This is where I was redirected for Support for Troops with the America Supports You site. On the right it has a link for writing the troops. I have gotten replies back, they DO read them! http://www.ourmilitary.mil/Message.aspx?SectionID=5

Hope everyone is ok. Hasn't been much activity on the site for a while. Everyone must be really busy with the holidays. Thinking about you guys. jane

Congrats Jane! At least you've had a reason for not being on. I've been dealing with family problems. Seems like I think things are settling down and they blow up again. Thanks for the hints about the fake candle. It's blue and shines just as good as a real one. I'm pleased Kay finally found out where she's headed. She's been in limbo for quite awhile.

Welcome Rivron2mom. I'm usually much, much, much better about sending out a welcome. I'm glad Jane knows what you are talking about! I have no clue.

To the rest of my Idaho Group friends, I hope you all had a very blessed Thanksgiving. We didn't have Morgan again this year. Getting used to him not being home for Thanksgiving. Christmas is a different story. First time in 21 yrs we won't have him home for Christmas.

Maybe we can get together again after the holidays are over?

Welcome, "rivron2mom" to the site. My husband was riverene back in the '70s and was on gun boats. Our daughter really wanted to transfer to riverene when the units were re-established but they won't allow women. I think my husband was very silently thanking God for that decision by the Navy! Sounds like your son is enjoying himself. Hope you find the site interesting.

Hey guys...would have posted sooner but for whatever reason my "follow" icon got clicked and I wasn't receiving emails. You know, sometimes its outta sight outta mind. Got to thinking today I hadn't heard from anyone so decided to check. Enough of that!!
I ended up getting a plug in fake candle (1.79 @ Walgreens) and blue light bulbs (2/$3-pack of 4 multi color- @ Walgreens) and put that in my window. There are also blue colored night light bulbs at Wally World and they keep them in stock all the time. So, my light is burning!
I passed statistics with a B. I was extremely happy. Now in health care informatics. Thats going OK for now.
Kay found out she will go TAD to the Naval Academy for 5 months beginning in January. She will take 3 courses there before she begins her pleb year. Since she has been out of high school for 5 years they are doing this to get her ready for the academic rigors. I know she will do fine. She is excited-as are we! My husband, Bill, will drive with her from Boise to Anapolis as she will be able to keep her car since she is TAD and not officially a midshipman. She'll return to Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor (current duty station) in May, process out, take leave then return to Anapolis in July. But, you all know the Navy. This is how it is today. Never know what tomorrow will bring!! Hope all is well with each of you.

Hi Everyone, my son is in the Navy currently in Iraq, He is attached to Riverine Squadron 2 Det 3 but will be back stateside sometime this month. My son has been in the navy approximately 6 years and just re-enlisted this year, he spent his first deployment on a destroyer stationed in Japan but met up with the ship in the gulf for the first 5 months, then he volunteered for GITMO and spent a year down in Cuba as a guard, from there he extended and joined the Riverine Squadrons and is currently finishing up his second tour in Iraq. He will be reporting to Great Lakes Training Center as a range instructor for 2 or 3 years then back to the Riverine Squadrons. I joined navy for moms not long ago and was browsing the groups and was glad to see one for North Idaho moms. We live in the Priest River area. My husband retired from the Navy in 1998. We are both very proud of our son and the man he has become.

Kristi thanks, exactly what I was hoping for. Jane I hope you read this as well. Woo hoo!
Kim Comment by Kim on October 30, 2009 at 4:38pm
Prayers going up for all that are involved. I took things for granted that all would be ok when my husband was active duty and now I cringe and my stomache twists and turns everytime I think that someones child, husband, wife etc may be hurting.

Hi Everyone. I haven't been in here for a long time but just wanted you to keep the families of the Coast Guard C130 and the Marine Cobra Helocopter that collided mid air last night off the coast of San Diego in your prayers. My younest son's ship was out doing training and is now involved with helping in search and rescue/recovery. ..... I hope all of you are doing good as are your sailors.
