He recently became engaged an then was married , so Im not as in the loop so to speak as I always thought I would be when the day came for him to finally join up.

pamela said… - HEYY!!! :) I'm sooo happy to hear that your son is doing great and liking the NAVY! And he graduates soon! Daniels a month behind him!! We cannot wait to find out where we are getting stationed at! We find out in a few weeks! Has your sailor found out where he will be next? And how long will he be gone for at a time? Daniels hoping to get on a sub that leaves 3 months and comes back for 3 months as well...... but we never no... he might get the other one that leaves for months and months and when he comes back could stayy for a few days and have to leave again.... =/ I'm terrified that he might get that one!! I would be soo heart broken! =(

- Our son lives off base, but it is convenient for his wife at the College of Charleston, and pretty close to his base too.
What stage is your sailor in at Goose Creek?

Laura J said… - Good morning! Yes, Groton is in CT. Its for Submariners school. I can only figure whatever he was going to learn at GL 'A' school, he'll learn at Groton. Did see its an 11 hour drive from here...aargh. Chicago wasn't too bad, hubby drove to and from, I drove while we were there. Had to lose my courteous driving habits. LOL! BTW today's paper even said Dayton has courteous drivers..I guess they haven't seen me drive since we've come back!
Have you heard of the Fraze? It's where I work peddling beer, lol look me up if you happen to come there> take care!

- haha no problem! But i spoke to daniel and your son is doing a job a little different then his... Ryan is going to be getting a better pay!!! =] haha. but wow that poor boy has a loonnggg schoooling. i wish him the best and i'll pray for him to do good which i have no doubt that he will.... he had to score a really high score on the ASVAB to get his job! But anyway, i'm not sure if i'm COMPLETELY mentally prepared to do this big move =/ I'm nervous to raise my son COMPLETELY on my own .... i'm used to getting help every ONCE in a while.... But i think i'm ready... and me and daniel are doing the same ... renting a uhaul and everything..... my dad is going to drive me up there though... no way could i do it by myself with a one year old booyy! I would have went nuts! lol! But i'm really thinking this move is going to be a positive thing. Me and daniel have ALWAYS done good on our own so i'm praying that this is just another good thing in our relationship. =] I'm so excited as well... i've only been out of texas maybe 3 times in my life sooo im excited to sight see and what not!
