My son just got orders for Whidbey NAS,,,

He is excited,,,

know anything about it ?

wheel,

My buddy Jack, who was on the USS Ogden with me, bought a home up there and he said it was awesome. He actually kept his home and left his wife there when he got orders to the Ogden which was out of San Diego. He used to fly home on MAC flights whenever he could.

That's the website that'll explain things for you...

It's in a fairly small town, but still reasonably close to Seattle. Lots of fishing, crabbing and deer in the area if he's in to that.

Its a beautiful area. My family used to have property on Bainbridge (sp?) Island about 20 years back.

Uncle and two cousins live nearby.

That's what I was thinking Jamie !

how far from there are ya ?

There, fixed it for you. Pacman lives just south of there on the island.

BTW, Tell your Son to go see Fort Casey when he's there. Cool restored coastal defense site.

cool !

will do

thanks

*AHEM* that's what I said in post #3. *AHEM*

you and Pacman is cuzins ?

I dint know dat...8-[

I picked up on it.

With wheel, sometimes you have to make it obvious...

Lots of great things to do.....Olympic Peninsula,Mount Ranier,Port Orchard.Space Needle,Snoqualmie......Seattle is just a ferry ride away and for a city of it's size it's one of the few I've thoroughly enjoyed touring around.Of all my assignments this one and Yokosuka hold the fondest memories..LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG wet winters but the most beautiful 3 month summer he'll ever experience.

If he's not already attached I'd be prepared.....He'll soon find the University District in Seattle which has some of the most beautiful woman on the planet......and they're EVERYWHERE.

Cool Ron

He's at Atsugi now. Been there almost 7 yrs..

He's really looking forwaed to being back in the States,.

Although,

He'll be in a Expeditionary thingy which he said means Afghanistan or such. His mom (Nurse Terrie) aint to excited about that.

He is still single. He dated a few Japnese broads but doesn't really care much for them

The entire Navy and Marine Corp are an expeditionary force........Really doesn't matter where you're stationed.The needs of the Navy will always come first as it should.

As for the Japanese broads.....yep their koochies were too hairy for me as well.Of course you just never know til the wooly mammoth has revealed itself.
