanks for sharing Kari! It is VERY cool!

I saw a retailer who was selling outdoor decorations that light up. Of course there were reindeer and Santas, but there was also a helicopter. The shape is definitely like a civilian one, but wouldn't that be a cool thing to have in the yard this Christmas?

Smart idea, Beth!

Not to muddy the water or get false hopes up.... There are N4M moms in Pensacola! I wonder if anyone would be willing to drive a sailor or two to the airport? If I weren't 6 hours away, I'd offer!

Yes, eventually, I booked on the phone directly with the airline. It is the only way to get a military ticket, and they honored the same cheapest price I had found online.

did you book directly through the airline? online or over the phone?

Okay, after hours and HOURS on the phone, here is the final skinny on Mobile vs. Pensacola: it costs more to get them in and out of Pensacola, but the only way to get them to Mobile is to either hire a car service ($120) or rent a car (about $200 plus they have to get to the P'cola airport to pick it up). Both American and Delta offer special Military tickets, which gets them the lowest fare available on flights, waives change and baggage fees BUT there are limited military seats on each flight. I just purchased tickets, after making reservations all over the place (they also let you hold military reservations for a week without paying for them), and it cost an arm and a leg, plus he had to give up a little bit of leave on both ends, but at least we know that we'll have him home for Christmas. Good luck, and I hope my research helps save someone else a few hours.

Oh, I meant to write "assigned". Sometimes my fingers are faster than my brains.

I know Greg was assigend to his squadron with "one other guy" (as he put it) but didn't mention any names. He and Shawn have been together through most of the training so it would have been nice to end up in the same squadron, but at least they're staying in SD for now.
Christi Comment by Christi on November 14, 2009 at 11:42pm
Kari, sorry I don't remember which squadon Derik is in? No
he didn't end up with Greg either. Apparently there are quite a
few squadrons.
Beth-Shawns PDS is San Diego but he will still get to see the world when
he gets deployed. Says that won't be for at least another 10 months.
Thanks for the info.
