Deb - I know Jacob wishes he could be there. Guess the trade-off it that he got to be at Macy's parade and the rest of you didn't. (Not the same, I know - just trying to cheer you up!) Have a great time at the wedding with Rob being there.
Cool brother, Deb. He's a blessing for sure.
Jane - can't believe you really looked for some on You Tube. Great idea. If you saw the instruments, the stringed one that looks like a bow from a bow and arrow is called a berimbau. The other is like a tambourine, only the little cymbals are reve...
Denise - hope you have a wonderful time in Georgia seeing your son and the little one. Is he stationed in Kings Bay?
Bea and Denise - thanks for your support - the frustration has really been building. Denise, where is Kismet? I'm in Wichita.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Jane- Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art. If you've ever seen the movie "Only the Strong", that's what they were doing. It was brought by slaves to Brazil and was so powerful the masters forbade the slaves from doing it. In order to keep it part ...
Margaret - 'Nuff said!
Bea - I SO know what you are talking about! For my son's PIR, I got to go, but his wife took her mother and brother and they got to see him way more than I did. I always heard that when sons marry they go with the wife's family more, but man, this...
Margaret - just curious as to what Richard did in Brazil. Kelly spent a year there right after high school, because he wanted to study capoeira from the experts. I made him take Portuguese while there, so at least he came home fluent in that.
Welcome, Wendy and Happy Thanksgiving.
That statistic still amazes me - especially with over 900 graduating every week. God bless them.
Hi, Holly. Welcome to the site. My son is about two weeks into sub school. It's a totally different world from BC.
Sounds like Galen is doing great! The surgery was ok, except I've broken stitches twice. The first time, the doc deadened and re-stitched. The 2nd time, it was healing pretty well, so I haven't even told him - don't want to drag out this recovery ...
Thanks, Pamela. I'm hoping to go sometime next spring or summer - appreciate the info.
Janice - My son is in sub school now and we just went through the ticketing process, so I can answer some of your questions. There are two different "shifts" for the holiday. One starts 12-18 and goes to the 28th. The other covers New Years, but I...
Terry - no, Kelly is in Groton, currently in sub school, then will stay for electronics school. How long is nuke school?
Profile Information
- About me:
- I have two grown, married children and one grandchild. My son who is in the Navy is an older recruit and has a 7 month old baby, so I probably don't fit the profile of the average Navy mom. However, I'm still just as interested in his career choice.

I've been trying to insert a photo on the PIR site but all I get is numbers and letters. Do you know how to do it?

I am stuck in training for work until 4 PM then I head to Omaha, unpack-pack-get a bit of sleep- then head to Illinois. Call me anytime at 402 679 2914, and what is your number, maybe I'll track you down or at least keep you company on the drive out. Lora

Tina (SAILOR GAGE) said… - well I hope he knows that marching is only one aspect of the ceremony, seeing them in uniform, knowing what they ALL accomplished to get there, the tests, comraderie, inspections, PFTs....anyhow, I just hope he knows that we all are proud of each one because whether they are standing in formation, holding a flag, ushering or spot checking, point is they all met the same requirements to graduate and tho some do this job and others do that....it was a team effort and graduation is a reflection of their success. Bravo Zulu Kelly!!

Cindy said… - Hi Marty,
I just connected the dots and realize our sons probably have similar paths ahead. My son is set for 10/16 PIR (counting on continued success!) then headed to Groton with the rate SECF. He said there were 8 guys in his division headed for sub school, looks like there may be a pretty big group of guys headed to CT. I'm hoping you'll add me as a friend and keep me posted if you hear anything interesting.
Are you going to PIR?
As far as the book goes, I'm not sure about it for your son since he's already there. I'll let you know after I've finised reading.

kerry pierce said… - wow and i also used to work at betty's in valley center but not while she was alive i worked for harry and rhonda phillips who bought it from the family. believe me as close as it sounds you are he'll call , they all need to hear our voices and comfort to feel safe. they have to buy phone cards on ship to use secured phones, but once in port they can call anytime and talk for how ever long they like. it's great they get so excited to tell of sites and countries adventures news experiences they are having. it's just plain wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
