My son Stephen is 6'5" and the last time I talked to him, he was still the tallest guy on his boat (USS Kentucky).
I'm from Arlington, living with an ex-BUBBLEHEAD(name given to those on sub duty when you get your dolphin pin). He served out of Groton, Conn. for many missions back in the late 70's. He can tell us some stories. Now, our son is a diver out of Ha...
my son will start sub school on april 20 th. He went from gl to groton, he's been there since bc graduation. He also is 6'1. I thought they may not take him. but passed everything. He seems very excited about it.
He just arrived from GL yesterday.
He went straight from Great Lakes which was in July 05 he came home for Christmas and then I drove out in March for the first time and then I also drove out in August. Once he was in school for a year his schedule was more flexible as far as visit...

You ought to check out the group PIR Jan 2, it is all the parents with kids graduating with Jimbo. I meet some wonderful freinds in Justins PIR group. They had a get together the night before graduation and we had a blast. I still keep in touch with them. Just thought i would share just in case you didnt know about it. I guess graduation is pretty soon. Have a wonderful time if yall are getting to go.

- Hi Brenda
It is a small world. I can picture your husband and I bet I know you if I see you. I use to attend the family focus class every now and then and I can remember Jim talking about your son. I am good friends with the Dingenthals (Carla and Dwight) our sons started playing soccer together in kindergarden.
Have you heard from Jimbo yet? I didn't hear one word, not even I made it from Justin until after 6 weeks. Bootcamp was tough. It has been great since he has been in school. I can talk to him anytime. He just got home for Christmas break, or his leave before he goes to the fleet.
Graduation is great, It is wonderful to see how much they changed (for the better)just small things.
Justin said C school is a harder version of A school. It depends what your job is.
Hope your family has a wonderful Christmas. If you have any questions let me know, we will get the answers from Juston while he is here.

Do you go to SUMC? What a really small world if you do. When does Jimbo graduate? What is he going in for? I cant wait to hear if you are the Gilmore from Stonebridge.

Lynn and Art for Cody (Div 059) said… - Warm!!!! Our son has requested his Dad wear a sport coat and slacks as opposed to shorts and a T. I am guessing he would like me in a suit or dressy dress. Lets see if we can round up some experience on this. L

- yes, Cody is in Great Lakes, I will have to borrow a coat to wear there because we just don't get that cold here, as you know. I am happy for your Jimbo, I hope he loves the subs.

- Hi Brenda
I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you.this is mt busy time of the year and I haven't got on navy for moms in awhile. I know what your going through I was on all the time (and I do mean all the time) when justin was in bootcamp. Its much better when they are in school you can talk to them anytime. Justin also graduated in 2007 but from MHS. So how is Jimbo have you heard from him? When is PIR for him? Just curious but what church do you go to? There is a Gilmore at our church and I know they have a son about the same age as mine. I'll have to call Justin and see if he knows your son. Look forward to talking to you.
