Have a wonderful holiday all. My son will be with a family on base in GC, so at least he is in a home for Thanksgiving. It seems that someone is always missing from the table at my house...either at their in-laws or away at "school", etc. It is ok...

Nancy, my sister passed away when she was 24. My mother said that the funeral was the hardest, the walking away. She just kept reminding herself that Joy, my sister, was no longer there. Only the "house" for her spirit was buried, next to my grand...

Rvogt, we have all been there...don't worry. Everyone was here for me, and now we are all here for you. The boy you dropped off and the man you will meet at PIR will astound you. Noe is right, the 10 second call and the "kid in a box" are the wors...
Hey Vina, Adam is in the same program as your son!! He is in GC and graduates from power school in May! We will have to make sure to connect...Happy Holidays all.
Rvogt...your son will do great at bc. Monica..love that it is like college with much better supervision, lol. My son went from UCSanta Cruz to bc and yes, he was much more "contained" (and I kinda liked that!).
Bea, could you come and organize my...
Thanks Linda, in fact, when you mentioned "adopt a sailor", it reminded me that Adam mentioned that. Maybe he signed up for it. I know that they will all make the best of it. Power school starts this Monday and I am anxious to hear how it is. He h...
Wow, congrats, Dianne!!!
My son Adam will be in GC for Thanksgiving...how do we link them with families, or are they doing that? He said something about hoping to go home with an Officer. We are looking forward to having him home for Christmas!
Hi everyone, welcome to the new Nuke moms. Michele, I met my son at O'hare at 5am to give him his cell phone, computer, etc...and bought him and his friends Starbucks (you would think I bought them gold!!) My plane actually took off before theirs,...
Hi everyone, thanks for the well wishes. Monica, my son is in Goose Creek (Nuke) SC. He is fine from the oral surgery, just looking more like a Pirate than a Sailor while waiting for his new tooth (they implanted the spike and have left him to hea...
Wow, I had alot to catch up with!! Anyway, Bea, I am willing to host a Sailor for the Holidays. We always have stranded kids around the table. This Thanksgiving we will have a grad student from Germany (he is so excited to eat real Thanksgiving fo...
Congrats Noe! PIR is such an amazing experience.
Lori, hang in there. Your son will be so proud of himself when bootcamp is over, he will feel like he can conquer the world. This time is new for everyone, but, all the work is worth it...really. Ke...
Thanks for asking Laurie. Adam is missing a front tooth and has a artificial tooth on a retainer. Somehow they let him go all through bootcamp with it, and on Tuesday the Navy decided that it was time to start the implant procedure. He woke up and...
Congrats Lisa..you have a Sailor!! and welcome Cathy (Catnayl). This is a wonderful group and full of terrific info/help/friendship, etc.

- Hi Naomi, You said on Nuke Moms that your son is starting power school on Monday. So is mine. Actually, he said they have indoc first and then actually start classes right after Thanksgiving. Maybe our sons will have classes together? Steve is an EM, what is your son's rate?

Patricia said… - Naomi, That is such sad news about your dog. I hope when your son is home you can all share in the good memories that come with life with a dog. You make me stop and think how we will handle that news when the time comes for our dog. How can a dog tug at our heart strings so hard?
I hope everything is still on track for your son's leave time. We've just learned that there's more delays and he won't be coming home as soon as hoped. It's hard fighting the disappointment but eventually it will happen.

- The box went to his dad. I was bummed I didn't get it but I got the form letter with his address and a quick note from him. I have already sent off letters and will be sending more this week. I met a few moms with boys in the same group as Taylor and they are all Seal candidates as well. Now I will know someone at PIR. I booked our flights and hotel....42 days and counting down!!

Laurie in WA (Tyler) said… - We wont be seeing him till probably December and even that is iffy. He got his leave changed to November to get married and now isn't getting married, said it would be too painful to come home when he was supposed to get married.
I hope we can fly out for perhaps his prototype graduation. Might go there for our 25th wedding anniversary in the summer.

- Hi Naomi, Yes---much to my amazement---it's a smaller world than you think. My friend's name is Tammy and her stylist is Elia, but we think that your daughter and her daughter went to the same college in SB! She will be coming in on Friday so maybe you will meet her. I can't make it on Friday so will have to try for another time.

- Naomi, That is such good news that your son will be coming home on leave......even if you have to miss the M&G there will be others. We will figure out our schedules closer to the date. Yes, my friend is a client at Textures. She said she would take me in there one day. I can't get over what a small world it is. I met a N4M here whose son was coached by my husband during his middle school baseball years. What are the chances??
We'll keep in touch for sure!

- Hi Naomi, Sorry to miss you at the 9/5 meet and greet. It was my first time to meet some bay area moms. The Los Altos meeting is a possibilty and thank you for the invite. Some of the other moms may be carpooling --- we should caravan! If I have to miss the 10/25 meet&greet it will be for the BEST of all reasons: my son may be home on leave, We still have no set dates......I keep reminding myself: it's Navy time we're dealing with.... What salon do you work at? I have a friend who thought she recognized your name in MP. How is A school going for your son?

- Hi Naomi, I just saw your posting about your son being in Power School in GC. My son finished Power School in Feb and is in NY now----almost done with Prototype School. We are hoping he can come home to Calif on leave soon. I see you are from RWC----we are neighbors in SM! I will be attending the SF meet and greet on Sept. 5, and hope to make the one in Los Altos. It's so nice to meet other Navy moms. We're quite a growing group! How far along is your son in school? Best wishes to him. Our son didn't care too much for GC either, but we loved Charleston when we went for the graduation.
I hope you will be able to go----you will be so proud of him.
