Hi! I got to this website by a blessed accident......you see I'm not that computer savy and I made a mistake in a blog. This is my first time blogging. I'm not familiar with many terms, I just try to navigate through! I didn't know I could get in touch with folks in Norfolk who could maybe have similar experiences. I am sorry for not following the rules! I didn't mean it.

Nancy,
Thanks so much for posting the pics of the deployment. I just have discovered Navyformoms.com and have downloaded your pictures. We were not able to be there for the deployment and hated not having any pics, but thanks to you I have some now. My son was a line handler and I couldn't find him in any of the pics, but thats OK, I enjoyed them anyway. We probably will not be able to be there when they come back home, so i hope you will also take pics and post them as well. I appreciate all that you have down. From one mom to another.
Thanks Again,
Cheri

Hi Nancy, I've been posting in this group for awhile, but have had to stop posting due to a falling out with my son and his fiance who took great offense at mom talk. It kills me to not be able to post and chat and learn from fellow moms, but in order to mend relations with my son and fiance, I must.
I do have a question though. Do you know anything about Phase Office at Norfolk? Bryan just arrived to Norfolk last week. He spent all of four days with his squadron - Fleet Angels (choppers - shore duty), and was told he's transferring to the Phase Office. He's an AM and was just getting to know a handful of guys in his squadron and now will start over again with a new group of guys. He didn't know much about Phase Office except that it's about a year long and he will advance through three phases of learning helicopter mechanics. Heard of it??

Wow, that is great. Will that make him an E-5 or E-6?
180 days of crank...ugh...Stephen won't enjoy that very much, he though it would only be 90 days.
Any word on when he will be home??
Are you going on the Tiger cruise?

Hi Nancy, How are you?? How is your son?? Stephen finished his first C school. He finished 2 weeks early. He will be coming home for 10 days, then will be in Norfolk for his second C school. That will last 45 days, then he will get 2 weeks back at home before he has to report to the Bataan.

I'm glad he found a gruop with similar interestd. I'm sorry, but I don't know what "cranking' is.

I eailed my son Matt, and he confirmed that he sat with your family for the Family Cruise. He seems to be doing ok with the deployment, at least I haven't heard any negatives. he'll be in 2 yrs at the end of the month. Glad to be able to 'meet' a friend's mom.

They have to do two rounds of cranking?? I thought it was only 90 days. Is this his first deployement??
