Leslie, I know you have enjoyed having the boys at home. I have a son, Stephen, stationed in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. His wife is there also. He is deploying for six months on Monday to Japan. He is the NFO for P-3s. They are celebrating today with th...
I had to get used to the "hurry up and wait" idea.
I'm thinking this sounds like a wonderful Christmas gift, too. I still have not ordered his Navy sword. Since he has been moving around quite a bit this past year, I planned to wait until he was situated for awhile. Then it's a problem with gettin...
Your excitement with "HI MOMS" takes me back. It has been two years since I made that trip to RI. Seems impossible in some ways, but I remember the excitement and relief that a step of his journey was finished. Enjoy every minute. You all deserve ...
Be thankful for every safe day. Keep us posted. I'm keeping all of them in my prayers.
I'm impressed, too, with Leslie's memory. My son is a P-3 NFO. I know there are some other P-3 NFOs too. Remind me.
Therese, even though I know that my sons are both where I REALLY want them to be, self-sufficient, independent, etc. I miss seeing them and talking to them more often. I stayed with Stephen while he was in Pensacola in training for two weeks. It d...

- Hi Sandy, I will be shouting it all over Naval Aviation if and when he gets P3s. He selects on Tues and should know a day or two after that. So by the end of this week. Thanks . Did your son go to Jacksonville for the RAG and then to Hawaii? Wow, Japan. What's going on in Japan that we need to be there?

There is some new housing on base at Kaneohe.
Ben and Colleen just moved into a new house--4 bedrooms and 3 baths. They love it; the only thing they miss is the fenced badk yard they did have for the dogs.

- Hi, Sandy. I was reading that your son is headed to Hawaii. Mine is currently still at JAX, but he did request Hawaii as his first choice for duty station. Not to say he will get it, but I am already feeling your pain.
Good luck!

- Sandy,
My son Ben is an 06 grad from the Naval Academy and currently an LTJG. He is an NFO on P-3's and is part of Patron Squadron 4"Skinny Dragons." He and his wife live on base at Kaneohe. They are very, very pleased living there. We visited HI and stayed with them for 10 days last Oct. before Ben's deployment to Iraq. We had a marvelous time, and we thought the base just great. We were so impressed with the sense of community among the families there, and, indeed, while Ben was gone, friends/neighbors were very supportive to our daughter-in-law Colleen. Ben got back 31 May and is VERY happy to be out of Iraq. They will be in Kaneohe another 2 years (they have been there about a year). Ben will probably have another deployment before that time is up. They moved from NAS JAX, and the movers did a great job of moving their belongings, but Ben and Colleen arrived before their stuff did, but no worries, the base has furniture etc. to borrow. There is a beach on base that we could get to from Ben's house by walking to the side of the golf course. There is a nice exchange/ commissary, but if they want to shop at the bigger stores at Pearl, they have to go into Honolulu, which is not too bad at all. Of course, there are LOTS of fun places to go. We liked the North Shore a lot. But if we didn't get to do anything but stay on base and hang out nearby, Lanaki (sp?) beach is one of the most beautiful I've seen! Best wishes.

- Sandi,, i totally understand that you were too busy to fit anything else into your schedule. Glad you had a good time and that your son has achieved a major accomplishment. Did you say "re-engaged"? Congrats to them. Please tell us all about the ceremony. Yes, Conor still wants to fly P3s. I love the idea of a large crew, 11 guys and gals supporting each other instead of flying alone in a jet. I'm sure it is all good, though. Congratulations!!!!
