Another letter from my son John this week who is currently in Boot Camp with the Navy

I got another letter from my son John this week who is currently in Boot Camp with the Navy. Letter below.

"I got really sick on Monday the 16th and ended up having to go to medical. I had a temp of 101.6. If your temp is above 100.8 they make you SIQ " Sick In Quarters". I was SIQ on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, the 16th, 17th, and 18th. I was vomiting about 6 or 7 times a day, and I lost my voice. I am feeling Great now ( August 22nd ) though, so don't worry. When I was sick I really missed home. It would have been nice being in my own bed watching TV and eating soup.

Vicki your letter really helped me when I was feeling sick. No they don't check the mail except for pictures. I am learning allot of cool stuff like how to use a 9mm and a Shotgun. Since I was SIQ I wont do the real guns until Monday the 23rd. I can't tell you if there are things I can't tell you. LOL

Hea, send me some song lyrics! I like reading the. The full " Come Sail Away by Styx and some other GOOD SONGS. NO ABBA SHIT!! :)

Tell Mable and Ruel, Joan, Doris, Gram and Pop, Cindy, Mike and on Facebook Alex and Adam that I said hi. And anyone that I couldn't think of.

I don't have allot of time to write since I was SIQ for 3 days. I have allot to catch up on as far as studying goes. This will be the only letter I write this week. Hope everyone is doing good.

Love, John"

Power outage in SF's Soma district takes many websites offline

6 back-to-back power outages hit the SOMA neighborhood of San Francisco Tuesday afternoon causing major havoc with popular web services. 365 Main data center is down, along with craigslist, Netflix, Technorati , SixApart, TypePad, LiveJournal and parts of ZDNet. These datacenters are supposed to have redundant power sources, so it may not be the entire story.

Share your iTunes with SimplifyMedia

If you've ever wanted to listen to your iTunes away from home, or share your music library between your friends, now you can. SimplifyMedia is a plugin for iTunes (both PC and Mac) which allows limited sharing and encrypted streaming across several computers. I have been using it for a week and have been very happy with it. The only requirement is that you both have SimplifyMedia and iTunes installed.

Navy Boot Camp ( another letter home from my son ) and a Call from my Daughter in the Navy

I just got the mail and got another letter from my son that is in Navy Boot Camp. Here is the rest of his schedule. He Graduates August 10th. :)

He says " don't send newspapers" but if you see anything interesting in the news you can quote it. Can you tell me what else is going on in the world? What's on CNN? Top Stories?

The weather here is nice. It's in the 80s. Most of the people here say it is too hot. They use "heat conditions" which is like a heat warning system. When it gets to heat conditions ( which is like 85 degrees ) we are not allow to double time outside.

This week was mainly marching and PT. We are going to play a joke on one of the Petty Officers ( It was the Chiefs idea ) and instead of the AROC ( assignment recruit petty officer ) Singing the normal 123... 2341 412 3 crap he's going to do one to the tone of Johnny Comes Marching Home 1234 your 1 your 1 your 1234. It's pretty fast and we have to stay in step with it. It's 3s are left foot and 2s and 4s are right foot. We had a 12 min run on Friday, I helped people with getting their breathing under control. I am pretty good at the now. Our Division still sucks on counter marching, mainly because "starboard watch" is an idiot and can't figure out when he is supposed to stop... And the flag holders take tiny steps because they are all really short. A counter march turns the Division around.

Navy Boot Camp ( Call Home )

My Son John ( before boot camp ) currently in Boot Camp going to be an Operations Specialist ( OS ) Graduates August 10th, 07

My Daughter Cindy ( FCSA USN ) in her A School for AECF FC

My son John just called from Navy Boot Camp and we talked for 30min. It was great hearing from him. He said that he is doing well and will graduate Aug 10, 2007. When I asked how boot camp was going he said that it was hard but going good and definitely worth it. I am very proud of both of my children that are serving in the United States Navy. My daughter Cindy is in her A school and is also doing well and loves it. We are very proud of them.

Navy Boot Camp ( Third letter home )

We got another letter today and my son John asked me to post this part. This letter should have been the second but it got lost in the mail.

I've had allot on my mind and have been very busy. I stood watch again and two Petty Officers checked in and started inspecting me. They asked me to tell them the 5th and 11th General Orders, which was not hard then they checked my socks, pants, and shirt to see if everything was perfect. The only thing that was wrong was one button which was not buttoned yet because I had just started The Watch and didn't get a chance to button the last button before they came.

Shots Suck, I've lost count of how many I've had now. Only two more to go. Write me every day or even more. I love getting letters and they are really helping me get through this.

Navy Boot Camp ( Second letter home)

UPDATE... My son John is out of Boot Camp and has his own Blog here http://navygeek.blogspot.com/ I still post allot about what he is up to but he also does quite a bit.

My son is in Boot camp with the Navy and asked me to post this for his friends and family to read. This is his second letter home.

Hi Dad and Vicki,
I am going to write this letter one day at a time.

Monday,
We marched to the other side of RTC in order to fill out some paperwork on insurance / taxes and get our ID's. I picked you and Vicki for the $400,000 insurance if I die ( Which will never happen ) Then we had to march all the way back ( about 7 or 8 miles total ) The Petty Officer told us we were impressive. From there we went to lunch then back to our rooms where we practiced making beds, we have 12 minutes to make our bed perfect, which is not easy, but I can get it done in about 10 minutes and use the rest of the time for anything and make it look better. We then had to go to the room across the hall with our sister division ( division 260 I think ) and the ships officer LT. Summa (sp) made us official divisions. For the marching I wanted to hold one of the flags, but I am too tall. They want the short people in the front and the tall people in the back and flags are the front two rows. Anyway after the thing in the other room we went to dinner, did a fire drill, made our beds some more and then did intensive training ( exercise ) where they go until someone need to go to medical but this time after one guy passed out they kept going. Don't worry I made it through. After that we took showers, got mail and went to bed. We get mail every day. Any info you have about Battle Stations would be great. Wish I could see pictures of you guys and stuff. We are not suppose to talk to each other most of the time but we do anyway and then have to do intensive training because of it. But Yeah I made friends here. I think the division is about 80 people today but will go to 77 tomorrow. How's the weather?

Tuesday
We got up around 7 or 8am and ate breakfast then went to the pool to take the swim test. I passed it. We had to jump off a ten foot platform and swim to the far side of the pool using one of four different strokes. I ended up just using the one where your on your back, it's more relaxing. Then we had to do a thing where we used coveralls under the water ( while wearing them ) which means your head has to go under too then bring the arm up out of the water 3 times, this brings air into the coveralls which you use to float, then we had to do a dead mans float where you take a breath and hold it then put your face in the water and just float for 1 minute. Your allow to bring your face up to breath from time to time. After that we went to a speech which was suppose to be done by the Captain of RTC, but she was not there so a Commander did it instead. From there we went to dinner and came back to our rooms to clean and learn to do the Watch Logs correctly. I then helped with Laundry. I pass it out and clean it. I have also removed stains from peoples shirts for them ( ink stains, we stamp a lot of stuff) We have a stain remover that's made for putting on the stain right before you wash the clothing, but I figured out a way to use it without using a washer. I just put the stuff on the stain then rub it in and let it sit for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes I use cold water and rinse the stuff out while rubbing out the stain. This worked with dry ink stains and a tomato sauce stain so far.

When you write me letters write down everything that happens, it gives me something to read. I expect 20 letters a day :) Oh by the way, you know that rope thing that divides the pool that has round floats on it. There are 386 of those floats on the rope in the pool here, that should give you some idea of the pool size. Oh yeah, we lost two people from our division and gained one from another division. Another thing, if you see anything that I will care about in the newspaper cut the article out and send it with the letters you write. That will give me more to read. Crap, I keep forgetting things, before the Commanders Speech we watched a video about the Navy and it had ""Come Sail Away"" by STYX playing through the whole thing which I really enjoyed.

Wednesday
I actually don't remember what happened Wednesday. I think that was the day we made our beds a bunch of time and got yelled at...

Thursday
We did the first Fitness test . I did
47 push-ups
71 Sit-ups
Ran 1.5 miles in 12:04
then we did inspection practice.

Friday
We did a 5 mile run in the morning, from there we went to breakfast. We had guest at our meals they included Senor Chiefs, Chiefs, Master Chiefs, a few Sergeants from the Marines and a few First Sergeants from the Air Force sitting right around me. They were all really nice and talked about when they were in boot camp 20+ years ago. Lunch and dinner was more of the same.

Saturday
We did B.A.S.E.S. or ( Balance Agility Strength Explosion and Stamina ) is a weekly exercise routine which incorpoarates shipboard required skills with aerobic and strength training.
That includes a bunch of different things, like pull-ups, pulling a 200lb bag on a rope with a team of 6. Jump rope, running, push-ups, and so on. From there we went back to our room to prepare for inspection. I passed the fake inspection. I also went to Medical on Saturday because I have a cold and I wanted to get a "Cold Pack", It has pain killers, stuff for stuffy nose and cough drops. Besides having a cold I feel pretty good.

The Division is down to 77 people, we lost a bunch and gained 4 from other Divisions. Most of the people left for medical reasons. Our Oldest person is 28 years old now. We did have a 33 yo but something happened to him, people are saying they heard he has a Stroke, but I am not really sure. All I know is he couldn't read anymore and kept yelling in Korean in his sleep.

Well, we have inspection tomorrow so I am going to do laundry, remove stains, shine my shoes, and clean up my locker.

Please write more!

Love you both, John

Oh yeah, I had to stand watch from 4-6am this morning ( Sunday). Some idiot decided they wanted to sneak in food from dinner and and other guy on watch and I discovered the food on the guys bed so we had to report it " to report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce" I think that person may get kicked out. Not sure yet. ( Update: He didn't get kicked out. In fact allot of the guys had food in their bunks and this guy took the fall for all of them. He is in "A" School now with my son and doing great... ) ( Update Sept 6, 2007 That guy Graduated "A" School last Friday and left today for his next assignment )

I have to get ready for inspection now.

UPDATE: Allot of people come to this Post from Google search looking for information about Navy Boot Camp. If you click on "Navy" in the Labels section below this post you can read all his letters home" We'll you should be able too anyway but Blogger does not do this well yet. You can also go to the Archives on the right side of this page and start with June. Or you can just click here to see the first letter home. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. You can either leave a comment on any post, or sign the guestbook ( there is a link to it on the right side of the page ) . If you don't want your message public just mark the guestbook entry as Private. You can also e-mail me at Kansasdad@gmail.com I will respond to all comments. When you are done go to the main Blog page here and you can see where he and his sister Cindy are now. They are both doing well and love the Navy.

You also might want to look at these two videos that I posted earlier that show some of what they do in Boot camp with the Navy.

The cemeteries here in Chanute did not flood.

Water over K-39 Highway east of Chanute as flood water rips over the highway.

Lindley asked me if the cemeteries here in Chanute got flooded and the answer is no they did not. Happy 4th everyone. We are now under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 10pm. I think we have had enough rain for a while. :)


"Extremely heavy rainfall from the end of June into early July caused flash flooding throughout Neosho County. The flash flooding and the ensuing river flooding resulted in roughly 100 homes being destroyed and another 50 sustaining major damage. This resulted in at least 10.5 million dollars in damages. An additional 1.5 million dollars in damage was reported public infrastructure. The Neosho River reached a record crest of 40.6 feet on the morning of July 2nd. This was 11.6 feet above flood stage. Major flooding was seen on the Neosho at Chanute when a crest of 36.82 feet was recorded on the morning of July 1st. The Neosho inundated the city of Chanute with some areas under as much as 7 to 8 feet of water. The river remained above flood stage at Chanute until July 4th and at Erie until July 5th.An upper level low pressure system and associated frontal boundary stalled across the area for several days, resulting in periods of numerous and widespread heavy showers and thunderstorms across portions of south-central and southeast Kansas from early on the 27th until July 1st. Phenomenal rainfall totals occurred during this period, ranging anywhere from 8 inches, to as much as 20 inches, heaviest across southeast Kansas. A few the most extreme and measured rainfall reports from June 28th - 30th were 18.29 inches at Fredonia, 12.47 inches at Independence, 11.70 inches at Iola, 9.18 inches at Chanute, 8.63 inches at Erie and 8.40 inches at Coffeyville. Excessive runoff produced widespread, catastrophic, record flooding across much of southeast Kansas, particularly in the vicinity of area rivers, streams and creeks. Hardest hit were the Verdigris and Fall Rivers, where record flooding was observed at Fall River, Independence and Coffeyville. The Neosho River was also hard hit with record flooding observed at Erie and major flooding observed at Chanute, Parsons and Oswego. Public, private and crop damage was extensive and at times severe. Hundreds to potentially a few thousand homes and businesses sustained severe flood damage, an incalculable number of roads were closed due to high water, and several bridges were either washed out or sustained damage. Thousands of acres of crops sustained severe damage. Thousands of miles of roads were damaged from the flood waters. Evacuations and water rescues were common, as several towns were for a time surrounded and/or engulfed by flood waters. Water became unsafe, as flood waters inundated water and sewage treatment plants. Thousands of residents were without power for an extended period of time. Several counties were declared federal disaster areas. Public and private damages likely exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars, but exact monetary values will be difficult to nearly impossible to determine. The flooding in Coffeyville enveloped the Coffeyville Resources Refinery. A malfunctioning pump lead to a 71,000 gallon crude oil spill into the Verdigris River, leaving an oily gunk on everything the oil touched, and contaminating the water for miles. One fatality occurred in Coffeyville, when a gentleman refused to evacuate his motel room, despite being warned twice by emergency officials of the impending flood."
