Connie foaling-lady (Groton) commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'Sub Moms'"What's the best way to handle cell phone service when deployed... my son is on our plan (much cheaper that way for him) and I'm wondering if he should suspend his service if he's out for many months (that would save him $70 a month).…"
Connie foaling-lady (Groton) commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'Sub Moms'"So .. what's with The Cake Boss visiting my son's boat? (Missouri) Does anybody know when this episode will be shown on TV? He said the film crew was not allowed into the reactor area, so he won't be on camera, but it would be…"
Connie foaling-lady (Groton) commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'Sub Moms'"Barn Godess, ditto on the 21st b'day while underway. And I have a halfway package made, but am heeding son's warning to "not bug" the ombudsman. My entire family lives in Florida ... geez, we DO share a lot! Foaling wise, still…"
Connie foaling-lady (Groton) commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'Sub Moms'"Barn Godess, my son's on the Missouri. And you're a horsewoman .... I can see we'll have lots to share in the years to come! My son has started his re-enlistment paperwork and is eager to get going on a deployment, too. He called my…"
Connie foaling-lady (Groton) commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'Sub Moms'"Lisbeth, THANK YOU .. husband and I just watched the video. Made me feel immensely better about seeing our son for the last time before he's underway. I'm still a bit blue, but puffed with patriotism!"
Connie foaling-lady (Groton) commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'Sub Moms'"I see from the earlier link about the Providence that 24 men re-upped during the deployment. Would that be tax-free, as they were in several areas of the Middle East? My son is still on the fence about what to do ... today he graduated from nuclear…"
Connie foaling-lady (Groton) commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'Sub Moms'"Sorry, more Kindle questions. Looks like Kindle Fire is out since all versions have cameras. So ....

Connie foaling-lady (Groton) commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'Sub Moms'"Decided to go all-out for b'day gift since won't see son at Christmas either. Kindle. Or Nook? Or Kindle Fire? Posted this question on nuke moms group, but advice from the sub folks would be appreciated. Also, what accessories will he…"
Connie foaling-lady (Groton) commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'NUKE moms'"I know this was discussed way back, but now am ready to whip out the Mastercard and order a Kindle for son, about to deploy on sub. Advice/recommendations? Kindle/nook/K fire? And what/how do I load books on it? :Probably going to buy online,…"
Connie foaling-lady (Groton) commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'Sub Moms'"susank, how small of a b'day gift? Would a book be ok? And do the guys even have time to read? I have gathered stuff for halfway boxes for him and any other sailor who may need one (I'll leave it up to the ombudsman to select) that…"
Connie foaling-lady (Groton) commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'NUKE moms'"Hi Cara, yup, you're officially a nuke mom! Funny, we checked out the hockey games, too while son was at GC.
Meanwhile, my sailor will finally deploy soon, after 2 1/2 yrs of training. Is it appropriate now for me to hang my Blue Star Mom flag…"
Connie foaling-lady (Groton) commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'Sub Moms'"Mark and William, no laughing at this question! Do sailors get to celebrate their birthdays while underway? Son will turn 21 in May, under the ocean who knows where. Birthdays are a big to-do in this family, already missed his 19th and 20th…"
Connie foaling-lady (Groton) commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'Sub Moms'"Son's orders changed, 9 days leave after welding school cancelled. Oh, rats. Hoping to see him before he deploys.

Lisa (MMNuke Mom) said… Hi Connie,
I sent you a friend request last Friday, meant to send a message with it, but was too quick with the click I guess. Anyway, I think our son's are in the same class (along with Kat's son), and I'd like to stay in touch as we all go thru this journey.

Julsburd said… - Hi! I just had to see your page and sure enough you did have a cute horse pic (along with your very handsome son!). I hope your mare gets through all this but it sounds like you and your husband have a lot of experience and you will do all you can to help her. I am so envious on your lifestyle... I'm sure you have days where you can't even sit because you are so busy but you should know that I would love to trade places with you :) Have a great Thanksgiving and I'll be thinking about you and your mare!

We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn , very nice, indoor pool, hot tub, gym, free breakfast for Grad families using the Navy rates. We left later then we wanted to for the Graduation and the traffic was terrible. So if you want the best seats then get there before 6 am. Of course we had a huge graduating day 14 divisions, 1098 sailors. We did not take the shuttle we drove. The hotel gave us directions which kept us off the major highway.
Yes my son is a nuke and did the schools. He was in South Carolina for A and B school and New York for C school. Then he has been stationed in CT since then.
