Yes, good ideas all...Had a long talk with my Son & actually finding myself very proud of him right now. That is exactly what he is deciding to do as he really wants the Navy. He has a place to stay right now close to the Commons in Fed Way so he'...
Welllll....bad news for my son. He was told "no" for now because of some trouble he got into recently and even though was cleared in court, the commanding officer felt that Zac needs to work for 6 months and then come back. He has a hiogh ASVAB an...
Haven't heard anything yet, Dee. We only live about 10 minutes from MEPS so I let his recruiter know to give us a call when/if he gets through today and my Mom & I want to go down to take pictures of him swearing in. We're hoping that he will find...
Hi - I have actually found it to be the oppposite in our experience recently. My son has had to really try to get in as the Navy is being really picky right now on who is enlisted due to the economy. His best chance at a stable career is in the Na...
Hi All,
I'm new to the group and looking for other Seattle Moms to meet up with. My son Zac is going into MEPS today so we are all very nervous that things go well and hoping he will be sworn in on Saturday afternoon. We've been having a great exp...
Snoozymom: I am so sorry to hear about what happened today with Brian. I know you all are disappointed but hopefully whatever 'problem' he has with his eyes can be fixed. It didn't sound as if Lenscrafters even noticed?! I am beginning to see firs...
My son is going to MEPS next week. His recruiter has been great and really given us both an education on what to expect but after reading all these comments, I can see that we all seem to be nervous/anxious about the same things! The biggest worry...

- Great ideas! We will be meeting somewhere in Seattle for sure in September... Also there are moms from Arizona, Florida and Oregon heading our way in September. Some are coming for the 3 day walk for breast cancer and some are coming to cheer them on!
Sorry to hear that your sailor has hit a road block... remind him that even if he had been able to join he probably would have been on hold before leaving for boot camp. My son waited about nine months before his rate had openings...

- Thanks for the comment about my 'picture'... it is a favorite from PIR! Can you tell that I was the first one across the floor to grab my sailor? I was so proud of him and sure did not want to let go!

- Great that you have joined the WA/OR moms group! The Western WA moms do meet for brunch or lunch once a month. We have met in Lynnwood, Seattle, Tacoma and Puyallup... try to move the location from North to South so that it makes it convenient for all! We should be posting in the next week or so where we will meet next... any suggestions???

- Well to tell you the truth even if there are jobs available he will probably have to wait. I had to wait 8.5 months and a lot of people signing up now are having to wait up to a whole year! But Navy likes to get people going as fast as possible so it's possible he could ship sooner even if he is scheduled to leave a long time from now sometimes they will ship you out early. But not often.
Even if he doesn't ship for a year tell him to be happy with that. Because a lot of people are finding it hard to get into the Navy so I've been told by my recruiter to just be happy I have a ship date but I leave in less than 2 months now.

We are so glad that you are here! This is a great place to meet others that know exactly how you feel!
We have something for everyone here groups from boot camp moms to overseas moms and moms that like to scrap book. We have meet and greets to events that the moms set up to meet each other and have dinner or an outing. There are groups to help you with each and every step of this wonderful adventure that our children have chosen called the US Navy.
Please tell us about your sailor and what they have chosen to do in the navy and ohh yeah we LOVE pictures of everyone !!
Please let me know if you have any questions I can help you with.

My daughter, Ashley (20), has been in the Navy for 2 years and is an IT3 & my future son-in-law Tim has been in since Feb 2008 stationed on the USS Nimitz. What will your son be doing with the Navy? If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm glad you joined and look forward to hearing more about you & your recruit. Pat
