Steelers have to work harder on stopping those run-backs on punts and kick-offs which are resulting in touchdowns for their competitors. Go Big Ben! Karen

His friend from Afghanistan is a guy who is going to be an instructor. I sure hope my son finds a nice steady girl while in Groton.

Hi Phyllis, Wonderful news for you all around! Congrats to you and your sailor! He's going to *love* San Diego. it's my old stomping ground. So much for a sailor to see and do. Superb mass transit (buses and trains) if the sailors don't have cars....

Hi Jeano, Yup. I had really bad recurring GERD several years ago. Not much worked on it. The GERD had caused physical damage and as soon as the milder drugs wore off the pain started again. Sometimes it felt like I was going to have a heart attack...

I think the Army should not let Hasan be disappointed. They should grant his greatest fear and let him die by gunfire. A firing squad. Did you see the fabulous article on the kids involved at http://ww.comcast.net news? Wow! What courage under fir...

Hi, I *think* Deborah is talking about OPSEC when she says she is worried about "saying something wrong". Maybe a quick reminder about how OPSEC works would be reassuring to the list. With fictional examples? I agree it can be pretty intimidating ...

Karen, My son is willing to help, but mailing may be a problem. He asked if it was something that could be ordered? he would order online and sedn direct to you. That would be the easiest for him since getting to a post office is not very possible with his hours. i can give you his email address if you would like to contact him.

Hi Karen, I just read your post on sub-moms and had to write. My son is currently in nuke school, and volunteered for subs back in bootcamp. He's home on leave right now (hooray!), and has been talking about his choice. He said he is a little sorry he volunteered for sub, because he thinks opportunities (both for internet education, communication, etc) will be better on a carrier than a sub. We talked about pros/cons, but he still felt he'd made the wrong choice. Reading that your son has been able to work on a degree, and the obvious pride that he has in his service, has made me feel that sub will be a good fit for my son. I know my son is intensely loyal and likes to be part of a well-oiled machine, and I think sub will be great for him.
Tell your son thanks for his service for me. I am so impressed by everything you've written. Sounds like he's an amazing young man.

Hi Kathy, welcome to Navy for Mom's:)) You will find a lot of answers, support and encouragement here. My daughter, Ashley (20), has been in the Navy for 2 years and is an IT3 & my son Tim (19) has been in since Feb 2008 stationed on the USS Nimitz.. What is your son doing with the Navy? If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm glad you joined and look forward to hearing more about you & your Sailor. Pat
