Laurie Proud Mom of Josh's Page

Hi Laurie. Finally a new e-mail: "I watched the
video she sent it was pretty cool. Couple of pictures of sulli in there
which made him happy. Tell him mom
that he will call when he gets a chance and that he cant quite use a
computer right now but he's doing fine. He's
actually a nice really funny kid. He
makes me laugh more then anyone here just from some of the sh.. he says."
Of course he was talkng about DN's DVD....and I did edit his language! Othe than that a helo made a really cool lading....Al was kickig himself becaue he didn't take pictures.

Will do, Laurie. I'll give the message to Al this morning. Glad it was your "Sulli" :-) I don't know last names so I guessed. Yes, they work together. ABE V/2 Same workstation. Actually, I think that Josh's rack is right under Al's rack. Everything seems to be just fine. Very busy, but not so busy that they don't have time to tease each other (Josh put chips in Al's mouth when he feel asleep in the workstation ;-)

Hi Laurie. Don't know if this belongs to you. If not...who is Sulli's mom? Got this in an e-mail from my son: "Sulli wants me to tell you to tell his mom that he loves her!"

Hi,Laurie. Sorry I haven't responded sooner. I hope your son is OK. Mine seemed to be doing better, but just last week we received another email about how unhappy he is. I am worried as he is telling us he wants to go to Iraq or Afghanistan and is joining the IA program. Not much I can do, but we worry every day. I wish I could do more to support him from afar. What does your son do onboard?

Hi Laurie, I'll work with you and Diane on V-2 also. Next time Megan calls I'll ask her to talk to her Chief to see if we can get a count of V-2.

Hi Laurie! I am doing great. How are you? Rusty is doing well. He going through C school and a couple of other schools. He should finish up by March. I went out to SD to see him back in July. He is coming Oct 9th through the 12th. I am very excited to see him. He bought a motorcycle...hmmm.. He hada good friend tragically killed a few weeks ago. They were out at dinner. They dropped Rusty off and as they were headed to a movie their car was hit and one of the Sailors was killed. Rusty was sitting in that very seat before he was dropped off. I am so sorry for the family that is grieving the loss but thankful Rusty had gotten out of the car. It was a terrible time for him. How is Josh? Trying to catch up with what is going on. I just havent had the time to get on lately. Try to do better in the future!

thanks laurie, but how did josh get to call & email? They work together, right? Hope he's ok...

I think he just made time to email us because he knew we were worried about that package. He said doesn't have time for anything. So they are very busy. that was first email since they left port and only 3 sentences. So i would'nt worry too much. I know that's hard to do.

thank you laurie, He called the last night they were there and don't think we will hear from him again until they get to port. He said their job is such long hours. He can't wait to do the cranking part. He said they don't get a chance to do anything but work & catch some sleep. Hows Josh doing?
