I can say from personal experience that the families who host sailors away from home on the holidays are a BLESSING. My husband and I were away during Thanksgiving, which is a HUGE deal in my family of 100+. A local family in Pensacola took us and...
Yes we have a site right here on our beloved N4M that does just this :)
Mollys Adopt A Sailor
We have been doing this for about 1.5 years and each month we select a different group to adopt ---they come to us through our website. And these are no...
As a group, we would like to adopt a group of sailors and send letters and/or packages.
I think we N4M could make a big difference in some sailors lives if all of us would just write one letter (you can do more if you want)
Does anyone out there now how you go about adopting a sailor for the holidays. My son is in A School in Ct and will not make it home for Thanksgiving. He mentioned he would visit with a family who is part of the Adopt a Sailor program. We live in ...
Glad you got a phone call and your son is doing well. My son's PIR date is also 10.09.09. He is at Great Lakes.
Hi Melinda,
My son is in the same ship but Div. 353 with a PIR date of 10/9 and I received my first phone call yesterday. It was great to finally hear his voice and know that he is doing OK also. I was so worried about him not having much time to...
Hello,
Looking for other moms out there with a child in Ship 03 Div 352. I spoke with my son for the first time since the initial 24 second phone call. We got to talk for about 15 minutes. He sounded great and happy. Said he has made 2 friends Ja...
A place to talk, ask questions, share story's. When your child leaves for boot camp its a long 8 weeks. We can all be here for each other.
Yeah, I guess our mothering will never end. I too have read the entire DEP book and knew what my sons pysical fitness requirements were before he did. Reading the book has helped me coach him along the way. It is very helpful.
My son also wants m...

Thanks for the replies. I might have something confussed because his papers he got when he enlisted said he would spend x amount of time at all three locations.?? I will have to check and see if he is Fire Tech, I know he told me he was, we just h...
Hello, new to this group. My son leaves for BC 08.17.09. He has signed up for subs to be a FT. I know he will go to CT, WA and GA for school. Can anyone give me helpful hints to share with him. Is school very difficult? Is it all classroom work? A...

- Hello Melynda,
How are you doing since your son left for BC? I haven't been on N4M in a couple of months, had too many things going on to spend much time on the computer.
I hope your son is doing well at Great Lakes.
It is tough on us as parents; but he will do great and you will be SOOOOO PROUD of him when he graduates. I was amazed at the change in my son after just 8 weeks. I almost could not contain my joy at how much he had matured.
Will you be able to attend PIR? I hope so, it is a very special time.
Hope to hear from you soon. I plan to stay in touch more often now that things are not so hectic.

AlbaScott (Div 260) said… - Hi Melynda,
My son also signed up for Submarine Duty. He is going to school in CT. I am thinking about my son every day. I just got his address and division and am going out to get him a calling card ASAP and sending it to him. I want to hear his voice so bad. I want to know everything that he is doing and going through for the next couple of months as much as I can. I'm here is you need to talk.
Talk to you soon,
Alba ;o)

Eddie's Momma said… - Hi Melynda,
Welcome, It's nice to meet you. I'm not going to lie and say it's going to be easy when it's time for your Son to leave..Because it's not..or it wasn't for me. My son got mad with me a couple of times, lol..because I would start crying if or when he and I were hanging out..He used to work off shore, any where from two Weeks to a Month..and that did not bother me because he was always back home within that time frame. But this is not even close the that kind of time frame. I do keep a Journal and write to him every morning when I get off work and in the evening before I go back to work. I miss my Son so very much..My boys are my Oxygen !! : )
I wish you and your son the best of Luck..I'm also here if you ever need to chat. You take care...have a wonderful Weekend.
Your new Friend,
Eddie's Momma
