sjr23 commented on Rebecca M.'s group 'Tennessee Navy for Moms'"I'm certain someone in the group went to see their sailor come home on a ship sometime not all that long ago (within the last six months?). Can you please let me know who you were so I can send you some questions? Thanks!"

sjr23 commented on Sheila Clark's group 'Undesignated...What's Up With That?'"Thanks, Julie, for sharing what you do know and Lori, we'll have to stay in touch. Our sailors will be serving together with the same job status. I'm glad you responded!"

- Hi.....Yes, Cory is in Little Creek and has been there for 2 years this December. I've visited a couple of times and it's a smaller base, but really nice. Just a short drive to Virginia Beach and about an hour from Yorktown and Williamsburg. We live in Arizona so I visit once a year and Cory comes home once a year. He seems to like it.....seems to be a pretty friendly base.

- Hi, my son's best friend from highschool was stationed at Little Creek until this last weekend now he is in training to go to Afghanistan. But to your question...it takes Jesse 8-10 hours to get home. Comes down to how bad traffic is. The first 20 miles or so heading out of Norfolk are the worst. And Helenwood is a little over an hour north of Knoxville.

ses_monroe said… - Hey. I believe my sailor has Test 2 today. He had his first one last Thursday. I noticed your sailor already has a graduation date.. They have not told Brad anything about what is next. They said they are shooting for sometime in October.

- Hey, I'm in Tullahoma . Enjoy knowing he's in school and in the same place. After that there will be times that you have no idea where they are and they can't tell you. My son has been in 5yrs. He's on the Eisenhower and should be back to port soon. He has become independent so I don't hear from him too much. . So, no news is good news. Billie

I am not sure if Samantha classed up yet or not, last time she sent me a text she said it was gonna be sometime next week. So I sent her a text and asked her to tell me when she is or if she did already.
