Bob...Yes he has filled out a bit but so have I ..Ha !! It was great to see him for 5 days...He is doing well over all but seemed a bit tired...He is having to learn much and those difficult 24 hour watches ....You must get on that ship it will blow your mind how big it is and the passageways...Holy cow !!! D. J hopes they get underway soon...The tough part for him is the down time waiting...Mostly older sailors in his Combat Systems positions some I am afraid not a good influence for a young man ? I have prayed for a few Godly men or women to be in his life but he must seek that himself. The temptations for are difficult to compromise he has told me. I told him some of that never changes but he can overcome through Christ and fellowship with other believers. Prayers for Katie and D J and all our sailors. God bless you Brother !!

Bob.....Right on Kaylan !!! God bless her and man you have gotta to be proud of her !! Sounds to me like she was in a stellar division and she held her own !! I would cry ....I am the crying type big time....I am already worried about slobbering during PIR just seeing the sailors and of course my son. We should hear tonight or tomorrow in the a.m. if David's division got their Navy caps ?

Prayers big time for Kaylan and the flu going through camp that David had. David said he also said they sometimes can you a bad time if you go to sick bay but with him it was a must. Will be praying for her. I can't wait to go back to the hotel room and let him relax and simply ask him a million questions on my mind about this past 2 months ?? Hopefully he will feel like talking ??

Will follow up before we meet....

Blessings my friend.....Scott

Greetings late night Bob...How did Kaylan and her division do at Battle stations ?? Prayers for her and her team. D.J. is tomorrow. Getting so close. I hope we have time to say hi and it would sure be cool to get a photo of you and I together with our sailors ? I know it might be crazy hectic...We will see...God bless you...Bob......

Bob...Lets say hi at least on PIR day...My cell # is 206-799-5260....If they allow cells in the PIR hall or call before....Dave ( D.J. ) said in his letter battle stations is Monday ???.....He got the flu for 2 days and went to sick hall and he survived. Does not feel great but is excited to see the family and girl friend. Man at first I worrried about everything ( great man of faith ? ) Now here we are 7 days away. Hoping for that call that his division passed battle stations. He has been AROC for several weeks and hopes he keeps the position. I am proud of him and all our kids no matter what. I feel bad for your gang with Kaylan being a grad and go. I think that would bum me out a little especially traveling a great distance but just seeing graduation has got to be a thrill and well worth it. Gods richest blessings to you....Scott

did some quick checking and thats the one we stayed at in march 2007.the front part of the hotel had been remodeled and thats what the photos were based on.we had a room towards the rear of the hotel and it wasn't very nice. thats where they put the party people if you get my drift. my wife was very uncomftable there so we changed to the Quality Inn just south on the same road. I think it was green bay blvd for the same price .it was nicer and the same price. there is another hotel not far from there that is like a marriot suites at that time was about $89but i dont remeber the road.i do remeber it was close to a wal-mart and some restraunts in a nice part of town and not far from the base.things are alot closer together than you think.hope this helps.good luck and enjoy the PIR it IS something to see..........

Bob....God bless you my Kentucky friend. We must meet and at least give each other a high 5 on graduation day. You are right on about the pride to be a sailor and serve our country. I have never been to Kentucky but Lord willing someday ?? I am a native Washingtonian on the left coast agghhh... I hope your area is more shall we say conservative then mine ....Blessings to you and have a great day !!!

Bob....I am so happy for Kaylan !!! Man...What a diffrence to be part of a great division. You must be proud !! Hopefully David's division will get their act together and get some awards before the end. I pray that he is still on tract for 10/16 graduation. I am not worried about awards so much as his strength and ability to persevere and marhc with pride on 10/16 with his division. I will let you know if we hear from him. Its been over 8 days ....no letters, calls etc... Blessings to the Dixon's !!

Bob....Sadly I hear form my wife from Navy moms.com that several mothers say there is trouble in David's division that is hurting the entire divisoon ?? I did not think the Navy would put up with trouble makers ?? I have not heard or has he written for over 1 week. Just praying he is remaining strong and not getting down. Praying the those who stir the pot might get straight or ejected !! How isa Kaylan doing ?? I think she is ion a good division ? Man ...time is getting close now...hopefully 19 days...Blessings to your family.....Scott

Bob...All is quiet on the front....No news good news ??? Have not heard if they yanked all his teeth or just the two...Hope Kaylan is doing well and we are down to 24 but who is counting ...HA !!! Yes...I sent him gum but the Co's found it and punish him saying he put me up to it...Not true....He kind of laughed....I thought I would try amd send him a cell phone disguised as a piece of paper ??? I hope his division starts doing better...So far very few privledges...Blessings to you and your gang....Scott

Thank you Bob. We actually got a call from him yesterday. He said they asked if anyone conld not get through and let him talk for 2 and a half minutes, He said it was "Awful", but he sounded great. I got his address from the recruiter and we have already started sending letters, This site has been a great help. I wish the best for everyone's recruits and sailors,

Bob....Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.....David called today for 10 minutes....He was in sick bay after having 2 teeth pulled..They are evaluating if they want to pull the other 2. He said over all he is doing well and in good spirits. His division has some challenged sailors that have hurt them in getting any privileges etc...So far he is not a grad and go....Will follow up....
At 9:00am on September 16, 2009, SCOTT MAHON said…
Bob..Thank you for your prayers...Sadly no call came. We do not know how things went but am trusting that all is ok. Hopefully we will hear from him soon. Tell Katie to run over to the other divison and check on him and call you...Ha !! I am sure the c.o's wouldn't mind ?? Lord willing 4 weeks from today it will be graduation day !! We press on to the upward call ! God bless you Bob....Have agreat week. I will let you know when we hear from him .

Greetings Bob !!! We arrive Thursday late afternoon ( Wife Janet, daughter Katie and David's girlfriend Jordan ) So it might be tough to get together depending on moods of family , stress etc.. I want to though ! We are staying at Springhill suites in Waukegan. Do want to meet you though at least on the day of graduation if not after ?? I want to plan things for the family but from what I am reading many sailors just want to go back to rooms and chill, watch t.v., etc.. I will leave open for what he wants and hopefully he does not have a grad and go situation. If all goes well I do plan on seeing him in A school in Florida and according to his recruiter there is a good chance he will be home for Christmas ??? He sure loves our letters but it sounds like they don't give them all the mail you send them at once. He should have has at least 25 letters by now but only last reported he has seen 4 or 5 ? I know his girl friend has written at least 10 and he finally got to open 1 ?? What have you heard from Kaylan ?? Is she hanging tough ?? Going to 2 football games this weekend The Huskies today and the Seahawks tomorrow. Miss our son big time but praying all is well and October 16th will be here soon. God bless you my friend.....Scott

Bob....Thanks for information....Just got a letter from David....He wrote it during Holiday routine while irioning clothes on a Sunday...He said it has been tough and rough but he is making it....He said it has been depressing at times but he likes his shipmates and gets along with his RDC ??? He said there is always someone yelling at you. He got a co staff job in charge of starboard watch...I guess watching can be tough ?? He really misses home ( especially his girl friend ) but presses on...So thank the Lord we finally got a letter...Now I will begreedy in my prayers and pray for a phone call...Blessings to all you gang and especially Kaylan..Scott
