Craig texted me tonight - he is flying from CA to Charleston rather than Myrtle Beach, and saving $250!! He will be home Dec. 25 at 8:45pm - which is really fine - as we celebrate Chanukah rather than Christmas, and Chanukah is not really a big ho...
hippmom- that is SO funny about chapstick! I, too, was most concerned about chapstick. Craig took 12 tubes with him to boot camp - and all 12 came back! When they finally got to by to NEX and buy chapstick, some guy in his division carried it in t...

OK ladies - I just got off the phone with Sharon, my friend who works at Springmaid Resort in Myrtle Beach - and she is reserving a block of rooms (ten) for the weekend of the meet n greet, January 22-24, 2010. Springmaid is an older hotel, but ri...
Hmm-my email inbox says there are recent posts, and above it says last post 9 hours ago - but don't see one after Nov. 13th.
For all you new navy moms - you WILL get through this! Log on to a group that has the same boot camp graduation date as your child - and you will be immediately surrounded by moms who are going through the exact same thing at the exact same time -...
wade142-I'm originally from Boston, and have lived in SC for the last 19 years - and I still miss our Yankee Thanksgiving dinners! Your boy will love the food - but agreed - it will be different! But how wonderful that there are such kind people i...
We'll have to remember to bring lots of tissues to the meet n greet - I am sure there will be lots of tears - some from laughing so hard I am sure!!
Please make sure to tell your home town recruiter about the meet n greet for any SC Mom of a "newb...
I can't remember where I read this - but in some literature the navy gave out - a reading list - and one of the books recommended to read for new sailors was The Kite Runner - just sent that to Craig - and he's already started reading it. Look thr...
Deb - let us know about Jacob's eye situation - will be praying.
It is hard to believe that it's almost Thanksgiving - and we all lived through boot camp! Craig is very happy in the Navy - and it's a joy as a mom to hear your child so content with...
annm-my son told us that we couldn't go to MEPS in Columbia with him - which wasn't true! I felt so sad that we missed the opportunity to see him sworn in - but - it is what it is! He wanted to go alone - and off he went. I don't know what I would...
Rita - thank God! Thanks for letting us know you heard from your boy!
I spoke to Craig's recruiter the other day - and I told him I would be willing for him to give my number to moms of young men and women who are interested in enlisting in the navy. He told me that he now makes sure that ALL moms get the N4M websit...
I spoke to Craig's recruiter yesterday and he told me about the Soldiers and Sailors Act - and that if a person goes in the military owing money on a credit card, that once in the military, the interest rate is capped at 6% if the lender knows you...
My life feels normal again after BC! I actually slept through the night a few times this week - what a miracle. Craig seems very happy in California, although he doesn't start his language class until January - but I am sure the Navy is keeping hi...

Boot Camp Arrival
Just got home from the beach, and there was a message from my son - said he arrived at boot camp and the "box" of his stuff would be arriving soon!
I responded (or so I thought) to everyone who replied to my very first post - but I don't think I did it correctly and I don't think it got sent! I am so computer illiterate - have never been in a chat room or posted anything before!
Thanks to all who responded - and any tips on how to navigate around page would be great!

- Thank you for your note and the flowers! I posted that my son's been invisible this week and It's funny that my thoughts go from the worst to that my son's probably just enjoying his time before A school begins, hanging out with the guys and not thinking to call home and let us know what he's up to! I'll be checking with his recruiter today to see if I can find out at least where he's at. I notice you're in Myrtle Beach, beautiful area! My husband lived for years in SC, for a while he was in Lake City - not too far from your neck of the woods. It's a small world!
Thanks again, have a great day!

CTI Mom said… - Dear Sailor Craig's Mom, thanks for your kind note. Sound like Craig has a wonderful future ahead of him. Jared is also 24 and several years older than most of his class. Maybe our sons will cross paths one day. Jared's decision to join the Navy turned out to be the best decision he ever made. The Navy provides sailors the opportunity to work towards a college degree while at sea through the University of Maryland. He was able to get his associates and plans to continue. I wish Craig all the best and know he will do well. Keep in touch. Janet

Tina (SAILOR GAGE) said… - My nephews name is George, we call him Gator. He is an MM which means he works on refridgeration and air conditioning on a ship. He was in a motorcycle accident. He collided with a truck head on (not sure of details but they were coming around a bend) Due to severe blood loss they had no choice but to amputate just to stop blood loss and return blood pressure and save his life. They had to do it quickly and close. Today was the first time the surgeons could go in and clean up everything. If all goes well, they will transfer him to Jax (hometown) and continue care here near his family, but if things get complicated they they will stabilize and send him to California. So Prayers are all we can do!! Both for Gage and for the surgeons.

catnayl said… - 359 is not coed.I am glad to hear Aaron is not grad and go but that can change at the end.Is Craig grad and go?Aaron wants to go into Chicago and see the science museum.His Dad and I would like to go to the Navy pier.Plan to go to the Ramada Inn meet and greet Thursday night.Do you plan to go?I think I might wear pants if I climbing onto the bleachers and will have to check the weather forecast in case a coat is needed.I think Aaron might like the pool; reminding him of his high school swim team days in California.I thought Aaron would want to just chill out and sleep while we visited him but he wants to get out and explore.We will see if that changes when we arrive.Aaron told his Dad that they had just missed getting the Educ flag but have a chance to get it with a few to do retesting.Time is really flying by and before you know it grad will be here.The marriage of the couple after dating 12 years is remarkable and plus having a baby as a wedding present.How wonderful.You are multi talented with working in the healthcare field and performing marriage ceremonies.Here's hoping for more letters from our recruits.
