Dear Members: Since our loved ones are allowed to have a religious necklace we chose to go with the following from James Avery:

it also comes in gold

Both are very resonable in price and symbolize faith and hope. Can't wait to give it to John for Christmas!:-)
They also have this great charm that I made sure to get as soon as we found out John was in:

this also comes in gold and reasonable in price. I wear this charm daily as a display of how proud I am of John and the Navy.

Michelle: I showed John the pics you posted of Craig and he got a huge smile on his face. Something to look forward to since we're from Texas where we very rarely get snow. However this past week we did get a preview of the snow as we had some snow flurries during P.T. but nothing stuck to the ground and by the afternoon it was 65 degrees.

Sorry for so many posts in a row LOL but...
Moonblossom looks like they are religious but alot of them dont look so religious more Navy, Mariner related....If you are interested look at the web site you may be able to find one for your son as well....

Here is a little info on the Mariners Cross

The Mariners Cross is also known as St Clements Cross
More information can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Clement_I

Gayle...and other members...here is a website that will show many different Mariners Crosses...The one I got for Craig was small and the anchor was gold with a silver wheel, also it had Jesus on the anchor part...This website has many many different crosses some are very expensive and others are more affordable...Thought you might if nothing else get an idea of what you were looking for :)

Moonblossom, good behavior and team work equals time at Ricky Heaven :D...They may get some time to go and eat at the restaurants and play some games or shoot pool...Craig was Specops so they didnt get to go but one time :(...they are a little harder on those guys...but even if they only get one time it would be worth it to be able to quickly pay for some food on someone elses dime ROFL...Ricky Heaven is two very large rooms...One has a bunch of eating places like KFC, Pizza Hut and so forth...and the other room is full of video games, pool tables and such...OH there is another room that is full of phones LOL....During this time they can eat, play, and/or talk on the phone...it is something they ALL look forward to :)

Thank you for the information on the necklace....It is so pretty, religious and patriotic that I just fell in love with it as soon as I saw it!

Angie...LOL it almost looks like you can see his teeth in that mask ROFL...I ask him if he was still enjoying all the snow and he said yeah except when the wind makes his eyes water and when he closes them they freeze shut with in seconds ROFL...What is going to be bad is going from -16 wind chil factor to 65-70 daily normal temps here in GA...He will be sick before he is here 3 days...Guess I will have to stock up on some VitC before he gets here and give him one at the airport LOL

Noelsnavymom...enjoy the time you have left and dont worry...Read this from the discussion topics..I think you will find it very very helpful. :)

Michelle, the cross that you got for Craig is called a Mariner's Cross. (I sell Jewelry.) My son is not religious, but if he were, I'd get him one too.

I have a question: I read on here a few days ago a suggestion for gift cards for the eateries at the Nex. Do the recruits get to eat there? I had not imagined that they would get to eat there during Boot Camp. Thanks!

I can't believe 40 days actually 39 from what I understand he goes to MEPS on the 39th and spends the night and then we can all go to MEPS together for the swearing in. SO, I'm getting a little I don't know what kind of feeling!

Hey, it's Frosty, the Sailor man! (Hmm, think I just got my cartoons mixed up! LOL) At least he still has a big smile on his face, maybe it got frozen in place! :)

Arwen, GREAT discussion topic, thanks! Glad to see that Michelle has chosen to feature it.
