Ladytaurus Finally got the call!!!!

I finally got the call from son ooorah. It was the problem of miscommunication where he lost all of our phone numbers. I was so happy to finallly receive that phone call. He called his step-dad and his step-dad made him stay on the phone until he got home. Now I have a sigh of relief , as soon as I heard my son's voice I teared up and my headache went away. He said he was doing fine and I will be seeing him in Sept. he will be sending me the information for that later. Oh now I know what all the… Continue

HELLO EVERYONE I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WARM INVITES. I VISITED THE SITE BEFORE I WENT TO GREAT LAKES AND WAS VERY TOUCHED BY THE COMMENTS SOME PARENTS HAD MADE AND THE STORIES I READ.

BUT WHEN I GOT TO CHICAGO AND SAW THE GRADUATION I WAS SO PROUD OF HIM ONCE THE LIBERTY BELL RANG I THINK I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO START… Continue

beckilynn*Cody's mom* Almost done...

My journey as a "Boot Camp Mom" is almost done. I have two weeks from today until I will be with my Sailor. One week from tomorrow he will be going through Battle Stations. It has been a tough experience. For both of us. I remember the day we dropped him off at the recruiter's office. The long night that followed. Then waiting for the phone call to let me know he was there and safe. The waiting was what prompted the last post. The waiting is also the cause of this post. I remember the joy of get… Continue

Anti M The Healing Field needs sponsors.

I hope it is okay to post this here: The healing field will be a display of 5,000 flags at the Weber County Fairgrounds in Ogden, Utah, each with the name of a service member we have lost in the current conflicts. This is being hosted by Utah Gold Star Families and Mike's Guardian Eagle Foundation, which supports our veterans.They are in need of sponsors for the flags.

Colby's Number One Fan !!!I GOT MY FIRST REAL LETTER TODAY!!!!

Hooray!~I got my first real letter from Colby today! He must have written it on Saturday June 21, 2009 because the first couple of lines tell me he was so happy and that it made his day to talk to me that day and that Saturday was our first real phone call so I am sure it was on that day that he wrote it. It took until today to get to me though! He said he was doing ok and that it wasn't as hard as he thought it would be; but, again that was the end of P-Days so the sh*t hadn't hit the fan yet!… Continue

Lee's Mom Thanks to all

Thank you all you Navy Moms. I just joined and am very glad to have support from other Navy Moms. I am visiting my son and his family in Washington state. He will be leaving soon on his aircraft carrier. I am so proud of him. And I am so proud of all our men and women in uniform. My husband is a former marine. It seems to be a family joke that our son joined the Navy. But I'm glad he did. Happy 4th of July to all of you. Continue

There will be no winnings for your correct predictions, just the knowledge that you are right. My dad predicts Independence Day. I predict July 5. Daddy says July 3. Mommy wants it to happen right now. She's not maki… Continue

janie picking orders

My son in law has picked orders twice. Both times he has been denied all of his picks, apparently they can't afford to move them back to the east coast.why did they move them to the west coast in the first place if they are that bad off money wise. He gets to pick orders 1 more time if denied all picks again they pick for him. Why?. Don't get me wrong i LOVE being a NAVY MOM! I support our troops 100%. anyways i just needed to vent. if anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know. Continue
