Yes I have attached one to every Priority Mail box I have sent. I just ordered a 10pk of the boxes and forms so I can get everything ready at home before I go to the post office.
Katie is a DC on the USS Essex - so it is about a 20 hr Flight from Sasebo Japan home to Michigan
Brandy - How far will he be from 'home' now? What is his rate?
Last week my Women's Bible Study group mailed 2 boxes of treats to Katie and the sailors in her 'shop'. They sent cookies and 'puppy chow' and I sent along one of her favories - homemade peppermint patties. Katie had also asked for hand sanitizer ...
Katie asks for DVDs and CDs. She keeps the DVDs in a case and then mails home the DVD covers from time to time. Katie downloads the CDs onto her computer and into her MP3 players and then mails them home as well. I send homebaked items from time t...
TIna-sorry to hear about James' grandma too. Pray for peace of heart and assurance of the resurrection.
I'm pretty sure the Navy makes concessions for only immediate family - like Mom, Dad, spouse, brothers, sisters.
My nephew/godson Jonathan is an officer at Ft Hood. He has already done a tour of duty overseas.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME ~ Words & Music by Scott Krippayne & Steve Siler
The race is long, sometimes I stumble ~ He helps me up each time I fall
When I lose hope He gives me courage ~ So I'll press on and give my all
'cause I know I never have to run alone ~ and I can hardly wait to make it home
The best is yet to come ~ The promise of heaven awaits
I'll finally see my Lord and Savior face to face ~ For He has set me free
For all eternity ~ When my life on earth is done ~ The best is yet to come
In every joy ~ In every trial ~ I need to keep my eyes on Him ~He is the way ~ My sole provider
No matter how the road may bend ~ When earthly treasures cloud my point of view
He reminds me that I'm only passing through
The best is yet to come ~ The promise of heaven awaits
I'll finally see my Lord and Savior face to face ~ For He has set me free
For all eternity ~ When my life on earth is done ~ The best is yet to come
Nothing can compare with what's in store
When we join with the angels singing ~ Holy is the Lord

kathy16 said… - Marianne. thanks for the info. I will add to my list of sights to check out. Someone said that they traveled on Singapore Airlines and only paid around $500 but they also left from LA, so I am sure it depends on where you are leaving from. I would have to go from either Indy or Chicago, so I am sure that that adds to the price! It is supposed to be another great day (weather wise) in NW Indiana! kathy

- I asked Erik about the Navy Ball and he said they were told while they were out at sea that it was $50.00 and then by the time they got back to port the tickets had went up to $80.00. He said if he had a girl friend he would probably go, but I guess he isn't. Hope your daughter has a good time.

- Hi Marianne - Thanks for sending me a message. The pictures of your kids when they were little are adorable. How is your daughter doing? Does she like the Navy? Apparently I said something I shouldn't have on Michigan Moms according to Uli, but on the Officer Site and OCS Site, we speak of our sons or daughters ships and where they are sationed. I hardly ever write anything so it was a real slap. I've been married to my husband for 29 years and our son Erik who is the officer (graduated OCS May 09) is 28. After graduating from college and working at a dead end job he decided to apply to OCS and got accepted. When he calls home he is always so excited, so even though I miss him that makes me feel good. Write back and let me know about your daughter. Does she like Japan. A guy who graduated OCS with my son is stationed there also.

DJ...JetJockeyMom said… - Hi there and welcome to Navy for Mom's. Are your children beautiful or what? Is that old picture of your mom and dad? My dad was in the Navy also. My son went to Milford High. Many of his friends went to Lutheran High Westland though. He graduated in 2003. He is just about ready to receive his Naval Aviator Wings, sometime in November at NAS Kingsville TX. I can't wait!! Congrats on your daughter! You must be so proud of her =)
