Dor - I remember seeing you post often when I first joined N4M about 3 years ago....I learned a lot from your posts ;-)  Thank you for dropping in and updating us!  What a wonderful family you have...blessings to you & your family!

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on March 3, 2015 at 3:13pm

Dor!! So glad to hear from you! I have wondered and prayed so often for you and your boys. So glad how things are playing out. And granddaughters! Wonderful for you.

I don't know much about IA but my SIL works at a nuclear plant in Brownville NE which is southeast corner, right across the river from IA. A lot of IA folks work there. Just a thought. Just having him home will be awesome. And your Nat'l Guardsman too!

Oh well, having a son in FL sounds like great vacation planning to me.  ;D  Will you be there for the baby's birth?

Thanks so much for the update. You were missed!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on March 3, 2015 at 12:27pm

Hi all - Happy Tuesday!

Yeah to those that are finishing up exams & getting ready for orals!  Almost done - woohoo!

Dittersmom - enjoy your visit with your sailor - get lots of hugs.  I don't have an answer for you on the roommate situation.  Tell him to spread the word & maybe someone will be needing a roommate - Is he staying in GC or heading to BS?

Comment by Dink(Vinson) on March 3, 2015 at 11:47am
Thanks Dittersmom, hope you have a great time with your sailor!
Comment by Mark on March 3, 2015 at 2:41am

My understanding is that if appropriate barracks space is not available, lower rates may draw BAH.  Apparently, the situation is not uncommon in some areas.

Comment by Dittersmom on March 3, 2015 at 1:57am

Almost forgot, I wanted to ask if there is a particular place that my son can look for someone who might be needing a roommate or wants to be a roommate?   He is looking for an apartment and would like to share the cost.  Any ideas would be great.  All of his friends were grad and go to BS. 

Comment by Dittersmom on March 3, 2015 at 12:30am
Congratulations ladies for your sailors passing their exams. We are very proud of then and please tell them so.

My sailor will be home for a visit tomorrow. We held our breath waiting to hear if he could come. They didn't approve his chit until today. Yeah! Can't wait to hug him. None of the other stuff matters.
Comment by SoCal_Sailor_Dad on March 2, 2015 at 11:13pm

J's/S'smom - I believe BAH at duty stations is determined by rank; unmarried E-4 and below must live on-base / on-ship, E-5 and up get BAH. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Comment by BoyWonderMom on March 2, 2015 at 10:42pm
Congrats to your son Dinky.
Now to patiently wait for the oral exam. :)
Comment by Dink(Vinson) on March 2, 2015 at 10:19pm
Good to hear the exam's out of the way BWmom. It was a few days before mine let me know he passed, but that doesn't necessarily mean it took that long for him to find out. He's not the best communicator! :)
Now we just have to worry about the oral exam, oh my!
