I've been laid off for 7 weeks so I'm thinking next week they will call me and tell me that they are making it permanent. I would like to stay there for the insurance and benefits but otherwise it really does not break my heart. They've played around with me for too long. How are things for you? Continued good luck to Lee and I hope to hear from you soon.
How are you doing? Are you still able to hear from Lee very often? Chris has slowed down on his calls home, he is busy texting his girlfriend, or calling and emailing other friends so I only get a call every three or four days now.
How has your weather been? Our has been up and down all week. Last weekend was warm then we got snow early in the week but the ground was too warm for it to amount to very much, then it turned bitter cold with highs barely in the 30's and lows in the single digits and teens, then yeasterday back up to almost 60.
How long does Lee have to be at San Antonio? Maybe he can be away from there before mid summer when the hurricanes start rolling through. At least he has grown up in an area where he knows the kind of damage that can happen from them. I've never decided if it's better to be on the East Coast and deal with tornados and hurricanes or be on the West Coast and deal with huge wildfires and eathquakes. I think the odds are better on the East Coast, more hurricanes than earthquakes but you get more warning.
The weekend is here so we can take time to reflect on the week behind us the week ahead and take care of things at home. Our guys are on liberty or duty or studying so we don't have to worry about classes and tests today. Have a good day Melanie, God bless you and your sailor and his family.
I'm glad that Lee is doing so well. I can imagine that he appreciates the San An. weather! Chris was ready to get some place a little warmer also. I'm glad they are out of there before this week!
I'm not real sure what they do in Intelligence school. That's one of those top secret type things. He will have to pass all the requirements to have at least top secret security clearances. If the specific job or information that he is working on requires it, he may have to have one step above that. If he passes school, I will never know what he does, how he does his job or what he is working on. I can only pray that every once in a while I may be able to find out where he is and that he is ok.
It all fits in pretty well though with his desire to get a 4 year degree in English or History. Eventually, he wants to get his teaching degree and teach school. He wants to eventually become an officer. If that happens, he will make the Navy a career first, and teach after "retirement".
Maybe Lee will get lucky and after a short tour on ship come back to do the majority of his tour at P'cola or Key West or Charleston. Key West would be a long drive but a short flight. One mom that I talk to says that she and her husband travel to places that her son goes and says they never would have gotten out and traveled so extensively if he had not joined. She thinks it has been great for the whole family.
I'm happy that you are getting to talk to Lee more often. That seems to help a lot. I don't feel now that Chris may be doing without something that he needs. I also know that if I have a question about anything, I can text him and he can get back to me later, when he is off duty. I've told him that I will do my best not to call him since I don't know his schedule. I will leave it up to him to call me when he has time.
I'd better get off here and go check on a way to get his laptop to him. He wants to download some more music to his iPod and email some friends.
Take care and I'll get back with you soon. Have a wonderful day Navy Mom!

How are you? Have you heard from Lee yet? How is he doing? I bet he is happier in school. Chris is really excited to be in Virginia. We will see if he is just as excited next week when classes start. For this week he is doing odd jobs on the base and getting processed (again). Today he did medicals and got his pin number set up for the cafeteria. He and his bunkmate were going to the MWR for a while this evening. Unless he screws up he will be allowed to keep his cell phone so he is happy. He has asked for me to send his laptop and some CD's. He says he was told that in about three weeks he will be able to have his car. That really has him revved. What is Lee studying? Chris is going to go ahead and do his Intelligence but he has decided that he wants to take the foreign language school and learn Greek. Then he wants to go to Greece to become fluent in the language. Our guys are all "growed up". It was hard to say good bye again but now I know that he is happy and he will get taught rather than yelled at so it is going to get easier this time around. Have a good evening and let me know how things are for you and for Lee. :)
