My son leaves for BC in November. Afterwards, he goes to San Antonio for his MA training. Can anyone give me some idea what he is getting into?

Many of our Sailors are stationed at Lemoore NAS in California.Here's a home just for us to discuss how our Sailors like it there, how long they've been stationed, and have any of you been their for a visit?

"Hi everyone. I just joined this group. I've been on N4M for about a year. My son is a Master At Arms in San Diego. We visited him there in July and loved it. Does anyone else have an MA there?"
San Diego Moms/SOs
We had another group for the moms and significant others based in San Diego or with sailors based in San Diego. But it disappeared! So I'm starting a new one so that all of us in San Diego or with loved ones here can connect!
"Hi Lala. I live in Asheville and my son's PIR was in January 2010. I know how you are feeling and I can say that without the wonderful ladies on N4M I wouldn't have made it through. Becky is right. Your daughter is okay. My son had a hard…"
"Evan got San Diego so he is pretty happy with that. We will be going there for vacation this year!!!"
"Hi all! Glad to hear that Preston is back in action, praise God!!! Well, Evan has orders for San Diego and I am tickled to death! We're going to take our Vacation there this year. Never been to California so this will be awesome!"
"We aren't going either cause Evan will be coming home right after the pinning. I'm just so glad the CBT's are over!!!"
"Hello MA family. Haven't posted in a while but I have kept up with everyone. I hope all of the Sailors in the 3/19 class got the orders they wanted. I am happy to say that Evan got San Diego so we're happy. Never been to California but we…"
"Ya I know. Evan was pretty disappointed with that cause he really wanted King's Bay, Ga. Then he decided to take a mobile security position but changed his mind about that which made me happy. Now I'm not sure what he wants but he is in…"
"My son is in that class. I can't wait to see him!!! I think they are getting orders today."
"Donna- So sorry to hear about your Mom. My prayers are with her and of course the whole family. God bless you."

Mom of 2 said… - Sheila, I'm flying out of Asheville, too. My flight#6119 and departs at 06:13 am (very early) on Jan 13. I used onetravel.com 866-794-6049 when I called them the flight was cheaper than the online price. I'm returning on Jan 18 flight #6340 and departs Chicago at 1:42 pm. I'm staying at the Ramada Inn, since they have a shuttle and I will use the shuttle to PIR and they have a restaurant on site and if weather is bad, we will still have food. Let me know if you take the same flight. My son is in ship 13 div 55.

zachsmom-Proud Mom of a Sailor said… - Zach's is Ship 3 Division 047. We called the recruiter a few days after he left and he gave us the address. He left on Thurday Nov. 5th and we had his address on Monday. He has been gone two weeks today. The longest two weeks of my life! I hope to get a real letter or a call within the next week. Let me know when you find out Evan's division. I hope you have a great day today! I'm headed to a meeting in Asheville. Hang in there!!

- Thanks for the sweet note! I'm sure you have had your 30 sec call by now and now you are waiting for the box! We received our form letter on Monday and Zach was able to write a few lines to us. This is so hard! We live in Marion, NC so you are not too far from us. I hope you are doing ok with this adjustment. I will add you to my prayer list!!!

Barbara's Page said… - Dear Sheila,
I know, it's so hard. When I watched Kim's van pull off, I felt like my heart was torn out of my chest. It will get easier each day.
That's why I press on about keeping in touch with other Navy moms.
I'm here every single day. I couldn't have made it through Boot Camp, without the other Navy moms, to help me through. We keep one another's sanity going here! HAHA! We even pray for one another.
I'm glad you remembered, patience. WHen you recieve the box next week, it will leave an empty feeling. We all went through this.
Then the following week, the Form letter, you'll feel some hope and relief when you recieve this. It'll have Evan's address along with his Division
and SHip number. Now you can write to him. On the back will have a couple of sentences from him.
But keep in mind, when you recieve his first letter, sometimes it's sad. Don't panic. His letters will get more uplifting. The first letter comes around the third week. You may even get a phone call from him, as well.
Let me run. I just got the computer now, it's after 2 AM.
Please stay in touch.
Take care and God bless,
Barbara

- Dear Sheila,
So Monday is the big day. Bring tissues. We even stayed to watch Kim and the other Navy recruits pull off in a van. Let me tell you, it felt like my heart was torn out. We all went through this. That's why I say the Navy for moms is really a true blessing. We keep one another's sanity going.! HAHA!
You must be so turkeyed out! HAHA! I'm not a turkey lover, But I enjoy the neck and wings! HAHA! Last year, when we had the Thanksgiving a week before, with Kim, her and I split the neck. I had the whole thing to myself the following weekend! HHA!
The Holidays are rough. this is my second time around now. But God bless the friends our children make in the Navy. They all go out to eat together. So they're not alone on the holidays. I'm grateful to God for that.
Now with Toys R Us advertizing things for Christmas, I'm looking at future toys for my little guy already! HAha! I'm checking off, "okay age 1 and that's for age 2-3 "HHA!!
God bless you and your family.
Let me get going. You'll be fine on Monday, but bring tissues, it is emotional.
Please stay in contact.
Take care and God bless,
Barbara
