My son got 4 tattoos! BUT he is a great artist and designed all of them himself. They are discreet and coverable, as far as the Navy is concerned. While I am not happy with his decision, they DO look kinda cool! (I'm an artist myself and appreciat...

What exactly are the regulations for getting a tattoo in the navy? My fiance wants a tattoo (and so do I), but I wanna make sure its something that won't interfere with anything. He wants one on his arm, not sure where though...what would be the b...

Ok I really don't wanna sound like a jerk, but if your son/daughter is in the NAVY then you should not be trying to tell them what to do anymore. Maybe its just me and I am interpreting what I am reading wrong but it seems like you think that they...

It is just awful. I forgot about the meet n greet and so did not go! I feel so badly about it and have apologized to the lady who started it but she is not talking to me. I guess I don't really blame her, especially if no one else came, but I don't know about that.
My Sailor is doing OK. He's in A school down in Goose Creek SC and expecting to graduate in June. Then he still has Power school and then Prototype to go through before he gets to the fleet. That will be exciting for him I'm sure.

So your daughter has already been out and will be coming home soon? Wow! I would be excited too! She's doing well. That is good news.
If I can contact the lady who started the meet n greet and get her to agree to meet with me I will certainly let you know. She lives in Stanley which I believe is near Luray so not too far away. It was great to hear from you.

Hi Carol. There is going to be a N4M Meet and Greet right in Harrisonburg on Sunday, March 29th at O'Charlie's. It is posted but not showing up unless you click the see all. Sure hope that you can come. It would be fun to meet someone who lives so close.

Nice hearing from you Carol! I can't believe your little girl is on a big ole boat already! yes, time goes by fast. Does she get to email you from the ship? So wonderful that you were able to have so much time with her during and after the holidays. Kyle is in ATT School now until March...I think. Hopefully he'll start A school immediately after. But his A school is at least 6 months and then he does some more ATT school before heading to C school! My goodness, it'll be awhile until he sees the sea. LOL. He is soooo ready to get out of that cold weather in Great Lakes. He is hoping he'll be out of there before winter hits again next year. His C school will be San Diego or Virginia. We are hoping San Diego. It's 5 hrs. from here, but if it's VA, maybe I'll come see you! :) Anyways, hope your year is starting out good and keeps going strong. Much happiness to you! Beth

Hey, Carol
How is Courtney doing? Did she get to come home for Christmas? How are you holding up?

Hi Carol! How have you been? Did Courtney finish school now? What's next? Bet you can't wait to go get her. One week!!!! Kyle can't wait to see his friends and to show off his new physique to "the ladies"...that kid. :) He still is on hold for A school. he cleans a lot! ha ha...that is so funny to think of. But he is better now. They never did figure out what his pain was, but at least he is better now. Hope all is well. Happy holidays!!! Beth

She is so cute, I am glad I looked at all your pictures because they all look alike in the graduation pictures. You must be so proud. Nancy

She really doesn't mind A School not starting till Mar. She said she is fine with collecting a paycheck, someone paying all her bills, and just going to classes. She's so easy going so it doesn't matter to her. How far a drive is it from Va to Ms? It is about 9 hours from here to where KC is. I already went there to visit her the week after she got there. Do you have to take Courtney back after Chirstmas leave? KC is going to try and buy a car while she is here so I may not have to!! Happy Holidays, laura

PIR experience

WOW!! What a beautiful thing to behold! You can read posts and watch video after video but you have to EXPERIENCE to understand just how fabulous it is.
After driving 13 hours to Chicago we were needless to say exhausted. We had reservations at the Navy Lodge and just on a hunch inquired see when we could check in ( it was about 0730) they were nice enough to find us a room so we could rest awhile. We then rode around and explored the area. We must have drove past the front gate like 20 times ju… Continue
