Thank you so much for posting those pictures from Graduation. You actually have a great picture of my husband holding the Iowa state flag. I cannot tell you how excited I am to have this to show our family! We were sitting on the wrong side and couldn't see him. You rock! Congratulations to your Sailor and may you have fair winds and following seas.

Hi MaryLou,
I was readng on one of the posts that your Ryan and (Ryansmom0629)'s Ryan have the same last name, too. Was the right? Or did I misunderstand? I ask because Chon said that he and (Ryan with last name with P_ _ _ _ ) were friends, but when I said he's from NY, son seemed confused. Now, if your Ryan has the same last name, maybe it's your Ryan he is friends with. Just wanting clarity... Anyway, in less than one week.....PIR....and we'll all meet. (Yippee!!!) Tammy Song

Hello Mary Lou, I wanted to know if we could get together sometime this week again. Today was by far one of the worst days since he has been gone, and I found it very comforting the last time I talked to you. :)

Mary Lou, I was just reading on the SK group. You might have mistunderstood Lynda (my buddy, her son & my daughter are both stationed in Hawaii) about being assigned to a ship. They usually get assigned to a ship for 3 years but they aren't deployed for 3 yrs. They usually go out 6 to 7 months at a time. My son has been on the USS Nimitz for 14 months & he's getting ready to go out for his first deployment:) Pat

I read on another post about your job. Are you a social worker? I am getting my MSW and plan to work in Child Welfare.

Again thank you so much!

Hi, my daughter Stephanie has been on the McCampbell since June and loves every minute of it. The biggest hurdle is the money issue. Her sponsor told her to have about $9000 available for housing - she now lives in a house off base. She needed 1st...

Be sure he takes both yen and American dollars. It is always good to have yen just in case. On base you can use American dollars.
