Profile Information

About me:
Hello:

My name is Kathy and my daughter Kriston will be leaving for boot camp on June 1, 2009 to start a new chapter in her life. Kriston and I are extremely close and she's the youngest of my three children. She has stuck by me when things got tough two years ago and I think that is what makes her such a strong person.

I am going to miss her so much. She loves to ride horses as much as I do. She plays a clarinet and has for the past 8 years or so. I hope she'll get to use her musical talents while she's in the Navy too. I will have to come back and write more here about me and my kids later.
I am here to support or represent my:
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Waiting to leave for Boot Camp
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was proud and encouraged it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
The only experience about the Navy I have is the fact that my father served in the navy for ten years as well as I have a friend who retired from the Navy. That is the extent of my experience. Oh I was born in Charleston, SC at the Naval Hospital there.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

There's twenty of us, in the same predicament.
Beat down and broken, is this how life is meant to be spent?
The clock is ticking, time is passing, when will I be free?
Oh the suspense.
Scared I'm stepping away from hope. I've lost all confidence.
I watch as they come and go, I can't help but to feel… Continue

Continuing voyages per Kriston:

The room of shattered hearts and broken dreams
Where everything should be going great,
or that's how it should seem

The place where tings come crashing down
You try to smile, but you're forced to frown

The place where bad things always seem to win
The place you have to overcome,
let the healing begin

This place could be your salvation,
or it could be your tomb.
You can't let the da

Hello Everybody!

Just dropping a line to everybody to let you know where Kriston is with her A-School. She has finished that part of her school with a good score and should class up tomorrow. She already knows where she is going to get stationed too. They are sending her to Japan to serve on the USS George Washington. She is extremely excited about this!

Hi Kathy! My daughter Emily and your daughter Kriston are great friends in 2341! I just talked with Emmy today and I'm happy to hear that she's doing just fine. And she received the package I sent her so I'll be sending her more stuff soon. It's so frustrating not being able to hug our daughters and give them a reassuring smile. I have no doubt that they will make it and have great stories to tell when they're done:)

Our Justin is in this Div2341 and Ship06, is Kriston there? Ask her if she knows Justin?
He is in there for his foot and shoulder. I am praying for a quick recovery, I will say one for your daughter also.

There's also a Snipe Moms and a Snipe Moms(Engineers) group. I noticed on the SM(E) group that someone named Bernadette asked 'Who are Snipes' under discussions and they list them all, including MM. She was curious because her daughter was being trained for that - maybe you could contact her. Take care.
