Hey i'm hoping to connect with any mothers who are in the Navy and will be deploying. I leave for my first deployment in March and I'll be leaving behind my 9 month old. I guess I'm just looking for some support or advice?

Hello ladies, did you all quit the group? I hope all is well with you and your sailors/families. Looking forward to chatting again.

Hello ladies. How is everyone and their families doing. We have seen our sailor three times since i was last here. Just enjoying him and feeling bad when he has to go back. We take what we can get, but it still hurts. I hope you all are doing good. Have a great evening. Oh yes the ship is so big, we saw it up close at night- I pray for all of us.

Thanx Pat,
I guess they can re enlist early. Yah he is only 20. The Stennis is his Subs sister carrier. His Sub is in dry dock for 2 1/2 yrs so he has to catch a ride on other subs to get his Sea Quals done. One of my friends Grand daughter just was on the Stennis. I'm very proud of AJ and all our Sailors. He is my middle child between 2 sisters.

Anita, I am confused, If you graduated HS in 07, and signed on for 6 yrs. how come he has a re enlistment ceremony in Jan 2010?? Jenn had to join for 5, and she has to re enlist at the end of 2010 her anniversary is Jan 11. Is that because of the time in the DEP program?? Cool, so he is re enlisting at a very young age. I am proud of him. We will see if Jenn gets to re enlist, when her medical condition is unknow so far. Her last deployment ship was out of Bremerton, the Stennis. You must be very proud.

Pat, he is in Bremerton/Bangor WA. He has only been in since July 07. AJ is a Nuke and he first had to enlist for 6 yrs. As far as I know he plans on being a lifer. When he graduated from High School in 07, he had been in the DEP program and on the back of his gown he wrote NAVY 4 Life. His recruiters saw it because it was in our local Newspaper.

Hey Anita, that is great news, and he will be so pleased if you can make his reenlistment ceremony. That is a big deal. Where will that take place, I don't remember where he is. How many years has he been in 4 or 5?? The time will be here before you know it. Have fun

My Husband and I will try to go see AJ in Jan or Feb. His re-enlistment ceremony is suppose to be in Jan. We want to try to make it. Thanx Ladies for keeping your fingers Xed.

Thanks Brenda, we need all we can get. They have decided that she is not deployable for this next year, so that set her back some, she wanted to get her surface warfare out of the way, and is dissappointed that won't happen this year. A retired Master Chief friend of her uncles, gave her his pin, which is a big deal, to have pinned on her when she got it, and now that won't happen, and she is sad. Maybe later, if and when they ever decide what is wrong. I pray for all our deployed sailors, and hope that they find strength through the holidays, away from home and their loved ones.
