"I think the curtain thing changed after the 2010 deployment when the ship changed commanding officers. Seems to be allowed or not allowed depending on what those in charge want."

Pat (MP) said… - Hi Wi-mom, I read somewhere that you were in Hawaii for the 4th of July. I was there June 24th to July 9th visiting my daughter. How did you like the festivities at Pearl Harbor with all the ships there for RIMPAC? It was amazing but so so CROWDED!! How did you enjoy your trip?

Gwynned said… - Hi there!
Glad to be your friend, sorry I didn't see the invite until just now. The Hampton Inn is right on Hampton Blvd. It's only 5 minutes, if that, to the base. Right down the street. Very comfortable, you'll enjoy it. There are places to eat on the blvd. near the hotel. When you meet up with your sailor, he can take you to the NEX and you can shop cheap. He probably knows his way all around Norfolk (it's not that big). I am so sorry that I am not coming this year. I didn't join N4M until after last year's HC. Now, that I have friends, I'm a little upset that I won't be able to meet them. Do have a grand time, as I know that you will!!

Rebecca M. said… - Wi-Mom,
I thought you'd get a kick out of it. My son finished school right before the IKE came back from deployment last year, so this is his first "big" deployment.
Again, it was so nice of your son to write us back. Sweetest thing. I made my day!

- I received the sweetest note from you son today. It said " I received your card yesterday, March 25. I picked it up on my lunch break and put off reading it till Taps thinking it was just from my mom. I looked at the return address puzzled for about a half hour trying to think if I know you. When I opened the card and read HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It instantly brought a smile. It wasn't until tonight that I figured out what N4M stood for. I guess the light bulb went off and everything fell into place. It truly did lift my spirits to know we have more support than our family and boastful moms. Once again Thank you for the card and the smile that made a stressful day melt away."
Sincerely, Samuel
Isn't that sweet! What a good young man to write back. You should be very proud!
