Laura, my son Josh is on the Essex and has been there for almost three years. He loves it and I am getting used to his being gone. It has kind of prepared me to deal with what will happen for Daniel when he gets to his first duty station. Josh is an RP (religious program specialist) what does Grant do?

carol-yes we will be leaving sunday and driving up there! thanksgiving will be different this year with us eating out but that works for me! we live pretty close to the airfield gate!
that is awesome that he gets to come home for christmas-i do beleive my son said he might be able to also-which would be awesome! after being a army wife (husband is now medically retired and contractor on post) being a navy mom is going to be different learning their lingo.i asked my husband last night if they had a book for dummies on it :)

Jamie - I'm near Ft Hood too! (we live outside Harker Heights). Will you be going to your son's PIR next week? What a wonderful way to spend Thanksgiving! My son's on the Stennis carrier out of Washington. He won't make it for Thanksgiving - but will be coming home to TX for the Christmas Holidays! :)

Ha Ha Tammy (Division 232) ... you've obviously never been to Kingsville. Not much there. Might be better off looking for Corpus Christi moms. :)

Hi Jamie, my son PIR was 8/14/09 and its not until they are in A school where they get to pick where they want to go they let them chose and they rate which place they want to go in order then in about 2 weeks after that depending on where he wants to go he should know. My son came home from A school on 10/19/09 and left 11/6/09 for Sasebo, Japan he is apart of the USS Essex. His ship was allready out on sea when he arrived so after his long flights and 2 days of rest they flew him on his ship to be apart of the ship. Its been a week since I have heard from him but as we know since boot camp no news is good news.

Hi, I am a North Carolina mom. My son will be heading to Kingsville Texas after Thanksgiving. I would love to meet someone from the Kingsville area.
