Comment by Storymom on April 29, 2012 at 6:50pm Welcome Kurtmans: BC will seem like' time' has slowed down for you at first, but before you know it....it will be PIR-graduation and you can go and see the awesome ceremony! Be sure to hook into the Boot Camp or New Navy Moms support groups here on this website-there are several-LOTS of support &info, (He can take his cellphone with him, all the way to Great Lakes (my son texted me during layovers- it was nice)..then it and all his civies will be put in a box & shipped to you-kinda sad but all good too :) My son has never regretted his decision to join the NAVY, 4 years ago, & now he's seeing the World! (he says everybody hates boot-but for him it's just a distant memory as other adventures and experiences all make it worth while) Get ready to write lots of letters!
Comment by Kurtmansmom on April 29, 2012 at 6:22pm My son graduates May 27 from high school . I'm going to hand out blue candles to everyone at his party to light and pray for my son. He leaves for bc June 13. This was a awesome ideal. So blessed to be part of Navy for moms
Comment by Chris, Forever Ray's Proud Mom on April 22, 2012 at 10:53am NM*II how very nice of you to do that..I know it meant a lot to her, and will only help u grow closer.
Comment by NM*Il on April 22, 2012 at 10:37am It is nice...I gave a set that I made to my sons girlfriend...it is REALLY hard for her...they have been dating for 3 years and she is sweet as can be......
Comment by Michele on April 21, 2012 at 7:35pm What a great idea! My son is stationed in Hawaii and have not seen him since early Dec. and they have been deployed couple times already which makes it even harder to communicate with him! He has only been out of BC since Nov. and his first station is so far...we're on the east coast! I find I need these little connections when not able to talk to him via email or phone. Thanks for a great idea :)
This is a brilliant idea....sometimes, it flickers and I think that it's my daughter saying, "Momma - I'm doing just fine!"! Thank you for this!
