Andy.. Oh, Andy's Luck

So, as I stated in the previous post Andy was able to come home last weekend!! When he returned back to his ship on Sunday night (6:30 ish), he went to his rm. (He has his own rm right now ~ No Roomies!!) When he got there all of his bedding and pillows were thrown on the floor. Weird.. but ok. So Andy found out that when he leaves his rm he is allowed to shut his door and lock it. So, when he went to the head (toilet) he did just that. When he got back to his rm, he found out that his key to his room does not work. Yeah, he's LOCKED OUT! So he has to sit around in what he was wearing ~ Pt Shorts (like Umbro's), a white t-shirt, dress socks and dress shoes. HOT!! I know!! (I was wondering why he even went to the bathroom looking like this!!) Anyway, so he has to WAIT for someone to come and let him in. Turns out, the Master Key for that rm doesn't work either!! Uh-OH! So Andy had to borrow someone Else's PT Sweats and sweatshirt and wear those. He also had to sleep somewhere else b/c they couldn't get him in there last night. They said he would have to wait for maintenance to come in today. SO Andy calls this am and they still have not let him into his rm!! Last night, he was supposed to be shadowing watches in his dress blues and was supposed to have a personal inspection this am. Hehe kinda hard to do that looking like a SLOB! So anyway, this morning Andy couldn't go to his Indoc training (outfit) or go to breakfast (outfit, lack of layers.. VERY COLD, no cover) So he was a little agitated. Then, the person in the office let Andy know that they "sent an e-mail" to someone to let them know he needed to get into his rm. Andy was SO thrilled that they would send an e-mail and care SO much THAT HE HAS BEEN LOCKED OUT of his ROOM!! So he went back to his room and used one of his cards to break into the rm. He also decided that he better fix the door so they don't try to move his rm. He likes not having any roomies. He said NUMEROUS ppl tried to break in and wrecked their debit cards etc.. but I guess he thought he may as well give it a try while the e-mail was sitting in someones trash bin :) So he had to go to his Indoc class with only an hour left. They actually wanted to send him back to the beginning of INDOC ~ that's like ~ a week long (2 day was his last day!) !! He convinced them to let him go and take the test (told them he studied for it all weekend ~ I'da liked to have seen his nose growing when he said that! Anyway.. he took the test, got 100% and is now able to go in and out of his room :) .. Hulings luck I tell ya!

He went to the head in his dress shoes, dress socks and underware? Who taught him this stuff. It had to be Dan.

So glad you will soon have him home. He needs you!!

Those Hulings kids!!!! Where did they learn to use a 'credit card' as a 'key'?? Must have learned that from their DAD! (....because you KNOW their mom would never do anything like THAT!) :-) (OK..the truth is... I've tried it, but NEVER got it to work for me)

Way to go Andy!!!
