I think it is all part of the growing up process. My son was 28 when he joined in October 2008 so being a bit older it was maybe not so hard to see him go. I am so proud of him and want him to have opportunities that he might otherwise not have ha...

Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was proud and encouraged it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
Support your son or daughter at all cost. They will need it from time to time when they question their decision. Encourage them to make new long lasting friends and to learn from this experience every day.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Plan to head north the first week of March so I'm not sure if you'll have anything going on then but you can let me know. My younger son is moving so I am driving norht to help him. As far as my son in the Navy goes he is in Great Lakes kind of in a holding pattern until he starts A school. He has been waiting for over three months. Seems like a long time and a waste of money at times to me but for now he will jsut have to wait.

I am running days behind but am trying to get to all new members... so will try to catch up tonight.
Welcome to Navy 4 Moms, this is an exciting website and very informative... We would like to invite you to the Blue Candle Lighting event that occurs in your home anytime you wish to light a candle for your recruit sailor or the military in general. This is done to honor their service during the holidays, birthdays, special events or if you just want to. The Home for the Holidays/Blue Candle Moms also ask you join us in this group. This event and group has no special connections to "any one group" We are all Navy Moms, Wives, and we became Blue Candle Moms.... this included everyone on this website. Please come join us and share your stories and your lightings and your holidays with your child...this was done because some moms were not having their sailors home, and we are support group that can share feelings and fears. Annouce your child is coming home or the despair of knowing on certain holidays it is your sailor we light the candles for. To honor them for the service in the past present and future. To honor those that gave the Ultimate Sacrifice for our freedom. We celebrate the freedom to be Blue Candle Moms and the freedom to light our candles anytime we choose. Please think about our group and the Event and when responding tell where you lit your candle, and the reasons for your paticular lighting. the event will continue and once you rsvp come in anytime and update your lightings
