- About me:
- Well, my son is coming home from BC (discharged long story) and for three weeks I was a proud new Navy mom. Now I am a thrilled Navy mom. My son is coming home safe and somewhat sound and my daughter now 14 says in 4 years she is Navy BC bound. So, I am a still Navy mom.
- 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 proud and encouraged it
- From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
- Write them letters. Lots of letters and show them you support them no matter what.
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Bootcamp Blues
I guess that is what part of being a Navy mom is all about now. Knowing we shouldn't worry about them, but finding we can't help ourselves. Knowing that they are now in the hand of their superiors and ultimately G-ds hands… Continue

Son On Hold for Now
Got up this morning, the birds were chirping and G-d smiled down on the earth. Then he decided to once again play a practical joke on our family. My son is underweight. Seems MEDCOM passed a minimum weight requirement but failed to notify all the recruits. I must admit it is rather satisfying to see all the recruiters now run… Continue

My son's going away party
I hadn't cried at all until last Friday, when i told a co-worker how i want to write him a letter to read on the plane. I fell apart, realizing he was really leaving.
Being the weekend parent, we had Jacob's going away party this past Saturday. I spent the better part of the night before and that day looking for "our special book". As a small boy he and I would read "love you forever" by Robert Munsch. I would sing the mommy parts and when it came to the son… Continue

Rose R said… - I noticed your post in ship 17(5) Lyrae. It does pass. At least he is getting to legal so the ball is rolling. don't get upset if you don't hear much from him. they get 2 calls a week from Separations, usually short. Tell him(or write him) to call from Legal. They usually give them enough time to have a conversation and give you an opportunity to ask questions.Write to him often just encouraging uplifting stuff.

- Hi Lyrae. Welcome to ship 17 (5) moms. Hope you are doing ok. I sent a friend request if you want to speak privately. I have lots of info posted at the top of Ship 17 moms. Links that can help answer questions. Every recruit can't deal with boot camp. Not the end of the world. PM me for specific questions if you wish.

Cindy Corpsman Mom said… - God bless you! At least you'll have a little idea of what your daughter will go through. However, my friend has a daughter in the Navy and there was a lot of fighting going on at BC between females. Females? fight? There is something right for you son out there. One of the things I dislike the most about BC is that the kids have no idea what they are getting into until they get there. Take care and stay on N4M's!

Kristyna said… - Lyrae-- Please know that we are keeping your son in our prayers. I hope you hear word soon. This is a very confusing time for everyone. I'm also on this site many times a day. My heart breaks everytime I hear someone is struggling.

- Lyrae ~ I've just had a few conversations with Jay on Navy Dad's, so thought I'd pop in and say 'hi' and welcome to N4M's. I noticed you had mentioned "Love You Forever." What an awesome book. I used to read that to Morgan, my corpsman, when he was younger. I don't know how many times I ended my letters with "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always." It looks like you've already received some good advice. The only thing I can add is all the emotions that you may go through, that others think is unnecessary or don't understand, they are normal. Any mom you talk to on this site will probably say, 'I know that feeling' or 'I've been there'. We are here for you to encourage, support, provide info, whatever it may be. That's why a lot of us mom's stay here. We want to pass on what we were given while our sailors were in bc. Please don't hesitate to stop by and say 'hi'. I'm on the site everyday. Truth be known, I'm on here multiple times!
