Thank You. You are a Nuke mom? My son is going Nuke too. He will PIR 12/4/09 but I don't know yet when he goes to Goose Creek. He might know. I don't even know what time to be there for PIR. Someone said paperwork will come to me when the date get...
Hi! "Anytime" with your sailor will be good times. I'm assuming you are going to see him while he is still in BC.
He will appear more grown up and assured of himself. I bet he will be a bit emotional. For me, when I saw my son at BC graduation, we...
It's on blue paper headed "Thanksgiving 2009 Adopt-A-Sailor Family Request Form/Information. It came in the mail from my son. It has Host Agreement and requests for adoption. On the top right hand corner it has (RTCNOTE 1710). Here is a phone # pr...
Newbie Boot Camp Mom here.....What is the "sheet" you mention for Thanksgiving?
It seems the letters and phone calls are either feast or famine. I haven't received a call or letter since 28 October. I thought for sure a call would come today, after all it's Sunday, isn't that phone call day? I am hoping to talk with him befor...

I am looking so forward to Thanksgiving with my sailor even if it is only for 7 hours. It's going to be a 6.5 hour drive up after work on Wednesday with a late arrival sleep fast and then go get him at 0800 to 0900. I'll probably just stare at him...
I received a letter from my son saying can we visit for Thanksgiving and that a formal letter will come shortly to be completed and returned. Thanks God we only live 45 mins. away!!
i wonder if he means the Navy lodge, you need to google navylodge/great lakes and it will give you a number to call to make reservattions.
Received my second letter today and then a phone call. He said he only had 5 minutes to talk but that there is a chance I can spend a few hours with him on Thanksgiving Day and that he was sending information about that. I am so there. St. Louis t...

I need to breath
I'm so excited to get to see my son on Thanksgiving even if it is just for a 7+ hour window. I can't wait to see his face. How he holds himself, has his hair grown any, did he loose weight, did he buff up, will he smile real big when he sees me or will he be emotional like his mom. Did they take the emotin out of him at Boot Camp? Will I be able to stop crying happy tears. Oh man, I can hardly wait. Adrienne

Feast or Famine
It seems the letters and phone calls are either feast or famine. I haven't received a call or letter since 28 October. I thought for sure a call would come today, after all it's Sunday, isn't that phone call day? I am hoping to talk with him before I send the sheet in for Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to seeing him Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving in Great Lakes
I am looking so forward to Thanksgiving with my sailor even if it is only for 7 hours. It's going to be a 6.5 hour drive up after work on Wednesday with a late arrival sleep fast and then go get him at 0800 to 0900. I'll probably just stare at him after I stop hugging him and then PIR is the following Friday. Yippee

Mariab said… - Adrienne, I know what you are going through, I was waiting too, so I called his recruiter, he gave me address. Then I finally get the letter from Blake, and it's a different address! Ugh! So the first couple of letters might not reach him! There is a lesson in this whole story, I'm working on patience!!! Your letter will come, and it will be a great day!!

We managed to make it through boot camp, but songs and grocery stores were tough. Even shopping at Kohl's seemed empty when I went by the young men's clothing section. And, the dogs, jumping up whenever they heard a "stereo on wheels" and running to the kitchen door.
Let us know how we can help you.
