This is 1807-T before their Dash for Cash this week - wish I had an "after" shot as well :)

Comment by bigsky21 on March 29, 2018 at 11:43am

I'll check to make sure, but I don't think there are any names - they're all in their gym clothes.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on March 29, 2018 at 11:42am

bigsky21 - it's ok as long as no last names are visible.

Comment by bigsky21 on March 29, 2018 at 11:38am

NNLori, which class is your son? Mine is scheduled to graduate A school in May too, class 1807-T.

B'sNukeMom, is it OK to post a group photo of class 1807-T on here? I have one taken this week before their dash for cash....

Good Morning!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on March 28, 2018 at 11:23am

Rebecca J - I hope that the "switch" works out and you get to spend Easter with your son!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on March 28, 2018 at 11:18am

NNLori - that's what we are here for - to help everyone through this crazy nuke pipeline in any way necessary.  No need to apologize my friend!  I too have a hard time responding from my phone but I'm lucky in that I sit at a desk all day so I can keep up with what's happening (during the week anyhow!).  The weekends I read but don't respond as much.  And I agree ~ it's gets a little difficult to keep everyone straight sometimes (especially since I know many of you on FB too) but that's ok - no one will get hurt feelings (I hope!).

And that is wonderful news that your son got you a reservation at the Villas - May can't come soon enough lol!

Comment by Rebecca J on March 28, 2018 at 11:17am
NNLori....congratulations on your sons A school graduation. Each milestone is so important and I'm so glad you are able to go. Enjoy your time with him. Be sure and attend power school graduation. It is impressive.
I'm hoping to have my sailor home for Easter weekend but he is not sure yet. Someone has to switch with him in order for him to come home.

Happy Wednesday everyone. I'm looking forward to Easter weekend and family dinner!
Comment by NNLori on March 28, 2018 at 11:01am

Good morning everyone!! I want to say thank you to all of you! I so enjoy following the conversations and I learn so much from each and everyone of you. I'm sorry I don't respond more and individually. I have "issues" with using this site on my phone so I am not able to respond and many times I want to. By the time I get to my computer I can't remember who said what. So I apologize but please know I value all of you and this site for the support it provides me!! Thank you so much. I cheer for those with good and happy news and my heart breaks for those who have difficulties in life and in the pipeline process. I have to say I've never met a more intelligent, supportive and kind group of women in my life. It's just so amazing. I wish so much that I could know you all by name and face (then maybe my 55 year old brain could keep you all straight. LOL!! ) 

I did want to share some exciting news to the conversation!! My son is in A school to be an ET and his graduation coming up in May and I am so excited! He was able to get reservations for us at the Foster Creek Villas!! I really thought I had waited too long and that they would all be taken!! But for once I got lucky!! My daughter is not happy because I hear they either don't have wifi or its really bad but hopefully we can come up with strategies to overcome that issue!! I heard someone was able to connect through the camp ground wifi. We shall see. It's becoming real now and I can't wait to see my son. I haven't seen him since January 1st!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. After he told me he was able to get the Villa he said "guess I have graduate now" LOL!! Yup cause I'm coming!! LOL

Hope everyone is having a happy hump day!! :)
