News from the Parley P. Johnson, Jr. family

Parley Philip Johnson, Jr., son of Parley Philip and Christine Fail Johnson (Uncle Philip and Aunt Christine), had much to share with us recently about this active military family. Parley and wife Callie Gail Pickeron Johnson have two sons, Parley Philip, III and Luke McIntyre, and one daughter, Callie Elizabeth. Parley writes,

Parley Philip III (CPL USMC) is coming home for a few days leave from 11 June - 1 July. I am to pick him up in Atlanta, GA at the airport.. He just completed his Associate of Arts Degree thru night school with the University of Central Texas. Parley III is scheduled to redeploy to IRAQ in August.

Luke McIntyre (CPL USMC) is in the Philippine Islands on temporary duty assignment thru Sept this year. He is scheduled to rotate back to the continental US mainland in February 2009 (next year) after he completes his 2 year tour of duty with the 12th Marines in Okinawa Japan.

Both of my Marines are doing great.

Our daughter Callie Elizabeth and grandson Kaden are scheduled to come home in August this year while our son-in-law Joey Graham (CPL USMC) is deployed for a 7 month cruise with the NAVY. Callie Elizabeth is actively seeking education & employment in the medical field. Presently she is working at the Onslow County Hospital in Jacksonville, NC as a Medical Technician ( patient transporter).

My wife, Callie Gail and I are working full time jobs and spending our free time fixin up our little 13 acre patch down here on US Highway 331 in NW Florida.

The US ARMY has granted an opportunity for early retirement from civil service here at Ft. Rucker. If approved, I plan to retire on 30 Sept 2008.


Parley and Callie Gail, you must be very proud of your children! We send you best wishes for your well-deserved retirement. And we will be praying for all your family as they serve our country with honor and distinction. We look forward to seeing you all at the Family Reunion on August 16. Meantime, Extended Johnson Family, please send your thoughts and prayers to Parley and Callie Gail at parleypjr(at)aol(dot)com!
