Wow...A day full of Marines!!! We started out with a trip onto Camp Lejeune, which I found out today is actually to be pronounced Lejurn. But which ever way you say it, that place is just neat!! I love to go to the MCX and see all the Marine Corp stuff!! I did manage to get the 3 of my children to stand still long enough to get a quick picture!! We had a really good day!! 
So here are my two Marines that have been together since bootcamp and will be deployed together!! They just are so much fun to be around and really make you not think about the fact that they are leaving in just a couple of days!! I did meet one of Justins squad leaders and this is his 3rd deployment and he really made me feel much better about all this! He explained that they have satellite phones and they let them use them most of the time once a week!!! And that it is not that bad over and that they will only be gone 7 months since they are sending so many troops over!! :) I can do 7 months!!! :)

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good time, lots of nice pistures, they are always smiling!!!! I wanted to tell you about those satellite phones...my friend's son is an Army Ranger he is in Iraq & calls home every Sunday morning from one of those phones ~ she said that most of the time he sounds like he's in the next room...did you buy any Marine "stuff"? Well, we're all here for you "cheering" you on!!!!! "We gotcha' back Cindylou!!!!!" ~ Love & Prayers to Justin, I just know that he'll do just fine over there, but I'm sending up those prayers anyway (IT NEVER HURTS!!!!) LYLAS!!!!!

ReplyDeleteLordy Lordy special reasons for me to blog 7 months is a little over 200 days that sounds so much better home for the fourth I Pray. I Love you Justin, and our twin people and your parents be safe By the way Happy Happy Birthday Tracy you know how much this dear nanny loves you and our whole family
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone, for the Birthday Wishes. I told Avery is was my Birthday and she said "Who is coming over with cake?". Too cute. Sounds like the deployment is not so scary after all. Had you not gone up there, you would not have received some pertinent information! Glad you went. Alex will have to get back to her "bring Justin home safe" prayer like she did at Boot Camp! Love you ALL! Squeeze him for me!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Cynthia! I'm so glad you got to go see him off in style.
ReplyDeleteYou can definitely make it seven months!
Love you :0)
