Kevin's Comments

Thanks Kevin for your reassurance that the chiefs I remember, our generation, were what I remember. Yeah, I'm not for nose wiping. I am for personal accountability. Our sailors have to know that their actions aboard ship or even on shore have consequences for their shipmates. They must also learn that hard work and dedication brings rewards. Sounds like the HT hasn't figured out that part.

Hey Chief, what's wrong with some of your kind? Andy is the honor student in his class and got a commendation from Adm. Sharp, but the HTC on his "ship" (BEQ) won't grant him liberty. Says he's a SR, even though his uniform has 3 stripes and his LES says SN. CAn't HTCs read?

Kevin - No I wasn't offended by your comments, possibly anothers, but I know everyone has a right to think, feel, and vote as they choose - I respect that even if others can't. I am a bit weary of the turn out late last night, didn't finally get asleep until 2 or 3 am. All I know is a lot of promises have been made that I don't think his butt will be able to cash! Even in his acceptance speech he already went back on a promise, did you catch the part where he said 'we may not be able to do it in one year or one term. . . ' what a surprise huh? not! Anyways I sure hope God knows what He is doing this time, and that is where my allegiance will be with God.

Kevin, the anger has subsided a little and now I am more level headed. My son is going to be in the Navy soon and Obama is going to be his Commander in Chief. I will always defend my country as is my son but I will do whatever I can to make sure that the Community Organizer goes back to Chicago in 2012. I can say a Hell of a Lot More but it would take forever and I am at work right now. Take care and God Bless.

Kevin - Happy election day! :) The day has come and today America will change. I agree with a lot that wrote in your post in Talk Politics, I do believe there is desperation across board on both sides. I am troubled by the lack of coverage for the other two candidates for President. Again and again I come in contact with people that didn't have a clue there were others running for the office. The older I get the more I see that our democracy is broken. My hope is that one day it will become honest again and scandal is removed from the whole process. Anyways I seen where Luis commented on the 6-9% of undecideds, I have thought long and hard as one of those undecideds and today my time has ran out. When I go to the polling booth today I am going to say a prayer with my ballot in my hand and hope that God will move me to choose the right person to bring glory back to our country. May God Bless America!!

Kevin, I forgot to tell you, my daughter came out OK from the surgery, nothing bad. Thank you for your prayers and for thinking about my family. Luis

Hey there Kevin, Pumpkinhead comes from that horror movie about a monster called Pumkinhead. Honestly Obama is not a monster what he brings to the White House is going to be bad for our country. Dick Morris said last night that the 6 to 9% of the undecideds will probably lean towards McCain and assure him the victory. I too am praying with my family today for this very thing. God have mercy on us all but we must obey his Divine Will. Luis

Kevin, Hey how are you doing? I wanted to say I talked to my sailor this morning he is doing good now he really went through a hard time I was the mean person I told him to get his stuff together and focus it took alot of talking and he went to the chaplin several times he sounds very good now so I feel better.. I saw you on so I thought I would write and say Hi you were always there when I needed a answer Thanks for it, Cindy

Hey Kevin, thanks for your prayers. Elizabeth is not going to have the Biopsy today. Instead she is going to have surgery on Thursday of next week. Her doctor had her visit a surgeon and he felt it was best if the round mass that they found was removed. It is not cancerous and so she will have this done next Thursday. Please pray that everything goes well.

As for Luis (Trouble) I am working on getting his braces off before he is allowed to leave. I need to pay the Orthodontics about $1,120.00 no later then December so that he can leave in February at the latest. Kevin I am going to miss him dearly but this is the BEST choice of his life. I can't wait for him to start and he can wait to start as well. By the way do you have a team with our Fantasy Football team and if so what is the name of your team. "I Know", I have probably asked this of you a million times.

Hey Kevin, I really want to thank you for praying for my daughter and more importantly for taking the time to ask me about her. God Bless you and your family always.

Kevin - I have often wondered what happened to you, I hope all is okay with the family. That is neat that Luke's schooling is coming to an end because Wes finishes A-school on Halloween. I haven't gotten specifics so I am speculating here, when he graduates A-school he will wait around until he gets his orders for C-school and then he will come home for his 2 weeks and go directly to wherever he is to be stationed. I do know Wes is considering the P3 Orion. . . isn't that the same aircraft you specialized in? If he gets it he said he could be put either in Washington or Hawai'i. As for the IA thing, that was what Cindy C. thought I was talking about, Wes didn't put in for IA. Wes is, however, PT'ing with the Marines since he has been in Pensacola. A phone call I received from his dad had upset me because he told me that Wes will be going to Iraq before Christmas, I became very upset and worried sick. After I collected myself I called my son back to confirm this information and he said it wasn't correct that he will get his orders (for C-school) by Christmas and when that is completed he may be sent to Iraq. All this, of course, depends on his orders. I am doing much better now since I have more time and I know Wes will be able to see his daughter before leaving (oh yeah we know they are having a girl :) both Wes and Emily are very happy). This is very long, next time you musn't be away so long hehehe. God Bless, Michele :)

HooYah Kevin- thought I better say hello! Thanks for all you and your wife have done in service to our Country. And thanks for being part of NavyDads- Best Regards- Paul

Kevin thanks for giving my wife the info so fast. I really appreciate your knowledge and understanding of the Navy for us moms and dads. IA I've never heard of it until Cindy told me that Evan volunteered for it. What's wrong with our kids? I was already worried enough with him working on the roof. But now Iraq? That's a whole other list of things to worry about. I would feel better with him on a ship but I understand he wants to serve his country by being on foot in Iraq. I guess he thinks he'll have a bigger hand in it by being there. One of my best friends has set foot in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. many times since 9/11 and he wouldn't have it any other way. I've also had a friend who lost her brother in Afghanistan. It's sad. Wherever he go's and whatever he does it will be in God's hands. In the end we thank you for your time and input you've given us. This is truly a support group my wife and I both need. Especially if and when our son heads to Iraq. But I know my son. He is definitely headed to Iraq. So we may be a headache to ya with the endless questions. So I apologize in advance. Thanks for your time. ttyl

Kevin thanks Evan called today and told me that he is trying very hard to get it. He really wants to do this I am a basket case. I told him to stay in the bubble I like him there..haha. What is the site on n4m? Thanks again for the info..Cindy

Hey Kevin this is Cindy EG's wife. Do you know what a IA is? please let me know.Thank you

Kevin, I like the "Wild Man" name. I might use it in the future. I heard more about the 4th Fleet which is going to be stationed here in Florida. It will be used to protect our southern hemisphere and to let the little monkey in Venezuela know who the big boy really is. As for the Sarah Palin pictures I guess I better put it back on for the guys.

I honestly pray that nothing happens to this good lady. I am so energized with her being picked for VP and I know that she will be President after McCain has served his term. Osama doesn't have a chance in Hell. He is a little man-child as Rush calls him and our country will see this fool for what he is in the debates. As for Biden he better pack some daipers because Sarah is going to open a can of Whoop A$$ on him.

Kevin, are you with the Fantasy Football league and if so what is your Football Team Name? Take care and God Bless. Luis

Hey there Kevin, I took the picture from the Republican Party of Alaska website. Let me tell you I was going to vote for McCain only because Obama is bad for our country. But with Sarah Palin I am now excited. I am madly in love with my wife, but Sarah is a Hotty!
Take good care and God Bless.
Luis

Thank you very much for your advice. I received word from my base (since the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN isn't in port yet) that I will have next to no room so I will find out in the next year how things run (hopefully). I will most likely wait at least a year or so before thinking of buying a car up there. I do hope that I will have time to look at the sites.
Thank you again
Paul

Hello Kevin,
Thank you so much for your response. I am new to all of this , not only having my daughter in the Navy but responding to anything on the internet. I hope to find encouragement , this has been extremely difficult. I agree with you I'm old school also. I never served in the military unfortuneately but my father was in the Navy. I am so PROUD of my daughter she has taught me the meaning of courage. I'm a big BOOB and very emotional but hope to get better as time goes on. Her job as it stands right now is Air Crewmen, with an opportunity to qualify as a rescue diver. What is your son doing at this time. Sami is in her 3rd week of boot camp and we have not been able to talk with her at all. God's blessing to both you and your son

Good afternoon, thank you for your advise. I am sure I will be busy considering I will be the newbie but I hope I will have time to visit Washington. I am thinking of buying a car there but I am still pondering this. I am wondering what life on a carrier is like for a person in an administrative type of position. Take it easy, have fun.
Paul
