    Hi Bill,
    I noticed a comment you posted in the Gunner's Mate group regarding VBSS and wanted to let you know that I started a new group. I would like to invite you to join. Please let anyone you know who has an interest or affiliation to VBSS about the new group. Thank You!!

    My best to your sailor, you and your family!

    Bill, thanks for adding me to your list. I haven't been able to obtain more info because I am up to my neck with work and other situations. I just can't wait to see my Sailor again! We are in frequent contact via email, but there is nothing like giving him a biiiiiiig hug ! I understand he will have 2 days off upon arrival, will work for 2 weeks, and then come to South Florida for few days, pick up his stuff and return to JAX. I will keep you posted and thanks again for your guidance!AC

    Bill, how was Christmas? Ours was great. Nick has been home since the 18th of Dec, he will go back to Great Lakes Jan 3rd and stay until the 14th then home again for another two weeks. He can't wait to go to San Diego. He is tired of home (Peru, Il). He told his mom he can't wait to get back to Great Lakes because it means he will be in California next.

    How is Brett doing with V.L.S.? Is the class what he expected? Sure hope Nick will. I think its the frustration of waiting. It sure has been a long time since he graduated A-School (3 Oct). The kid wants to get on with his NAVY career. Can't blame him. Well best to you and your family, hope Brett and family are doing well. Until something exciting or new happens see you later. Your friend Gary T.

    Thank you Bill. It is an odd feeling, but we all have to go through it. I appreciate your response.

    Bill, how long before Brett classed up for A-school did he start his secret security clearance. Nick filled out his papers last Wednesday 22/07/09. Also Karen C's son filled his out. Just wondering if it is an indication A-school maybe drawing near! Gary T.

    Thanks for the input Bill. Some of the A -School guys have been telling those on hold that they will have to wait until August for class. Nick is finishing his 4th week on hold and is getting quite bored. Gary T.

    Bill - I can't recall if you said your son is in the same class as Dan or not. Dan's in a pilot class of some sort with a full-time instructor - not comuter-based training. He likes it ... and thinks they may be done around 7/28. What are you hearing?
