I am traveling down to Louisiana to work for the winter, When I told my son that I was doing that he informed me that on his way to his duty station he was going to reroute his trip so he could come home for a day to see me so I told him that i would not be here. I was very sad. So for weeks I have been kinda depressed thinking that my one and only son was going to come home and I wouldn't even get to see him. Then he called me today and told me that he did some checking and discovered that…

My Son made it home for Christmas with us it has been at least 2 years since we got to spend Christmas together what at Blessed Christmas we all had Thank You Jesus

My son has been inboot camp 3 weeks and i have had no phone call and only 1 letter.  I have written 2 or three times a times a day does this seem normal... Iam getting worried..

I had finally got my daughter to get over the fact her brothers wouldn't be home for Christmas and we were having Christmas when low and behold our oldest boy shows up Dec 1st.  Then as I was sitting there telling my hubby I was going to mail our son in the Navy his presents Monday morning our oldest son comes in and says the neighbor wants to talk to us.  I am thinking great as I sit here in my pj's.  I look up as the door opens and just start crying because there stands my son in his dress…

We rec'd our computer letter with our son's grad date and guest list. my son left off his brother who is 9 he put my husband and me and his aunt and uncle but left his brother off. His brother will be so upset if he does not get to go. I am not sure what to do. If someone could please help me. I am sure my son did not know how to do this . But I need to have my son added by feb. and I have not spoken with my son for 3 wks , so i am not sure he realizes that he left him off. Please someone…

My daughter left on December 8th for boot camp.  I received her box and the graduation letter with a small note.  I was really hoping for a phone call around Christmas even though I was sure it wouldn't come.  she said she like it very much and it was a great decision but I still want to hear more.  Just waiting patiently and preparing for February 10th graduation.  I am so proud of her.

I was in such disbelief that I was actually talking to him on the phone earlier this week. I even questioned him I was so unsure hahah. I guess that's what happens when I haven't heard his voice for several weeks to where I almost forgot what he sounds like.

It was such an amazing call, even though it was only 20 minutes long. Being able to talk to him was the best feeling I've had in a while. He sounded sooo happy, which made me feel so much better. I think I lost track of…

My Sailor showed up on the doorstep as our family was sitting down to dinner tonight.  Yesterday I was quite puzzled by his lack of communication and had to leave a tearful voicemail for him; turns out he traveled from Pensacola to Portland Oregon, then home to Iowa today.   He is so thin! So sure of himself! Handsome and funny.   My dad the retired Navy veteran was with us when our sailor arrived at the door.  Never have I seen a grandfather so relieved as today. Words failed me and all  I…

I miss her so much. This is the first time my husband and I have been separated from our baby (middle child) on a Major Holiday. Opening up gifts without her just seemed weird. We had a blessed day but it was not the same. I wish her will and want her to succeed. My daughter is the most talented, gifted young lady I know. She could have been a model, singer(went to High school for performing Arts) or actor, but she chose the Navy...OH Boy.. I admire her courage. Just what the navy wants. Dad…

If you got a phone call today from your SR from one of these divisions and they said they spent the day in Indiana, we had the pleasure of hosting your SR!! Photos are awaiting N4M approval. I hope that some how that getting that phone call helped make your Christmas away from your SR a little better.…

He called today. He is waiting on approval of his leave. He has requested Dec 30. He sounded a little sad today. He went somewhere with the other members of his group this afternoon, so at least he had something to do. Praying for approval.  Merry Christmas everyone.
