  Barrett is doing well! Thanks for asking. He was in Pensacola for about 6 weeks before being classed up, and being given brown bagger status; which means he can live off base with his wife. He tells us the food there is the best in the Navy, and he and his bride really enjoy all Florida has to offer. I can't wait to hear your experience at PIR. We are as excited for you as we were to be there.

  I bet she did we both did on the first long letter he wrote which if u compare apples to oranges we send more than we got back lol but the enormous effect that letter had was something as u we hope to get a call thurs ill be here i cant wait to hear his voice im sure ill break down but try not to im a proud man and have never cried very much in my life but this has brought out part of me emotionally that i cant explain its a good thing.We cant wait to get there my wife goes to sleep early every nite to get to the next day We have a long journey ahead of us we leave west va on sat nite and travel to st louis to see her grandmother 12 hr drive to up to chicago to see nat 6 more hrs then 11 or so hrs home from there but itll be worth it ......im proud of our sons to make a nd complete such a task

  You got the first letter! Always a thrill, and more will come. It won't be long, and you'll start getting phone calls. As for flights, I've looked at priceline, expedia, and airline websites. They all price out the same. I wonder if a travel agent couldn't get you a good deal. Good luck
