Dan,Steve, as far as the shape of the equipment I have no idea. James never said anything about it one way or the other.James was at FOB Wilson his whole time in-country aside from about 2 weeks in transfer to and from Afghanistan plus about a month…

Steve,we didn't have any problems with communications while James was over there unless they were outside the wire.. Then there was no communications.... James got in the habit of getting up at 4:30  so he could get on the computer or the…

Hey Denise,the way I look at it is everything will work out for our kids as they are still young.Even Michael is ,in the whole scheme of things. 31 is really not all that old to get into another career.... it sounds like he is into mechanics so that…

James is just barely starting and has a lot of life ahead of him,but if it happens he will just come back home and enroll in centralia comm. college as they have a very good welding school.. That is pretty much all he has wanted to do  since he…

Hey Denise,James went up for P.O. 2 this time,but from talking to him he really didn't think he did that good on this advancement test... So I know he for one will not be upset.. He'll just shoot for the one prior to their next…

What were your feelings when your Sailor joined the Navy:
my feelings were a little bit mixed,good that he had the foresight to go out and do something honorable with his life and see some of the world besides small town U.S.A and not so good because as our kids leave a little part of us leaves also.And i thought it would get easier after the first 2 left.(not)

Steve, I will keep your son in my prayers! By the way I am from Puyallup and was wondering where galvin is located as never heard of it. Amazing a washingtonian not knowing all the towns in her own home state! LOL I have not been back home since 1988. Iplan to fly out there once my daughter Brooklyn is back at Whidbey from Japan in 2012. She was deployed with her squadron the first of this month to the USS GW for six months

Steve will you take a IOU for the boat ? J/K or let me work it off ? i don't care if its a gas hog . people like me would kill around here to have something that nice !
Glad you likes the M M boots they would never keep my feet warm, guess i am just one of the weird ones. So is it warming up yet ? going to have a few days in the low 80s next week , If it doesn't rain, we have so much rain we think we all live in the pacific northwest.
Its getting real green here in the desert.

Hey Steve, how you doing, sorry have not been in contact much....It's football season, and man coaching these kid's take's alot of my time.....

But yes we talk to Eddie just about every other day, his little sister won't go long without talking to her big brother.....He said he might be able to come home around Christmas, but same as James, just not sure....

He keeps saying he will still be deploying next year March or April...I come to my sense's that you just never know what will happen.......But other than that everything is going good, or as good as we can expect...

So how is James likeing his new base?? And what is he doing in his free time?? Has he been di=oing any welding?????aid here lately they have been doing alot of it.......Well gotta go, at work!!!LOL

Take care Steve-

Steve glad to hear James is doing good!!!!!!!!!!! and i am sure he is ready to get out of there.........

All has been quite here, except for Eddie having his truck.....Now we never know were he is going to be on the weekend's...LOL

He was in New Jersey this weekend, has his best freind their......So we figured he will be going to Jersey often.......

Hope Jameds don't let that A**hole get the best of him, but it should get him ready for the rest of his life...I think we all still have someone like that, in our everyday life.......

Well take care and talk to you later

Ed-

P.s. like that music you have on your page, ROCKEN OUT TO IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
