Hi everyone, Hope everyone is doing ok. I got a call from Kevin last night and he was pretty upset. He went out to eat and when he gave the cashier his debit card to pay for the bill he was told his...

Jackie, I just sent Nick a message asking him about it. I will let you know what he says. It is pretty funny you brought it up. Nick has his statements sent here and I noticed he has had 3 debit card...

Ryan got his orders for PDS today. He'll be with the Marine Wing Communication Squadron-38 at Miramar, Calif.

I know. It's a real bummer. They don't get any time to come home first either. Ryan said he'd try for RA but he used time to come home for Christmas holidays so I doubt he'll get it. I wonder why it...

Cindy and Megan, my heart goes out to you. I was in the same boat a couple weeks ago. I guess it's like Nick's recruiter told him when he put in his top three choices. It's a "dream" sheet. Doesnt...

Thanks, Becky. Ryan called me last night and we talked for a while. He was disappointed, but he bounces back from adversity very quickly and even seemed excited. He said almost all of his group was...

I read on Camp Pendleton's site that they dont allow them to go to Mexico because of the danger. I told Nick about it and he said it depends on which platoon or company or something. I don't think...

As of Jan 2008 everyone is required to have a passport to enter Mexico whether it be by land, sea or air. With that being said, if your Marine does have a passport it doesn't mean he will be permitted...

Thanks Karie for clearing all of this up for us. I didnt know you now needed a passport. I have been to Mexico several times in the distant pass. As a matter of fact, Nick was born in a border town in...

Becky, I went to Mexico with a group of friends right after high school graduation, we use to live in Texas. What a long trip that was as we were driving from Dallas, it was fun though.

Cindy and Megan...so sorry to hear the guys weren't stationed closer to home. I guess I will be the next one on here saying where Kevin will be stationed and it probably won't be near home...

Jackie- that is funny that you used to call Kevin a tight wad. I called Nick the same thing. He wouldnt spend his money on anything but he never had any either now that I think of it. He bought a...

You guys make me smile! I was just talking with a co-worker at work today and I told him that it's been a roller-coaster ride, more so for those deloyed or getting ready to deploy. It's also been very...

Cindy, they sure can. Michael has a few friends stationed at Pendleton so he visits them often. As long as they don't travel out of the boundry limits then they are fine. Does your son have a vehicle?

Megan, I dont know for sure, but Nick told me (and I asked my cousin - an ex marine) and he sad that Pendleton will be Nicks PDS for the entire 5 year enlistment. I hope not, but I would get my hopes...
