My son will be leaving on his 3rd Deployment in September. When I heard this I was a little angry. You see, he only got back in November. That will be 10 months from the end of one Deployment to the beginning of the next. He was suppose to have 18...
That is the Military for you. They are allowed to change their mind. My son's last deployment to the Persian Gulf was shorter than the first one. However, he is suppose to have 18 months between deployments and he is leaving in September to be dep...

Hi, my name is Kelly. My son has been in the Navy for almost 4 years. I just found this site. His name is Christopher and he is in San Diego. I live South of St. Louis.
Ahoy, Kelly. So glad to find another nearby Navy Mom. I am in Belleville IL. My Navy Mike is out-to-sea right now, but he is out of San Diego, too. He loves finding and running into Sailors from near home. He's such the Midwesterner, my Navy Mike! Your Christopher has had his share of travels, already.
Glad to have another close-by Navy Mom to share Sailor kudos with.
Blue Skies!
Michele (Navy Mike's Mom)
