Marianne, from what I've been reading, you got clobbered with a helluva big snowstorm. I think we got an inch or so yesterday - easy. Jake took off last Monday, and he has been having a blast. It took him two days to get to Denver area. He spent thr…
Hi. For anyone who has Sailors coming home for the Holiday, my prayers and best wishes for safety. My Sailor is on the road, headed for CA. So far, he is doing great - fun snowboarding in CO. My wish for all of you is for a peaceful and loving Chris…
Your photos are spectacular! Thank you for sharing.
He gained 30 pounds in boot camp!!?? My son gained about 13, and I thought that was a lot. Will you be able to attend his PIR?
Wow! That is really a bummer. I went to Pensacola just a few weeks ago. I had reserved at the Navy Lodge. When I checked in, I was allowed to check in and go to my room. They just told me that my sailor had to sign me in at some point that day. Turn…
Congratulations! Isn't that a good feeling?
Welcome, Dawn! My son just graduated from AS school in Pensacola the day before Thanksgiving. He's now on his way to his first duty station in Point Mugu, CA. He's stopping to do a bit of snowboarding on the way.
Ah, Jake is planning to leave tomorrow. He wants to have plenty of time to drive from Michigan to California, and have a bit of time for some snowboarding on the way. It's been great having him here. My grandson got to see his hero. But Jake is read…
I agree. I've been a mom for 24 years. Attending my son's PIR was the most rewarding moment of my life. If your son is leaving the day after PIR, you will be to spend the whole afternoon with him. I think they need to be back by 8:00 P.M. If you can…
I think I'm kind of on the same page with Anti M here. My son enlisted after graduating from a tech school, and went in as E-3. Just remember, you don't have to decide right away. Explore your options. It's not like the Navy will go out of business.…
Joanie, that is cool that Tyler will be able to spend the holidays with you. I hope he gets to pick a good duty station. Jake is really excited to start moving to CA.
Oh, Marianne, that has to be pretty scary for you and Tim. I'm happy to hear that he is doing better today. I sure hope he is feeling good when he gets to come home in a few weeks. I wonder if our "Blizzard" is headed your way. It didn't amount to m…
Hi, everyone.
Jake left Pensacola last Friday, is now home on leave, and also has to report to his new command Christmas eve. He's going to Point Mugu, CA. The time has gone by really fast, but I'll bet it's gone faster for our sailors.
Sally, that is awesome - petty officer and sailor of the year! Ginny must be very happy. How long has she been in the Navy? We have a blizzard warning going on here in Michigan. So far looks like only a few inches of snow, but it's very windy. Jake…
Hi, I'm Cindy. My son recently finished A school and is on leave right now. His rate is AS. He will be reporting to Point Mugu, CA in a couple weeks.
I just returned from Pensacola. I stayed at the Navy Lodge there for five days. The room was adequate, however the view from my room was spectacular. It's right on the ocean. The staff there was friendly and helpful. There is a fridge and microwave…

AdamsMom said… - Sorry, I left you a brief message on the friends request. So the story is that my son sold the womans phone because he did not know it was stolen. A younger girl gave him the phone at school. Later that day my son sold it on Craigslist. A man from a city about 20 minutes away from here bought it. Then the woman whom it belonged to called it and told the man to bring it back or she would call the police. Now it's been about 2 weeks later and my son said he saw a man speaking to the woman at school(the woman whos phone it was works at the school, which is how the younger girl stole it) So he said he thought it was an officer, he wasn't in uniform though. Just had a notepad, pen, and dressed in a black suit. The woman who it belongs to has the phone now, but was talking to this officer about it and giving him full details of what happened. I do not know why she is bringing it up since she got it back, but I'm just curious if he will be arrested or sent to jail for a long period of time. Any help is great. Thank you so much. I'm sorry that it is very off topic, but he just got back and already we have a problem. He is always very responsible.

- Hi Cindy, So happy to add you. I see you are already active on the site and that makes me soo happy. I think that first year or two can be such a stressful time for the parents. Funny, because that seems to be the period of greatest change for our kids! And they seem to come thru that time period so much the better! lol! Us? Well, who's counting the grey hairs at this point???
Love and Prayers,
Beverly

jboysmom said… - Hi Cindy,
My son is AS and I'm wondering if he is in class with your son. My son's name is Jacob and I see from your page that your son is Jake. I'm going to send a friend request for you so that I can send a personal message to you and we can exchange more information about our sons to find out if they are in class together.Look forward to hearing more from you.

Jordan's Mom said… - Hi Cindy,
Thank you for your note on my blog. You really said a lot of great things! I have raised my son to be a confident, strong young man and it is very gratifying to see him so excited about making this step. As I said, he's known he's wanted to be in the Navy since he was 10 years old so this is most definitely his dream come true. My comment about not being able to be there for him in time of danger is more a "me" thing... while I definitely don't ever want him to be a Momma's boy as you put it (and Lord knows, haven't we seen enough of those? lol) or to be dependent on me, I can't help but feel a strange sense of loss some how and a bit of fear. I know its all me... and something I'll just need to adjust to - its another step in the "letting go" process is all.
Best of luck to your sailor!!! What will he be doing after A School?
Thanks again for your note! Hope you have a great, blessed day.

- I'll let you know how it goes! I just recently finished my summer job, and I was ready to head home for California to spend time with my mom and siblings before having to ship out from the east coast, but because of the accident, I've been searching for another part-time job - that way, I have money to pay for the fine. Fortunately, today, I have an interview.

Oh my goodness ... of course I was sober! I would surely be done for! Not just with my Navy career, but I do not want to imagine what my dad would do. 0_0
