Profile Information

About me:
I'm a 37 year old mom of 4! I work as a truant officer for a middle school, and love trying to keep kids in school to get an education. Married to a wonderful man who took on responsibilities of my older two children and has become dad to them.
I am here to support or represent my:
Child/Stepchild
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was concerned or afraid
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
To really listen to what he is saying and just be his cheer squad back home. They grow up so fast and all you can do is just be there.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Hey Darci, how are things going? You must be run off your feet with everything going on at home, and now the holidays coming up. Greg and Jill will be home for Thanksgiving. They have to drive almost 2,000 miles round trip for just a 3-day stay but Greg hasn't seen his dad in almost a year, since before Nick was diagnosed and he feels he needs to be here. He finally got his orders for squadron 12 and will be off in 2 weeks for a week's carrier training. So it looks as though he'll end up on a carrier when he finally gets deployed. I hope Marke is doing well, I'm sure he is. If I don't get around to writing again for a while, I hope you have a good Thanksgiving, well, as good as you can. We'll have a house full as Greg's sister and her family will be here too. It'll be giant turkey time.

Oh Darci my heart goes out to you and your family. In times like this there is nothing I can say but just know that if there is anything that you need, please let me know and I will help out in any way that I can. I will keep you, your dad and family in my prayers. You take care of yourself and touch back when you can.

Hey Darci, it has been awhile since I have talked to you but I did want you to know that there is another New York site, UPSTATE NY/NY STATE MOMS. On this site we are talking about getting together, just wanted to let you know so if you wanted to come along.

Hi Darci,
Sorry to hear about your dad, I know how hard it gets towards the end. My hubby is still hanging in there, he had his regular physical last week and everything seemed OK except his PSA test for prostate cancer was very high so the doc. wants to test him very 6 months. Then he sees the oncologist Dec. It would be ironic if he has prostate cancer as well as the myeloma. I mean, what else can go wrong! I, on the other hand, seem to be quite healthy, which is a good thing, because when the doc asked if Nick had any long term care arrangements I said "Yes, it's me."
Greg is still waiting for official orders. He's told that he'll be assigned to a certain squadron at SD but as we all know, if it aint in writing it doesn't count. He can't put in for the rest of his bonus until the orders are cut. I tell him "you're in a great place, you go surfing almost every day, you have a wife and a nice apartment and lots of friends.......be happy!"

Hi Darci,How is your dad doing? Sorry I haven't been on for a while but life in the fall is super hectic for me. Mike got released form the Navy last week and is now home. So Making Dr. Appt's to find out about the cyst and I guess there are some dead brain cells in the front of his brain. Probably trama based (snowmobiles and 4 wheels) So will know more later. But really need all the tests released from the Navy and that isn't so easy to get. Soyou are in my prayers and thanks Martha

Darci, it's me again. If you go to my page and scroll down to my photos, I've posted some from the FRAC graduation. Greg's 2nd from the left in most of them and that's Jill pinning on his wings (at least that's her back view).

Hey Darci, Greg finally graduated FRAC yesterday. They changed the date on him so many times we were beginning to think it would never happen. When he had his first flight he was so excited he said he couldn't believe the Navy actually paid him to have so much fun! Also, I made a mistake about his deployment date, he thinks it won't be for over a year. I thought spring of 2010 but he said more likely 2011 BUT, you know the Navy, anything can change, and probably will!

Hope your dad's doing OK. Hang in there.

I'm so sorry to hear about our dad, I'm glad to see that you are able to be with him it well help him, and your kids will make it they don't rember half the crap that goes on.
How funny Ash flew for the first time on Thur how wiered of that and he didn't call untill he was done he said it was the greatest ride, how fun for the kids. Ash was on cloud 9 all day. Now he wants to go to the east coast so he can go to eur, You know how well that went with me oh well I have to surport him I know it will kill me.
I have been working alot trying to keep the doors open, Vic willn't get out of his chair much and that dosn't help much he wants me to close the doors and I will not do it untill I can't make it work. so he will not help me at all.
Ash has a girl friend and will be here on the 14 of oct and she will live with us for afew months untill he finds out where he will go.
Trying to get readly for Vic birthday party on the 30 the big 50 with the band and about 200 people wish you could be here just to give you something else to think about and have a glass of wine with me.

Hi Darci, well the good news is that Greg's PSD is San Diego so he and Jill can expect to be there for 3 years. He was hoping to get an expeditionary squadron but they put him in a cargo squadron which means carrier duty, starting early 2010. Personally I think it sounds very exciting and I told him he should be happy he'll at least be based in San Diego....he could have got Guam!

So sorry to hear about your dad. I know it must be hard for Marke being so far away and not being able to do anything about it. I know what I went through with my own father, he had kidney failure and was on dialysis for 5 years before he decided he'd had enough and quit the dialysis. He died 3 weeks later but it was on his own terms. I was always thankful for that.
