Hi Nor. Cal. Moms,
You all are a great bunch of friends. Bea, ur husband is a very nice man. He was very kind at the M&G and let me pick his brain about family law. Chrissy and her ex r still fighting over my grandson. I have him this weekend, the...
Hi Nor. Cal. Moms,
My deepest condolences to you Nancy and your family. There was a suicide in my family many years ago, so I understand your pain.
I have my grandson (Chrissy's Navy brat) with me for a few days. He is the joy of my life. Take car...
Yes, Christmas stand down @ GL is 3 am Dec. 18th - 30 days & 12 hours!
Chrissy says about 5,000 sailors will be trying to leave the base all at once. And she hopes there is not a blizzrad.
There are things they can do while on hold. My daughter went to the base daycare and read to the preschoolers. She liked that. Besides that she has regular duty and watch. And soon they will be shoveling snow in GL!.
Hi Baptist Moms,
How is everyone doing? How are your sailors? Kim, Did Ethan get his orders? Did he get his 1st choice? Chrissy said if they get good grades they get to choose where they will go next. ~ Vicky
Hi Sharon,
I am never to busy to chat on N4Ms. My Chrissy will be in GL for Thanksgiving. But she will be coming home for Christmas. As she is in A school, everyone gets leave.
She misses her son very much and we counting down the days.
Navy Hugss...
Bea, My 13 year old told me that I was old, I said that " I prefer the term middle-aged" She said "that is what old people say when they don't want to admit that they are old". Lol
Well said Beth B., I agree with you. I don't worry bout my sailor being on hold. She has a career and a purpose in life, excet for missing her son, she is adjusting well to miltary life. The "Hurry up an wait" describes it very well, my father was...
Chrissy said there about 300 sailors on hold for A school @ GL.
I am a proud Army Brat. This my father; he was a LTC.
Hi Amanda,
Yes there are holds for AECF A-school. My sailor, Chrissy PIR on 8/21/09. She has done some pre-A school stuff called Indoctrination and ATT. She said A school will not start until March! ~ Vicky
Hi Nor. Cal. Moms,
If I am free on the date, I would attend a Sacramento M&G, as it is only an hour drive from my home. Restaurants are fine, but I also like the idea of having it in a home, because it is more private, friendly and relaxing. Potlu...
Hi No. Cal. Moms,
My SAP moment:
Texting between me and my sailor Chrissy:
Me: Can I have ur permission to put ur pic up on the Wall of Heroes at Wal-Mart?
Chrissy: I am not a hero, I'm just in A school
Me: You are a hero. I am proud of you.
Chris...

PIR 8/21/09
I went to Chicago and had the most wonderful time. It was so amazing to see the PIR! I am a Army brat and have been to many military ceremonies but this one tops them all! The tremendous pride you feel when your child becomes part of our country's Navy is so overwhelming. I thought my heart was gonna jump out of my chest.
The whole weekend was a whirlwind of activity, wish I could of stayed longer. My grandson had a great time. He was pretty good during the ceremony, he feel asleep at the end. S… Continue

Sunday June 28
Chrissy called me twice this morning and I missed both calls. There was not a good signal where I was at, but I also had it turned off during church. Another Mom said she was going to keep her phone on during church, I think I will do that next Sunday! I keep listening to the messages over and over again! I miss her so much. She told me to"Chill out" and she was fine. She has a small surface fracture, but is not in any pain. She went to chapel this morning with a friend from a "brother division"… Continue

Mary, Proud Mom of Nick said… - Hi Vicki, wanted to welcome you to AECF group. I've been out of town for a couple of weeks so a tad late on my welcoming you. Will Chrissy be an FC or ET when she graduates from A school? Our son is an FC and is with his first ship in Hawaii now, if you have any questions please let me know.

bfoygirl said… - thanks so much for the information. It helps to have someone to talk to about it all. It's so hard keeping her twin together and her older sister without showing my own fear and pain. I feel confident in her abilities as she has been a commander in NJROTC for 6 years. She was on the competitive drill team and she has had all of the orders of the sentry drilled into her brain as well as chains of command and such. The physical aspects I worry about even though she's in very good shape being on the situp/pushup and running teams as well, but a mom has to worry about the separation. She's NEVER been away from me or her twin for more than an evening. Luckily all three of my girls moved into their own place in June so I've had some time to adjust, but NOT ready! Thanks for the words of encouragement and allowing me to vent! Enjoy Labor day!

Hi my friend, You have to keep thinking posstive and don't get down. If Chrissy calls she will heat it in your voice for sure. You can do it just say a prayer and go on. I know it is ruff now but it will get better. You can message me later when Alexis is in BC and remind me of that later. Just remember she is doing a proud thing and making a life for her and her son. Just sit down and write her letters and let her know how proud you are of her, maybe that will help you get over this blue spell. Hang in there my friend, I'm here if you just want to talk. She has God on here side so he is watching over her day and night. Take care and I will talk to you later. luv ya my friend Pam (Alexis step-mom)
