Any idea when they will be off for Christmas? I would like to book a flight before they become prohibitively expensive (if I am not already too late!)
Thanks!
You and he won't know until sometime on the day he checks in, and he probably won't know until later in the day, when he's talked to the right people. He would have to take leave for sure; the day after Thanksgiving is not a federal holiday. Norma...

suzi said… - Sorry for taking so long My job keeps me pretty busy My sailor is a teacher of Proto type and has decided to ask to be put on a submarine. I do not know how much I can tell on here but I know he is closed mouth about what he does. If I could get some instruction as to how and what is allowed that would help me in conveying what is within bounds .

We're so happy and excited; it's bittersweet since this is the longest that he'll be away, but it's for a good reason. He should be leaving for OCS in early 2010. Carole

carols_kitchen said… - Can you believe how the Nuke Mom page has grown? I went to a meet and greet a couple of weeks ago up in Bloomington, IL. One of the recruiters had not heard of the page, and was amazed at how well we all knew each other. He was going to tell his mother about this site after talking with us wild parents.
I went and visited my sailor's recruiter today with a Halloween package. He was in his full dress blues with ribbons, as he had just returned from re-enlisting. Year 15 for him now. I am waiting for the day when it will be the same for our sailor.
Take care and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

- Hi Karen, Just wanted to add a comment about the candy to the troops, while it is a great idea, lots of unwrapped, loose candy gets shipped, some have even rec'd candy with a bite taken out it. Mabye the group that is in charge is watching? Would you give your kids opened candy from a complete stranger? I am also on another site that supports the troops and they say its a nitemare when the troops get leftover candy. No way to know if it was tampered with so they have to trash it all. Just passing it along to you.

- Hi Karen........thank you for your message way back when. I've looked on the site only a couple of times.........I seem to spend any free moment sending my son letters and jokes and newspaper articles other than get online. I work, take care of my 14 year old daughter and well, that about sums me up. I am so excited to see him graduate on Nov 6th from bootcamp. He has asked me in a recent letter to get onto this site and try to meet his new friends' moms. So, here I am. I have no idea how to do this. Could you give me some advice. Thank you again. I can't wait to see my son again. I'm super proud of him.
