Profile Information
- About me:
- I'm a 39 y/o single mother of 4. My next to the oldest sod, Ed, was just activated & shipped out into boot camp as of Tues. The 7th of July . It's been hard after 18 years to just let him make this decision to join the Navy. I know that he has his head on straight, as he is a very intelligent young man. As for myself, I still have 2 youngsters @ home, and am eager to hear from my Ed & his progress~
- I am here to support or represent my:
- Son/Daughter
- Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
- Enlisted
- When I heard “Navy,” I:
- Was concerned or afraid
- From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
- That He is Not as likely to be instantly shipped into Iran/Iraq like I thought~
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

You're very welcome. I just went through this last year myself. Boot Camp is pretty scary for us moms. The not knowing how our baby is doing.
It will get easier for you each day. By the time you receive the gradaution (PIR) package, you're at the half way point ( 4 th week)
I can't beleive it's a year already since I was in Chicago. That flew by. I was so hoping to get tickets for the Steve Wilkos TV show. I love that guy!! HAAH! Unfortuanately, it goes on vocation in June and July. I did get a free T-shirt though!! HAAH!!
Please don't hestitate to write. I am always around.
Take care and God bless.

How are you doing today? This Navy for moms is such a blessing.
I see your son Ed just left for Boot Camp. He's fine and in good hands with the Navy.
I'll let you know what to expect. Sometime next week, you'll receive the box with Ed's ciivilin clothes in it. There's no letter in it, we all looked for ours! HAHA!
The second week, you'll recieve a form letter. On the back , is about two sentences from Ed. You'll have some relief seeing his handwritting.
Around the third week is your first long letter. Now, the return adress on this envelope is the one you write back to.
I do warn moms, sometimes that first letter is sad. Don't panic if it is. Once Ed gets into the rountine of Boot Camp and over being homesick, he will like Boot Camp. They all do beleive it or not.
You may also receive a phone call from Ed the following weekend, after the first letter.
The foruth week will be your graduation package.
It's the moms having nervous breakdowns! HAhA!
Please stay in touch with other Navy moms. I'm always around. Together, we will help you get through Boot Camp.....we haven't lost a mom yet! HAHAH!
Please don't hestitate to write.
Take care and God bless,
Barbara
