There are several discussions regarding transport of vehicles. I arranged for the transport of a vehicle for my son to and from CT. Its not inexpensive, but definitely less than the purchase of a second vehicle.
Hey all!! Just checking in to see if your QM sailors had gotten their orders yet. My son just got his and will be heading to Mayport Fla. no later than the 25th of Sept. He should be getting leave soon to come visit us first!! Have a great day!!
Hello!! My son is getting ready to join the fleet on the USS Taylor. He has to report there by Sept 25th, 2009. Can you give me any information on how this all works?
Thanks!!!!
Letha
Hey all, sounds like a lot sailors are going home for the 4th. This is great and I hope you all have a great time with them. I think we will be picking our son up also. We will see if his chit gets approved. So, we wait.
Take care!!
I remember how neat it was when jeff graduated from bootcamp
to watch the flag carriers.
but it was hard on them and a big responsiblity because all the sailors
watch the person with the flag !
I went to boot camp way back when Orlando, when divisions were "companies". I designed our company flag, I got to carry it. There is more than one flag! Anyway, we practiced gliding up silently behind the newbie companies who were standing in the ...
my husband was a flag carrier and he is on the short side so I do think that is one of the reasons. he did say that it was his hardest thing in bootcamp to be "kept" on carrying his flag. he had to work VERY hard at it and the only reason he did i...
i know in my division, they picked the shortest people in the division...this is so that the front of the division doesnt "run away" from the rest of the body.......it allows us to stay dressed off easier, and move at a steady pace
Hey all, Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there!!
We have been on vacation all week and back to work for us on Monday. We drove up to visit Nick last weekend and then he surprised us and came home on Friday night and left today. It was a nic...
Reva, Yep we were there visiting with Nick. He had the whole weekend off and so he stayed with us in the hotel. He surprised us this past Friday night and came home for a visit. He left this morning. That was great!! It is a small world. LOL

Hey Letha, How does your son like Mayport? Bryce LOVES it!!! Do you know that the Taylor has been tied up to Bryce's ship, the Roberts, there at port? When he told me that, I immediately thought of you! Hope all is well. :))
Hi! I just saw your post in the QM group. Our son is on the Samuel B Roberts. I figured it was too good to be true that our boys would be on the same ship. I wonder if they know each other, though?
Hi Letha
Jonathan is still with us. He's leaving on the 4th of July and has to report at his duty station on the 5th. He's very excited, today he talked to his sponser in Point Magu' CA . He's going to be fine! Email me at my xxxxxxxxlive.com. Have a beautiful 4th with Nick and your family........xxxooo

Got a call a litte while ago from Jonathan and he sounded great. He got his orders and it's not Sea duty shooooooooooo......I'm glad. For now!!! Take care.
Hi Letha! He actually phased up to phase 2 right before Memorial Day so we went in and got him for the weekend. It was wonderful having him home for a couple of days. Hoping to go in and spend the weekend in there for the 4th of July. I hope you get to go visit this weekend! Have a great night.
OMG! That's funny. Small world. Matt was really happy with the move over to the Decatur. It's a newer ship than the Franklin. Have a great day! Looks like we are going to have some good weather finally! Dawn
I did have a good weekend, even tho Kyle spent most of his leave time with his friends. But that is ok, he needed that . I drove him back to GL last evening, ate a late supper with him and then dropped him off at the base at 11pm IL time. He did not need to be back until 11:59pm. I then drove back home and pulled in my drive at 5am. It's a 4 1/2 hr trip one-way if the traffic is good. Since I had to work today you could say I am one very tired mom. But I will do it again in a heart beat if he gets another opportunity. :-) One of his best friends just graduated from Marine boot camp last Friday and he was home as well. They both got to march together in their full uniforms in our local Memorial Day Parade. That was pretty awesome. A few tears rolled :-)
