Eric Guthrie is an air traffic controller who my daughter worked with on the Big Stick. She says he always has a smile on his face and is quite the prankster - An outstanding young man. He recently transferred to Jacksonville and was hit by a car ...

Nannie...I don't know a lot about spider bites, but I do know with any type of allergic reaction, the best and most important medication is an antihistamine (ie Benadryl). If it is severe enough, epinephrine (epi-pen) is a must. My son is severely...

Hi Gail...My daughter has been in the Navy a little over 3 years. She will be arriving in Norfolk, VA after Easter. Due to security reasons, I can't say the date! My husband, son and I plan to be there and wouldn't miss her HOMECOMING for anything...

That is so true Gail! BC is definitely tough for families! The multiple emotions we experience build until that wonderful day when PIR comes! It was one of the proudest days of my life!!! Then it's tough that the Navy does not allow our new sailor...

Congratulations Karen. Where is the Roosevelt's home port? Have you check to see if there is a support group on site for the ship? Are you going to be able to be there when the ship comes in? I know lots of questions, but someday I will be there and I'm curious.

We adopted the Rodney M Davis in November and December through Molly's Adopt A Sailor site and I've gotten attached to the group. It's fun to follow all of the excitement of babies on the way, 1/2 way parties and the plans for homecoming. I can't imagine how excited you must be to see your daughter again after so many months.

Pop in and share with the other moms on the site too, several of them have Sailors deployed on ships and subs.
Take care.....

Welcome Aboard N4M.

It is so wonderful you have joined us and I would like to invite you to come join the Colorado Moms group too. We just had our first statewide gathering on Jan. 11th and we had a blast. We are in the process of organizing smaller area get togethers in the next couple of months. The Southern Colorado Moms have one scheduled for March 1st in Colorado Springs and the Western Slope moms are putting one together for March 28th, you can find the information in the discussion section of the Colorado Moms site.

Pop in and tell us about your Sailor and yourself. If your Sailor is deployed we would love to send a Colorado Love Box. Just let me know and we will connect for the necessary information. This is a great group of moms that loves to support our Sailors and their families.

What is your daughter doing in the Navy? My son Mike is a Nuke at Goose Creek.

Hope to hear from you soon!!
