Hey, Sweet Pea. Thought I'd embarrass you by letting strangers read my note of encouragement. At this stage in your training I think you should hang back and let the weaker ones get out in front to be cut down so you come in for a strong finish. Remember: Eagles may soar in the clouds, but weasels never get sucked into jet engines. I hope this is inspiring. You're my hero, Lee. Love, Your Favorite Aunt Laurie.

Welcome aboard little brother. I'm so very proud of you. I'm sure you have heard it by now but just remember the days are long, but the weeks fly by.

Joan Ranaghan said...

Hi, Emily:
It’s been a while since I’ve seen or heard from you, but I’d like to think that we still have that marvelous connection that goes with being a member of a family. I cannot say how proud I am of you and how much I care about you and the direction your life is going in. You are such a wise and courageous young woman to have made your choice of a military career. I strongly encourage you to be hopeful, dedicated, and sincere in your choice of careers, as I am sure you will be.
I recently took some photos out of “storage” and found one of my mother and you – at her 90th birthday party. I wonder if you might like to have it. Mom loved all of her (great) grandchildren so much, and thought of all of you quite often.
I wish I could be there for your graduation but can’t.
Please know that I love you very much and wish only the best for you.
Aunt Joan

I am personally very proud of the decisions you have made since high school graduation and the challenge you have accepted to make a difference not only in your life but the many others you will come across while serving. It may seem tough now but every day gets easier. Focus and have FAITH!!! I don't say it much because we Navy Sailors don't get emotional but I Love my favorite niece.

SR HORN and J-192,

Now is the time to dig deep and push! Three more weeks and you will be off to your assignments! Remember to push and yet take care of each other! For three more weeks, you are a family with the CC's at the head. So keep this family together, work as a team, and remember ...you can do ANYTHING for three weeks. The classes are becoming more interesting and so are the physical challenges. I hope you have your colors by now and can sing cadence on base! THat should really boost your spirits!
All of us who love you can't wait for Nov. 6!
Love, Mom, Dad, Rikki,Grammy and Grandad
