Hey Kev!

Just read the journal.. week 1 sounds like it was a good time, pretty much as Todd described anyway. Just think one down and only 6 to go.. it's flying by! We're all thinking of you and missing you lots!!! I posted your address on your FB page so your friends would know where to write. You're not missing much at all so no worries, the Red Sox are off to a pretty poor start at 3and 6, but on the bright side so are the Yankees at 5 and 4! Hang in there.. love you lots!!

Your other favorite Big Sis, Lorie xoxo

Quick update for you from home.. Red Sox just beat the Yankees (5-4)in extra innings with a walkoff home run from Yoouuukkk in their

Hope you are getting our letters, we just got your first one last week. Hang in there and stay focused and strong. We are pulling for you. By the way, razor clamming was great last weekend, thinking of you while I was eating them!

Hi Kevin G. 5/7/09

It"s great to receive your letters. Each week we look forward to receiving them. After we read the journal for the past week we hope you are still hanging in there. It sounds like they keep you busy with little down time. Go Lima 181. We all miss you and are looking forward to graduation day. We really can not tell from the pictures on the Blog which if any are you. But we are all looking forward to seeing you with a shaved head. Everything is good at home. But the house seems empty without you. I guess I have to get use to that from now on. Matt and Dad send their love. Dad loves reading the journals and sends them to uncle Richie (The X Marine). Dad is really proud of you as are all your brothers and sisters. Love you lots. MOM

W Kathy G said...

Hey Isaiah,
So good to hear your voice and to have you call me sir. That was different :) Just want you to know how very proud of you we are and that we can't wait to see you in that full dress uniform so neatly pressed and shined. I know you have stepped up to be a great team member and can't wait to see the guns in top shape. Love you son. Keep making yourself proud. We have always been! Dad

dangerdan said...

Hey Lima 181 family. Does anyone know the length of the first duty? Our son is headed to Honolulu and Guam but didn't get to ask him for how long. I will look for comments if anyone knows. Thanx!

pacssoccer12 said...

RANDI & JIM

Chris's Mom said...

Dan, my son SR Gibson graduated on 3/27/2009 and his first assignment is to the Cutter CGC Washington in Guam he left on 4/3/2009. His tour of duty is 2 years. I am not sure if that is the length of the assignment for all recruites. My best wishes to your son and Lima 181.

dangerdan said...

to Chris's Mom,
Thanx for the info. Sounds like Isaiah may be there long enough for us to make a trip to the middle of nowhere to see him :) Preferably on Honolulu for shore leave would be even better but Guam will do. What is your son doing on the USCGC Washington? Our son is a diver so he pulled the bouy tender duty but hopes to go to diving school in Florida as soon as he can, which may shorten his stay on the Sequoia. All very exciting though! Thanx again. Dan

wizard of oz said...

Hey Boo how are you doing? So where did you get assigned to?And how did you do in pugil stick fighting? So my lil sharp shooter a few more weeks to go, I hope it flew by for you. I cant wait to here back from you. ALL MY Love, MOMMY~

wizard of oz said...

She deserves it all...

When she stares at your mouth
[ Kiss her ]

When she pushes you or hits you like a dumb ass cuz she thinks shes stronger than you
[ Grab her and dont let go ]

When she starts cursing at you tryin to act all tuff
[ Kiss her and tell her you love her ]

When she's quiet
[ Ask her whats wrong ]

When she ignores you
[ Give her your attention ]

When she pulls away
[ Pull her back ]

When you see her at her worst
[ Tell her she's beautiful ]

WHen you see her start crying
[Just hold her and dont say a word ]

When you see her walking
[ Sneak up and hug her waist from behind ]

When she's scared
[ Protect her ]

When she steals your favorite hat
[ Let her keep it and sleep with it for a night ]

When she teases you
[ Tease her back and make her laugh ]

When she doesn't answer for a long time
[ reassure her that everything is okay ]

When she looks at you with doubt
[ Back yourself up ]

When she says that she likes you
[she really does more than you can understand]

When she grabs at your hands
[ Hold her's and play with her fingers ]

When she bumps into you;
[ bump into her back and make her laugh ]

When she tells you a secret
[ keep it safe and untold ]

When she looks at you in your eyes
[ dont look away until she does ]

When she says it's over
[ she still wants you to be hers ]


When she reposts this bulletin
[ she wants you to read it ]


- Stay on the phone with her even if she's not saying anything



- When she's mad hug her tight and don't let go


- When she says she's ok dont believe it, talk with her because 10 yrs later she'll remember you


- Call her at 12:00am on her birthday to tell her you love her

-Treat her like she's all that matters to you.

- Stay up all night with her when she's sick.

- Watch her favorite movie with her or her favorite show even if you think it's stupid

- Give her the world.
- Let her wear your clothes

-When she's bored and sad, hang out with her

- Let her know she's important.

- Don't talk about other girls around her

- Kiss her in the pouring rain

- When she runs up to you crying, the first thing you say is;
"Whose ass am I kicking baby?"


I though this was sweet, Just wanted you to have something to more read. Do belive that Scott sent this to me. Love you .. Mommy

Mother And Daughter...


Mother and daughter,
Are very close,
They are best friends,
And can be enemys sometimes,
They laugh and cry,
Call each other names,
And mess around,
And there still as close as ever,
Nothing will ruin their mother and daughter relationship,
Not even boys,
They may keep secrets,
From one another, but there still there,
to care and help,
their still mother and daughter.

Uncle Kevin--Hi. We miss you. We saw Woverine and the X men at the movies, it was really cool. I am doing really good in baseball. I hit a centerfield homerun on Tues. Mack is getting really good with the 2 -wheeler and can now catch the ball in his mitt most of the time. We had a big party for Alyssa, we wished you were there to push us on the tire swing. See you in a few weeks. Red Sox Stink-Go Yankess. Brock

Mom told me about your phone calls and your bout with pneumonia.. hope you're feeling better! We're all so excited to come down next week and can't wait to see you. Can you believe this journey is almost over??!! You did it baby bro and we're so proud of you. You'll have quite the cheering section at graduation, it will be hard to keep that smile off your face... if they give you a hard time just remember what Brock said to say.. "I can't help it, I'm insane.. ;)" Love you and see you soon!!!!
