Proud mother of 2 boys, Joshua and Daniel. Both boys were and are in NJROTC at Hilton Head Island High School, SC. That is where they got the military bug. Married for 21 years and originally from the Detroit suburbs. Moved south when Josh was 8 months old. We enjoy the island life and both boys love the beach. Husband owns a Chem-Dry Carpet Cleaning franchise, while I spend my day at Morgan Stanley. Both boys are great children and proud of their accomplishments. I couldn't ask for better!! ">
I am here to support or represent my:
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Thinking about joining
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was concerned or afraid
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
Join navyformoms.com so that you have a support system!
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.
We are thinking about going to Charleston for the Navy Week in April. Maybe we will meet there. Steven was to be at AP Hill this week for training, but the river had too much ice so they stayed at Little Creek to do some other work ups. Talk to you soon
The meet and greet is in Myrtle Beach at the Market Commons at a restaurant called Gordon's. It will on l/23 but I have to check the time. Last week Steven was at Fort Pickett and this week he is at AP Hill. He too was in the extreme cold. I believe they were doing ground training. Not sure what's up this week. Did you hear about Navy Week in Charleston in April. Sounds great and am thinking of going with my husband for a few days. Not sure the exact deployment date for Steven so it will all depend on that.
Kim, I a m sorry I misspoke in my earlier comment. I do know that your son is also in Rivron1 since I have spoken to you in the Riverine Mom group. Sorry I didn't connect the dots. Seems like we are in this thing together regarding deployment. Steven is on the ground team in Rivron1 Det2. I know Hilton Head is a distance away from Myrtle Beach, but it would be great to meet you if you are coming to South Carolina Mom's meet & greet on 1/23. Wonder if the boys know each other.
happy to meet another South Carolina Rivron mom. We live in North Myrtle Beach. Always wanted to visit Hilton Head. Maybe someday. Steven is Rivron1 What about your son?
Anyone have any details on Riverine Training? My son starts in August and wants to know what to expect. Thanks. Anytime you spend giving me any info. you have is MUCH appreciated. God Bless & much love to you all.
