Needed to learn more about it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
I have been at this for several yrs and learned that you must encourage them and keep them in your thoughts and prayers all the time

Christmas Eve should have been a happy day.

Our house was decorated. Work was done at the small-town church where my wife, Ricki, and I are pastors. Our kids and their families were coming over the next morning. And best of all, Blake, my grandson, was… Continue

Take Care :)

Karen - I've read so much of your stuff over the last two years (when only 9K members) . . . you are so knowledgeable in the Nuke arena so I can't help but turn to you now.   My son had a bit of a set back (an accident that prevented his original boot camp date) but is NOW finally there.    He wen in wanting only carrier, but now they've advised him of some things about subs so he is reconsidering . . . I read the discussion in the nuke group from 2009, but was hoping to get more direct info - pay/benefits/privileges -- advantages/disadvantages. . . between the two choices.  you seemed like the logical person to ask.   Please impart your wisdom and any relevant information you think might help my boot camp son make a decision.   PLEASE /THANKS!

Karen, You need to delete a posting on sub moms. Julia has listed the sailing date of her son's Fast Attack, along with the name of the sub and its home port. We all know better but obviously she is a new Navy mom. I certainly don't want her son to get into trouble on the sub on his first deployment.

Hi Karen! I know it has been a while. I'm sorry. One of the MA Navy Moms & I are planning a packing party for Nov. 6 at 1P in Wellesley. It will be for the holiday adoptees. NH is a long state just like MA, so I wondered do you think any of NH's Moms who live on the NH/MA border might be interested? Just wondering. How are your sailors? And, of course, how are you? Take good care. Talk to you soon.
Donna
