Michele's Comments

Thanks for askin! Kat is back from her seven-month cruise the the mideast and is back in Everett....and really glad to be back on land! She does say it is pretty boring after sea though, but happy to get off the ship. She's in an appartment with another girl from the media dept so they are having fun....she did say "we're such dorks...." so that tells you they are enjoying landlubber status! Eric is about two-months into his seven-month cruise to the mideast....and looking forward to land! They did a port call in Cape Town, South Africa-- the first carrier to port there since '67 so that was pretty cool. Anyway, he is surviving-- I sent a care package with some good ol' Arizona hot sauce (Kat had the same request when she was at sea) so he is finally enjoying some of the chow! Funny the things that our sailors use to connect with home! Prayers to you and Wes! Paul

Bravo Michele! Now Wes looks forward to actually joining the fleet i imagine-- be sure to keep us posted where he goes to next. Paul

Hi Michele, thanks for your understanding. My prayer is that the Lord will work mightily in, through, and in spite of Obama...imagine the effect if he was truly born again and had to retreat from his ungodly social agenda, becoming pro-life, pro-family, pro-constitution. Blessings, K
ps I'll be out of touch for a few days

Hi Michele, thanks for your recent note. It was great to hear from you, especially since I felt like you might have been offended by my posts. May the Lord direct your thoughts and actions in this very crucial vote.
Blessings, Kevin

Hey girlfriend ~ Was thinking of you and Cindy, so I thought I'd drop you a line. I tried to call Cindy, but her phone was turne off. Called a N4M's Mom who I've stayed in contact with since Morgan was in bc. Recently, she gave me her number so I called her, we ended up talking for over an hour. Needless to say, I didn't get you called since it's almost midnight your time. I'm trying to get phone calls made. You're next on my list. In the meantime, how are you. I've been getting your email pics since you've been sending them to the aol address. In the chat room, we had talked about in house detention. I found out that Borah has the same thing, although I don't think it's as long as yours are there. I'll try to buzz you tomorrow night as I don't have anything going.

I would say he was an O as well, judging by the length of his A school. From what I understand, the O's are the guys on the flight decks putting the IFEs in the aircraft and the I's are in the shop working on the equipment. I would think being an O would be more fun. We should ask Kevin!

Hi Michele, The 'o' stands for Operational. AT's are either I or O. The I's have three times as long an A school as the O's do. Nick already completed the apprentice technical training up in Great Lakes. He is supposed to class up for A school on Nov 3rd, but you know how that goes. Nick mentioned that he might be there a long time waiting for his orders. I wonder why they have such a hold up.

With the baby it'll be a pretty special holiday season this year! Saw you and Carol having fun on the chat last night...I really don't do the chat thing much- since my fingers seem to go mucho faster than my brain sending messages in realtime gets problematic. I tend to type, sit and thing, then type some more....I have enough issues with dyslexic fingers...just once I want to type "the" instead of "teh"...................

Anyway...thing pretty good with Eric and Kat. The Lincoln returned from cruise a couple of weeks ago so Kat is actually on land some days! She does like that! The Roosevelt is on station in the Gulf of Oman supporting troops for Enduring Freedom...I'm sure he'll have some stories to tell, though he metions life sure is a lot like Groundhog Day!

Anyway- glad to hear Wes is dong well...keep us posted on his progress and how the new addition is doing.

Paul

Hey Michele- thought I'd say hey...What is the latest with Wes? Bet he's getting anxious with a familiy addittion getting closer! Best Regards- Paul

Michelle I responded to your post in the Political blog, please check it out.

Hey Michele, long time away from this site...sounds like Wes has some changes coming soon. While Luke was in boot camp he mentioned IA orders to go with the USMC or something. I did not like that, either, so I've prayed and committed him to the Lord. Recently I haven't heard any more from Luke about IA, but as his schooling comes to an end I'm preparing myself. Blessings on you and Wes! Kevin

Michelle, if your feel the right thing to do is go Third Party then do so. This is your right as an American. Whatever you do please think twice before voting for Obama. This man might be a decent fellow but he is a Socialist and this is not good for our country. God Bless you. Luis

Michele ~ you always have my support. I'm confused about why their rating puts them into IA. If I understand correctly, because his grades were good enough he qualified for C-school, which is a good thing. Yet, it seems to be a bad thing as well. It would be awesome if he got stationed closer to you, and like you said, you could spend more time with him. I've also heard that the election results will have a big say as to what comes next with us in Iraq. I'm really happy that he'll get to see his baby girl, that will be a great boost to him. I'm also betting that Wes was planning on telling you, not your ex. There's a lot of men out there, not on this site, that have no heart or tact. But, you did find a good one....right! Will Wes be home for Christmas? How does Wes like training with the Marines or is that when he gets to C school? I have tomorrow off, so I had planned on calling you.

Michelle, I hear ya about what you are going through. I see myself as American first, Conservative second and then Republican. I agree with some of what you have said. All I can say is that McCain was not my first choice. With Sarah Palin I feel a Hell of a lot better about voting for him. No matter who wins it is going to be a tough four years. BUT, I feel that Obama will really hurt our country with his Socialistic views. Pray about it and see what the Lord tells you.
Luis

Michele-- ya gotta keep your humor!!!

Michele? What is this I just read about Wes possibly being in Iraq before the holidays? When did you hear this news? Did he tell you why he chose to sign up for IA? How are you doing? Obviously, you are worried, who wouldn't be.

Michele- since reading your post this morning I've been trying to come up with a terribly patriotic and supportive response to help ease your worries and concerns---and I finally realized that I cannot and rightfully so. Nothing I could say can make you feel better about the possibility of Wes being in Iraq before the holiday season. But you need to know that you have my personal prayers and support and I'm sure that I speak for all the other Navy dads...and moms....as well in collectively offereing our prayers and support any time you need. NavyDads is a great way to share our concerns for our Sailors and please use us for any support and comfort you may need during this difficlut time. My son has indicated that on return from cruise he may very well also sign up for IA...I tell you this to show that you are not alone in your worries. I have to place the future in His hands and rely on the training and committment that Eric and his shipmates show to each other. Please keep the faith Michele! My best regards and support- Paul

Oh and the tears......tears at PIR and tears when I said goodbye again!! the good bye tears shocked me...they just happened.......
