grandpa Our Trip to Coronado

On Saturday Oct. 25, 2008, my wife and I flew to San Diego to visit our Grandson. We drove to Coronado, checked into the Navy Lodge, and got settled. Everyone at the Lodge and on the Base were great. They greeted you as they walked by and helped if you looked like you were lost. If you get a chance to stay at the Lodge try to get Oceanside and 5th floor or above for a great view of the BUD’s Training area. Be prepared for Reveille and the National Anthem each morning played on the PA system plus… Continue

Kelly B. (Nick's Mom) Has anybody heard anything about recruits having their wisdon teeth pulled?

I read somewhere that if your recruit still has their wisdom teeth that they will get pulled while in BC. Has anybody else heard of this? Is it true? Why would they do that? Seems a little extreme if it is true. Continue

Cat Williams Soon...Very Soon...

Amber was able to call us today for about 5 minutes. Got to talk to my Bunny. She's almost done...13 days. She's SO looking forward to seeing us on the 20th. I get a letter from her every 4 or 5 days now. She's now getting a letter from me just about every day. All she has to do is pass her final PFA and the rest is as good as done. She has demanded that her Daddy bring her one of his fresh pumpkin pies! *laughs* The only thing she's worried about right now is that a lot of people in her Unit… Continue

I just recieved my daughters bag she took with her to boot camp & I'm baffled! We followed the very strict guidelines given on what she could take with her. Most of her stuff was shipped home, right down to her under garments! Is this normal? She left on November 3rd & it will be a miracle if I don't chew off my hand by the end of the 8 wks!!!! Continue

Jonyboy1988 A Nice Gesture

I think it would be a nice gesture of we could send some cards to some kind of commanding officer or public affairs officer at Fort Hood. I have a friend who's son is stationed there. Lucky for him he was at another base in training. If anyone knows an address where myself or other's can send a card please post it. We need to keep all of our armed forces in our thoughts and prayers. Continue

A's step-mom Poem for Moms of the Service men and women.

Mothers To Others There are soldiers' mothers who reach out Beyond their own, to spread love about They try so hard and are so sincere As mothers to others, they're premier Each letter or note comes from their heart Sent written with love, feelings impart A package is wrapped, filled with good cheer Just like at Christmas with motherly care How God must so love all that they do Their thoughtfulness shows, concerns so true Some grateful soldiers, do know the score They're thankful for moms… Continue

A's step-mom Prayer for fallen service men and women in Texas.

By Rev. Dick Kozelka (ret) First Congregational Church of Minnesota Minneapolis, MN. Eternal God, Creator of years, of centuries, Lord of whatever is beyond time, Maker of all species and master of all history -- How shall we speak to you from our smallness and inconsequence? Except that you have called us to worship you in spirit and in truth; You have dignified us with loves and loyalties; You have lifted us up with your lovingkindnesses. Therefore we are bold to come before you without gro… Continue
