Hi Kristy, I saw your comment in the Reserves discussion and wanted to clarify some things. First of all, I'd encourage you to join the Group for her and her Fiance's Ratings, you'll learn so much. Also, join your State Group! Just because your daughter is using this experience as a means to an end, doesn't mean you can't be a "gung ho" and involved Navy Mom! There are often N4M gatherings in each state from time to time, you should go meet some other moms in person. :) Reservist or not, you and your family are definitely part of the Navy community and extended family. No one will "get it" like other Navy moms and this is a great place to find accurate info, and find support and new friendships. =)

Also, you mentioned that the fiance had been in San Diego for 8 weeks with the Marines. Is he a Corpsman? (there's a great N4M group for that too. My son is one) Did you mean Camp Pendelton? If so, that is FMTB training, not a "C" school. Those "C" school slots are harder to get and are for specializing in the HM field, like for lab tech or dentistry for example. FMTB/FMF training is a whole 'nother thing and many males are going though that this year. They then have a chance of being attatched to a Marine DIv and being deployed to "the sandbox" Which brings me to my final question.

I'm curious who told your daughter that Reservists were going before Active Duty. At least for Corpsmen, I'd been told that they often use Reservists to "backfill" stateside positions for AD Sailors who had been deployed. Sure would make a diffrence to your daughter's fiance-and her- as well as my son if it was the other way around more often then not. Let me know what you hear please. Take care and stay in touch w/the Reserve moms! Best wishes to both of your Sailors! :-)

Hi Kristy, I am a second grade teacher in Texas. I have a request:

Our postcard project is going great, but we don't have any from MI! We got wonderful information and postcards from North Dakaota, the kids(students) want to take a hunting trip...LOL! We also got cards from Maine, Rhode Island, etc. It's great! Navyformoms is great! If you would like to help out with our project please visit my classroom website: http://www.myteacherpages.com/webpages/VWood/ Delete Comment
