Gayle, thank you for the link to the pictures posted by the Navy4Dads. I was able to see Richard in a couple of the band pictures. He is in Pensacola now. He is in "holding" until he is able to start school. He really likes it there though. It is nice that he has one of his friends from GL there with him. How is Eric doing?
I must say this site has been so great for me. I find out information sometimes before he does. I love it! I was able to find a group that is for mom's of sailors in his field in Pensacola. It has been very helpful.
I hope you are all doing well. And god bless to all of you and your sailors!

Just wishin' everyone a Happy Father's Day! I'm certain many are busy with family duties today...our daughter flew in the morning from Austin and her and her other brother, Josh are running around this afternoon and due here in an hour or so. So, get to see her a second weekend in a row! Only wishin' Boo could be here to celebrate with us too! But, glad for the time last weekend with him. He called his dad this morning!

Oh yea...I know earlier I said I wasn't sick, well since I hardly see hubby during the week, come to find out he's been fighting a head cold since wednesday, and so has my dad...blamin' it on the "lovely" Chicago weather last weekend! They both sound terrible..hardly any voice!! Knock-on-wood, I'm ok!!

RNdeb,
I am sorry but I don't have photos of that part of the ceremony. I wish you well finding a picture of it. Maybe one of the ones on here will have it.

Hi everyone,

I finally have a moment to exhale and just say hello. :)

Hey Alicia,
I love the picture you posted of Jesse receiving his honor. I know it had to be such a very special time. You were talking about the Admiral and Commander and I have to say that I have never met an Admiral, that I know of, but I did meet the Captain of my husbands ship when he was in the Navy. I was an ombudsman, liaison between families and Navy, and we were invited to attend dinner on the ship with the Captain before the ship deployed. It too was an honor for us. The Captain was very kind and I felt at ease when talking with him. He gave us permission to say what was on our minds, with all due respect of course, and never made me feel uncomfortable. I think that is one of the things that I admire most about the Navy. They really do care for the families and this website is proof of it. I am so thankful and I know you are too.

* I am boring people to tears with my little photo album of PIR but I can't help it. :)

Hi Everyone....my son graduated this past Friday 6/19...but he was a member of the honor division so he actually participated in the 6/12 graduation..he was the honor guard RPOC who addresses the admiral (carrying the cutlass)...unfortunately he was not picked to do his own graduation ceremony so we did not get a chance to see him...so my question is does anyone have a dvd of the ceremony that they could copy and send to us?? we would be happy to pay for it and shipping, etc...also a copy of the graduation program?? it would mean alot to our family and to our son if we could obtain a copy of this graduation dvd....please contact me...thank you!

Hi u all, Talk about pics. I was so nervous that I did even take hardly any. I felt like a kid in front of a candy store for the first time. Stood staring with my mouth open. Could not even talk. It was like I keep asking him the same thing. "How are you ". Then the weekend went so fast. I got to spend all of friday & saturday mornning with him, then I took him to his dads hotel, so he could spend time with his dad. My son stayed at Great Lakes so he got liberty all weekend. Know we can txt and talk a few week nights. Tuesday is his birthday, he will be 20 years old. Happy Birthday son! Love ya Ladies God Bless And Happy Fathers Day to all you Dads

Hi All,
We had a wonderful time at Graduation and the Meet & Greet. I have enjoyed talking with everyone about their sons/daughters and their BC experience.

Kelly is enjoying CT...he said the food was amazing! We didn't get to visit with him after PIR since he was a Grad & Go...but we did get to meet him at the airport and spend about 6 hours with him there. There were 11 of them heading to Groton, and they were so much fun!!! They can now laugh at everything they went through. So far we can text Kelly and can talk some in the evenings. He said it was so nice there...around 70 degrees, versus our 96 degrees right now.

I am in the same boat as everyone else. My pictures are lacking! I was so nervous many are blurred.

Jesse just said he ordered the DVD and it will be sent here. Hopefully we will have some good pictures of his division and hopefully some that he is in! I was so upset with him the day of PIR...he had to go and check out of BC and go to the base to check into A School so after the meet and greet with the Navy Officials he needed to get going...I said we needed pictures taken, he said later so I told him to stay in the dress white...well, he changed into the other uniform so I have no pictures with us together when he was in the whites....I gave him big time heck about that!!!
