Not that I know of. However, you might want to try Priceline.com I got a great deal when I went to see my son's graduation. I'm in Texas and paid only $265 for flight and hotel for four days.

Hi Dema,

I just wanted to encourage you, it will be fine. Have your sailor speak to his chaplain and encourage him but please be firm and remind him of his committment if need be. He'll be fine, more than likely just venting to the one person who will let him and not judge him harshly. blessings to you and your sailor.

if you assure him its the right chose and just tell him to look forward to traveling the world he will forget all about the grulling work at school

Welcome to Navy for moms, here you will find people who have or are feeling the same way you do, and asking the same questions you are. We have a few “ole timers” who have multiple kids in the armed service, their education and experience is invaluable.
If you haven't stopped by the how did you find us thread, please do. Many, many moms have been there and are doing the same thing. There are even delayed entry moms on the site. New Moms read first discussion will fill you in quick about those frequently asked questions about bootcamp if it applys to you.
The general forum has some great comments and discussions. Feel free to add to the comments, or create your own. The moms have an empty nest group and discussions that has been a great help too many, and they get a little silly sometimes
There are groups, on the main page on the left. Boot camp is really popular but there are other groups some based on graduation dates, jobs, states, ships and other interests. You will fit in anywhere you chose; we are a nice bunch here.
.
Personalize your page, there you can share (or not) photo, your other interests. Share what you are comfortable sharing. Remember this is a public forum. There is an email function on the top left of your page, and an add friend feature. The message spot is here and to reply to me, hit the back at the bottom of this message box, and it will take you right to my page. There is a blog that you can use to share your feeling, thoughts, stories, art, everyday stuff or what not. If you need anything just asks.

When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was concerned or afraid
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
My son is now past "A" school. He is in Advanced Electronics and Fire Mition Contron. He is a growning FAST young man! But he still moma's boy!! Don't tell him I said that. haha
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

You have given me lots of advice to tell him. Thank you so much. And NO I do not want him to do somehting bad and get him discharged. I will do what I can to keep his hopes up and move forward.
