Kathryn - Rob's proud mom

Profile Information

About me:
I am a stay at home mom, although I feel funny saying that since our son is in the Navy and our daughter is a college freshman at Youngstown State University. My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary this year. I have always been proud of my family and now I am proud to be a part of the Navy family!

My son, Rob, is an AZ and a 3rd Class Petty Officer aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. He has earned both his Air Warfare and Surface Warfare pins during this deployment.
I am here to support or represent my:
Son/Daughter
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:
#1 - That, as mom, I am no longer his commander-in-chief.

#2 - He has done very well in the Navy and he has done it without me there to push or nag him about anything. So it is time for me to just shut up, sit back and enjoy watching him succeed all by himself!!

#3 - And that it is finally possible to be both a parent and a "buddy" with my son. YAY!
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Thanks for the add...my son's been on the IKE since August. He was previously on the Mahan. This will be his 2nd deployment so we are good to go. Just thankful he'll be home for the holidays this year. Do you have any insight on how to get on the ombudsman email distribution for the IKE. I went on the website and made a submission & also signed up on the yahoo groups that I saw mentioned in the IKE groups here on N4M. I received an email to verify his info but so far nothing confirmed. I'm not on the site as much now except during deployments but since he's changed ships trying to connect with others on the IKE.
