Pat...I know what you mean about SD.  I've visited there twice, once on business and once for a soccer tourny for my oldest son, and if I ever moved to the West Coast that is where I would go.  The people I experienced were very nice.

Kirsten is is an MR.  She is really starting to enjoy WA state.  Although we shall see how she likes their winters since she has lived in AZ most of her life.  It shall prove quite different I'm sure.  She seems to be adjusting ok and making new friends.  I know it's tough leaving all your friends back at home.  However as I learned during my military career, you make some life long friends in the military.  Thanks to facebook I've reconnected with old friends from my Army days back in the 80's while stationed at Field Station Berlin and Kunia. 

I see that you are in Philly so we are not too far from each other.  I live in Eldersburg, MD. 

 

Please thank your kids for their service as we celebrate Veterans Day today!!

Hi Wil, sorry I haven't logged in a while. Yes, big difference leaving sunny San Diego to Bremerton:-( Tim didn't like Bremerton initially but I think he's gotten used to it. Don't know if he'll like Everett when the Nimitz changes homeports again, but he should be leaving the Nimitz soon due to PST. My daughter was stationed at NIOC in Kunia aka the tunnel for 3 yrs. She LOVED it there!! She's GSA to Djibouti in the Horn of Africa for a few more months & then hopefully will get orders to a ship or squadron in San Diego (I LOVE San Diego). If she can't get orders there she'll go back to Hawaii. I like Hawaii, but I live on the East Coast & that's a heck of a long flight. You call Tripler Crippler....I call it Pepto Bismol. My daughter had a couple trips to their ER & I can tell you I was not impressed with them at all....must be the nurse in me...lol.  How is your daughter enjoying the Nimitz? What is her rate?

 

Paul, thanks for posting the Nimitz News. I found out my son got blue jacket of the quarter when I read it on the Nimitz' facebook page the oher day. Tim is to modest to make a big deal of it:-(

@Pat....How does your son like it?  I guess it was a big change going from SD to Washington state.  Also I see that your daughter is in the Navy as well and stationed in HI.   I was stationed there 87-91 when I was in the Army.  I was at Field Station Kunia.  Actually my oldest son was born at Crippler, um...I mean Trippler Hospital.
