JCPDB (Ship 14 Div 276 PIR 8/13) RP - Seabee, Greenside, or Blueside?

My Husband is in his last few weeks of basic training and just had his interview with the Chaplain to be an RP, and everything went great. His (our) problem is he has the options of going Greenside with the Marines, or Blueside staying with the Navy, or going with the Seabee's. He was told he can make a request for whichever he wants, even though there are no guarantees. He (we) need(s) to know the positives and negatives of each option in order to be able to make an educated decision. Anyone wi… Continue

teachergirl Before they leave...

As I sit here writing this, I'm FB chatting my with my stepson, who's at his mom's. Asked him if it was okay I joined this, since I am the step mom. He said he was, "kind of touched and honored" that I wanted to. It's really started a great conversation and he knows how proud I am of him and how much I love him, even though I didn't bring him into this world. :-) Continue

Jordan'sKate Waiting...impatiently!!

I just finally heard from my sailor for the first time in a few weeks and it was so great to hear his voice but I can't keep thinking that it will be until November or December before I can really see him. I know that we will probably go for longer stretches apart than this but there have just been so many things going on for both of us that I wish we could physically be there for each other! I know all of you know how it is!

Dealing with chronic Lyme disease and being so si

My son, Micah, has been in A-school in Pennsacola since Febuary and is finally about to leave in 4 weeks. He's been through so much this summer and is really depressed. He's had a girlfriend there and just yesterday she dumped him because he only has 4 weeks left there. I tried to reassure him that there is someone out there that is more mature and able to handle a relationship (this girl was only 17). Someone meant for him. and then last week he found out someone stole his Navy Federal debit ca… Continue

AbbyBlue Heaven

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble... At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before i

darlene50 Thanks

Thanks to all of you who made me feel a little better. Right now he is having a party with his brother and friends. His brother arranged it for him, which is great. They are twins and sometimes even though they are total opposites I forget to ask him how he is doing in all of this. They have spent alot of time together these last few days. My son leaves on Thursday. I said good bye face to face this am. My husband , Dennis and son, Zachary will be with him until he leaves.

Sanman Videos of what are sailors are doing?

I have a friend that has a son in the ARMY, he just enlisted and has been in bootcamp for 3 months, she has been able to access a video and pictures on a web page that shows what they are doing and where they are in their trainings. She has been printing pictures of her son from these postings.

Does the NAVY offer this too? anyone know?

I'm aware they are a totally different branch/uniform but it's worth the search.

teachergirl Viva la difference!

Wow, it's so different preparing to see my step son go Navy in October, rather than college in August. My son, and my other two stepsons did college. I keep feeling like we should be shopping dorm sales! Instead, I'm learning. No care packages for quite some time is another big change. Colleges encourage one by September! Oh well, we're learning new tricks! No old dogs here. Continue

Navy_Sister14 (Ship04 Div292) We got our first letter today!!

I was super excited to see a letter from my brother in the mail today!! It was soo nice to hear from him.. eases my mind a bit. Sounds like he's doing pretty good and is staying optimistic. He said the people in his division are a "rowdy bunch" and that he is "no angel". Oh boy! lol. He said he has a few new "buddies".. and that they've really helped him get through the first couple of weeks. That makes me feel about 200% better about things. When he left, it was really hard to

KABUL, Afghanistan — Two Navy service members disappeared in a dangerous area of eastern Afghanistan, prompting a massive air and ground search and appeals on local radio stations for their safe return, NATO and Afghan officials said Saturday.
