yep safe and sound back in Okinawa
The training exercise miss Erica was on in Thailand was called Cobra Gold 2011 .. found many pics on line, it was a joint training with the Japanese, Thailand and US Marines all working together. Although none of these pictures have Erica's unit .. they were involved and miss Erica was their site chief. As I find any good pics I'll add them ....

Thailand February Operation
"well" I did get a phone call that she made it to Thailand safe and sound and was off to work first thing.. she sounded really good. Her Marine friend Rita is in our neck of the woods so, my friend Kim and I picked her up at the airport.. went back down to Oceanside CA this week to have dinner with her.. was real nice but short.. I know she's missing home. Rita is from America - Samoa, its little island in the South Pacific and is part of the Samoan Islands chain, located west of the Cook Islands, it is a US territory. Guess its very green there and humid about seven hours to Hawaii Rita said.
well, miss Erica is well and was able to get a little R&R time so they went to the Korat Zoo. No pictures yet but you know me, I research.. so I found some pictures on line. Hope to hear from her soon.
info on where she's near .. 'X' marks the spot .. lol

well I've been busy lol
will and erica.. will came to pendleton also because he's getting out .. erica katie and rita at rita and will's send off
Sorry between sick and working and tired and doing odds and ends for my kids.. I just haven't had time. Miss Erica is on another meu .. but more on that at another time when I can fill you in.
Went to San Diego on Saturday to pick up Erica's best friend from the Marines from Okinawa .. Rita has been there two years and has been changed to Pendleton.. really not that far from us .. so Erica asked if I would pick her up, especially since its her first time to the western states.
Rita is a sweet girl and I easily see why her and miss Erica got along so well. She actually is a couple months younger than erica but has been in the Marines since she was seventeen. She was only with us about twenty four hours and was calling me mom by the time we got her to base to check in.
They gave her no time to acclimate herself to the time change.. I couldn't believe that one. Erica said "yep .. thats how it is." more to come :)
