David's Dad I am so glad you got to hear from your son!
Question, does anyone know what cable provider they use at A school GL? My son is hoping to see his Ravens play today and I wanted to check the listings for him.
As far as Rockslice knows, the grinder isn't used/there anymore. The latest troublemakers got marched around base. Literally around.
So now he tells me that he hates moving. Oh well, most of it's on me now that he's beaten down the paperwork.
Whoa, I looked it up... you DO pack yourself. Yikes. I guess the best thing to do is read the packing tips on their site. This is very strange to me.
We still have all our boxes from our last PCS move flattened and stored in our garage attic. We ...
Tiffany, smartmove is new to me, so I don't have answers, sorry! We used to call PPO, they'd send someone out to see how much stuff we had, then they would come and pack it all up. It was very important for them to pack it and not us, for insuranc...
Anti M is there a specific way or type of packing that you must use for smartmove?? I have furniture, and then my paper items and dishes are boxed up and my clothes are in black heavy duty bags
Cindy, once you go back one page, the address has a bunch of code in it. Find the place near the end where it says page=2#comments and change the 2 to the page number you want.
Cindy, I don't like the changes either. I checked the Blog yesterday and there was an explanation about the changes. They are asking for comments. I am such a "creature of habit" that I don't like any changes. I am certainly glad my son didn't inh...
Are you kidding? This is a crisis. It's going to be exciting!
Don't have to get everything in one shot. I only have one shot at the truck.
Anti M,
Waiting for Aaron to answer me on this..
Im a little frustrated with the changes at the bottom to get from page to page....I can only click on next and last....I cant go back a page or two to catch up...its been like this a little while now...I can not click on previous or first.....help...
I went to ET A school in Glakes, not boot camp, I got to go through basic in Orlando when the Navy had a base there.
The grinder... I never saw much f it, we marched some, but not in winter and the PO who was supposed to take us didn't much like doing it and was always "busy". LOL, much stricter these days.
The grinder is a paved area used for drill practice.
...
AH! Underpants! He was at the housing office and they found a place to stick us. He can't associate with the neighbors, but no waiting list.
I'm really excited, but also cussing because I couldn't work up the motivation to pack before I knew if w...
My husband said when he was in GL BC (1974) they did something called "midnight raid" where there sister company would come over around midnight (after taps) and rush in then push them off the racks and hit them with pillows and of course his barr...
Thanks Connie, that makes sense. That was the female ET and female BE/E barracks while I was there, plus the Marines had a floor above us. Four of the Marines came down the fire stairwell (we were only allowed to use one, the rest were secured) wi...

Words That Ring True
"They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, w… Continue

So Say We All
For anyone who is a fan of the new Battlestar Galactica Series, you are familiar with that term. The people on the show use it as an "Amen" type of word. It signifies that the people are of one accord, one mind, steadfast. Something about the simplicity of the phrase hits me where I live. I like simple, particularly if simple can convey a good message. That little phrase can sum up the entire idea of the Armed Forces. A group of men and women, brought together for the devine purpose of defending… Continue
