bowmdg replied to Claire's discussion 'Corpsman being deployed to Afghanistan' in the group Corpsmen Moms
Yes, he got his leave - he is going to visit his children at Pensacola NAS. His ex is stationed there so he will see them and then swing through Texas to see us for a minute on the way back. I will keep your son in my prayers. We are all in this ...

My son went through all of his training as he was to deploy to Iraq on 08/16/09. At the last hour practically, they cancelled the deployment so it is back to business as usual for him at Camp Pendleton. We are, of course, very happy that he did no...

bowmdg replied to sean'smom's discussion 'Student Loans'
You can have your son call Sallie Mae himself when he is free to do so and speak with the people about the military deferrment. Since the loan is in his name and he is responsible for it, you can't really do this for him. You may get his deploymen...

bowmdg commented on Teresa Bunch's blog post 'What does the Navy pay for?'
My son graduated 10 years ago and there was never any talk of paying for the parents to attend. His recruiter was pretty truthful about their expenses and what to expect except he promised to write to my son when he got up to Great Lakes and that ...

Profile Information

About me:
Married for 30 years, 4 children, 3 grandchildren, 3 dogs, employed as a paralegal for 22 years.
I am here to support or represent my:
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was proud and encouraged it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
The opportunities available for my son who shocked us with enlisting after a year in college. He earned a 4 year academic scholarship but found it boring. The Navy has helped him mature and he is in a profession he enjoys that he can also do in the civilian world upon retirement.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Welcome to Navy for Moms!!! My son loves it too, he's in the Nuke program and will be going into a sub soon; I imagine then I won't hear from him nearly as much. I wrote also because we are almost neighbors. I live in Willis TX, just North of Houston. I'm thinking of a support/funloving group for Navy for Moms in our area; would you be interested? You are the first one I have asked. I guess I need to make a group to see just how many of us there are.....Congratulations again!!
