Mary, I have sent an RSVP, but I'll respond here too just in case. I'm coming and bringing a friend so there will be 2 total. I had to make sure also about the time since we are coming from the Memphis area. The dinner is 5pm Chattanooga time (eastern time zone) right? That will be an hour later than us. I don't want to be late...LOL :)

Hey Ladies, just a reminder that dinner is at 5 pm in Chattanooga on Thursday with MCPON West. If anyone would like to join us, please let me know asap as we need to tighten up the headcount for his office and the restuarant. Thank you.

Great to hear that, LeAnna! Wow, I know how you feel........so happy for you and so glad you were able to go! We need to get together soon!
And welcome to the journey, Nicola, we're all in this together. My first sailor joined in 2002 (then #2 in 2006). Sometimes it's a bumpy ride, but you have a lot of support along the way. And don't worry about your son - he will be so busy... and before you know it, you'll be making the trip like LeAnna just did!

Hello, Nicola I live in Murfreesboro, but work in Franklin.. I just got back yesterday from Chicago for my son's PIR. You were right Cathy it was WONDERFUL! We had so much fun, and he stood so tall, and proud. I have alot of wonderful pictures.. And yes he was different, all in good ways!

Hello, I have just joined Tennessee moms. My son left for bootcamp on June 7.He will actually get there today the 8th. THis morning he goes through MEPS again and then on to Chicago this afternoon. It was so hard saying good bye for now. I have never cried so much yesterday. I know what I'm feeling is nothing compared to what my son is going to be going through in the coming days and weeks. I can't wait to get that first phone call! Anyone else from the Spring Hill area?

Welcome new Tenn moms! So glad you've joined us! Mary in Bristol, my sailor#2 has a friend (also a corpsman) who has a sister at ODU.
My exciting news: My sailor#1 is traveling later this week from Seattle area to Maryland for sailor#2's frocking! They've never been together in uniform, so this is a first! I have made it clear to both that I need pictures!

Welcome Carol. I'm from the Memphis area too (Collierville actually). My son joined in December and is now in Bremerton, WA assigned to the USS Abraham Lincoln. We talk to him several times each week, but miss seeing him. What is your daughter's rate? Does she know yet where she will be stationed?

Sherri & Marlo - It is good to see fellow northeast TN moms! I live in Bristol! My daughter Keri will enter Old Dominion University in NROTC this fall. This is a great site and everyone is so willing to help each other.
