I'm sorry I meant 09.
last deployment was, I believe, returned in July of 08. They are scheduled for a long deployment in the beginning of 10. Not looking forward to that. When my husband was in 25 years ago he did two 7+ months, one on which our oldest was born.
Melissa, our daughter ship is now in dry dock in Portsmouth, they just did the unloading of ammo last week, maybe the week before, and headed to Portmouth last week late, I believe. Days to into weeks and weeks into months at this point.....LOL I ...

My son is an AO on a squad. He is attached to the USS Enterprise. What is your daughters rate? Is she on a ship?

- Hi
I saw where you are near Farmington. I am in Sikeston. How long has your daughter been in? My son is in Oceana VA. He has been there since Nov. Great to see another Navy Mom so close!

Glad to know a friend is close by. I know where DeSoto is, I actually lived in Pevely for 10 years. Encouraging that Danielle likes the Navy. I believe Brittany will also, it's all just soooo new for all of us. Thanks for the words of uplift and hope. Stay in touch,
Karen / "Ducky"

Tam, Jenny's mom said… - Well, Patty it is a small world. That's our Sara. I asked if she knew you & she knew who i was talking about. She came home sick today,but is felling better.
I have had mixed feelings about Japan also, although I haven't mentioned that to her. One of the reasons for joining the navy was to travel & that would be traveling. But, if she were to go to Japan, I would try to get my sister-in-law, Naomi, to go with me. Her mother is from Japan & Naomi has been there to visit relatives. Jenny's dad does not like to fly. He says when they finish the bridge he'll go.lol We'll cross that bridge (no pun intended) if she goes.
So, did Danielle go to school in San Deigo? Jenny said if she goes to C school, she might go to either San Deigo or Norfolk. We have been as far as Duck, NC & when Jenny was a baby we visited relatives in Long Beach, Ca. Never been to San Deigo. I just hope where ever she goes she likes it there.
When Danielle ships out, do you get to communicate much & by email or phone or both? What is the longest she has been out at one time? Have a good week end & keep in touch. Tammy

Virginia = Sam's Mom said… - HI Patty,
I actually had to pour salt on the drive way so I could get my Durango up the drive way and in the garage on Tuesday when I got home. I bought it while we lived in TX so I didn't need a 4 wheel drive then.
I stayed in for the last two days but had to go out today and show houses. Someone called me yesterday to show one but I said "no I was staying in".
I haven't gotten an email from Sam lately, the last one she said she was going to request to be moved. We will see how that works out. She is going to be put on a different ship when this one comes in so she just has to hang in there a little while longer.

- Patty----This weather has kept me in, so I'm into painting (rooms) & cleaning closets. Get to watch the grandkids tomorrow. Jenny is going to AT school (aviation electronics tech). She loves the math, but the rest is challenging her. She should finish her classes in April. How long will Danielle be gone? Does she get to tell where she is going? Jenny has mentioned putting in to go to Japan. We will just have to wait & see.....they don't always get what they want.....Jenny calls it 'voluntold'....your're told what to volunteer for. lol We're going to try to go see her in April....told her to let us know when spring break is over.......Tammy

- Patty-----Talked to Annie, she remembered Danielle. Had some classes with her. Thought she was really nice and always helpful with other students. Yes, Jenny was a life guard at Park Hills pool. The recruiter often worked out with Jenny. Danielle's job sounds interesting. Jenny would like to serve on a carrier, but what ever she does I know it will be exciting for her. Talk to her just about every day. She and her dad have good conversations (he served in the army). It's fun to listen to their boot camp experiences. Tammy

- Hi Patty,
I am sitting here with the fire going. Man is it cold outside. I guess now we just see how much ice this front brings. We were out of our home for a week a couple of years ago.
Hopefully Sam will be back sometime this Spring. Of course we don't have exact dates to be able to plan anything just somewhere around. We have heard rumers that they may be extended in the area for two months longer so not sure when they will be in.
I am hoping to attend the homecoming. My son will be going on the Tiger Cruise as well. Very exciting time.
Try to stay warm.
Virginia

- Hi Patty----Sounds like we're from the same area. Yes, Jenny did go to NC. She graduated in 04, her sister, Annie, graduated in 06. They both played softball for NC & Jenny played basketball. Jenny joined the navy in July, 08 & is going to A school in Pensacola. If she goes on to C school, she may end up in Norfolk. Hopfully she'll know in April. If you have ever been to the Cowgirl Cafe in Bismarck, Mo, Jenny worked there as a waitress. I would say for the most part the navy has been good for her & will be good for her. She still gets a little home sick now & then. She had tried college, but just didn't like it ( too easy to skip class). She does well with structure & what better place can a person be but in some branch of the service for structure. Please let me know more about your daughter. Next time Annie is by here I'll have her look at your pics & see if she recognizes your daughter, since they graduated the same year. Keep in touch. Tammy
