Graduation Gifts

Does anyone know if we are allowed to give them a gift at graduation? If so, I need any ideas for my daughter going off to A school in San Diego.

Pat's tat

yea...he got a tat. it's a Sailor thing....has been for decades.
I have to admit that it's personal to him and so understand and think it's very cool.
It's the Clan badge for his last name. We Scots are proud of our heritage and
I'm proud that he chose THE Clan symbol.

Missing my son

Finally got to hear from my son for the first time in 3 weeks yesterday....so hard...I found out he doesn't get to come back home after bootcamp, he has to go straight to Pensacola, FL...so now his siblings wont get to see him, because only I can get out there for his graduation. Some days are harder than others, and his youngest brother was crying, they really miss him, he was such a strong force in this house, and like a father figure to them!
This stinks.

Correction to previous Blog.

Can't wait for PIR!! Yes, just a little excited!! I got to talk to her about 30 minutes ago. Her division won the Captain's cup and they were allowed phone time. She still sounds great! Can't wait to see her this coming Friday!!! Makes me want to cry big tears of joy that it's almost here!! 8 weeks without seeing one of your daughters and only being able to hear their sweet voice about 3 times during that time frame is a killer!! Made it through. I'm sure PIR will be a very emotional day for… Continue

My son just went to boot camp

My son left on Monday morning for boot camp. I just recieved his box of things (some kinda smelly) and I cried while looking at his dirty clothes... I just would like to make a few connections with a few moms just to share these feelings with. Joy sadness etc.... and does any one know how long it will be before they can send letters home? I have to wait until monday, tomorrow until the recruiter will be able to give me his address. I am just anxious and worried.

25 days until PIR!!

Well, time is getting closer to when I'll be able to see Nita, I can't wait!! She finally got to call last thursday, was soooo great to hear her voice. She sounds so much more mature and grown up since she left. She is sick right now with the crud but is hanging in there. She is really excited about all the stuff they are learning and all they are doing.

Anyone heard of Rhabdomyolysis?

My son was only into his 2nd week of bootcamp and was sent to hospital for what is called Rhabdomyolysis and i'm really worried. Not only is he away from home, but now in hopital with an IV and now will have to be set back for graduation which is not nearly as important than him getting well. I don't know how often or commin this is in bootcamp but i just would like to hear from anyone else that has experienced this. Thanks for your support.

Why I don't go in my son's room when he leaves for deployment

Before Jonathan leaves for deployment he brings home EVERYTHING... it usually takes me a few weeks to get myself together enough to go in to pack it and put it away until he comes homes... I swear I think that child has saved every card and letter that anyone has sent him since he left for boot almost 4 years ago. I being the stupid person I am cannot just go in and pack it up for him, I have to sit there and read every card I sent him... and I of course cry like a baby...

Well today was… Continue

What is living on base like during deployments ?

I was wondering if anyone knows which is better,living on or off base.?? My husband said that he doesn't want certain groups of wives to influence me to be unfaithful. He shared a few stories from the rdc's ,saying they claimed to be cheated on and that their wives were cheating on them during deployments. Because of that, Andrew is scared to live on base. So I would like to hear the womens side and hear another perspective from other military wives.

The Humorous Side Continues:Acronyms - New Moms BE PREPARED!!!

One thing about being on a site like this is that you get to speak with people who are in all different stages of their exposure to the Navy experience. My first two weeks with Chris away at boot camp were difficult at points emotionally. The first letter was upsetting and I waited and prayed that the next would be at least somewhat better. HOORAY! It came yesterday - written at the end of day 14 and my boy was feeling markedly different. He apologized for the negativity in his first letter and… Continue

The Day After Surgery=)

Well,Andrews surgery went pretty good. He was actually able to be up and around for liberty! People were saying he's crazy. But he says he is just alittle sore in the neck. He went out and got energy drinks and supposedly got me a surprise that he is going to mail sunday! yay. I sort of feel guilty that he wanted me to drive up there today and I can't. I still haven't got the oil changed in the car yet. But I Valentines weekend and spend it with him. My mom is taking time off work to keep… Continue

My Husband Before Bootcamp!!

*My brother suggested starting a thing where I talk about my Husband and how he was before Bootcamp, and how he will possibly change...this is going to be fun*



---Ways Bootcamp will probably change him---



1. Im not sure if he knows how to do laundry. Well, let me take that back. Im not sure he knows how to do laundry "correctly". Like how to sort by colors and what temp and cycle to use. I heard they do their own laundry there.

2. Im trying to imagine his face when… Continue

Email today!

I received an email from our son today (9:00am their time). Wahoo!! I was so excited. It didn't say much but he's still alive and kicking. Sounds like showers are very short. I have been sending a card everyday. I'll be glad when he can start opening them. I never heard which group he is in. I haven't received a formed letter yet either. Just waiting...Seems like this week went by so slow! I bet even slower for him. I'm saying prayers for all LOs and their families.

Very Nice Letter From Command Master Chief

Hello Ladies
I just thought I would let everyone know that I got a very nice " Thank You" letter from the Command Master Chief of the USS Chosin. It made my day. I am thinking about framing it. I loved sending the christmas cards I sent his crew.
