OOh, an online navy mom baby shower? That sounds cool. And I'm not sure that she's made many friends yet, but she might by May. Yes, my D-in-L is expecting.

Thank you, Sue. She's in Gulfport with him and I think will stay there. She has a young son, who my son is adopting, but this baby is my son's first baby. Sending her things is a good idea. I'll follow suit. I know she's really homesick right now. N…

Sounds like they are changing his deployment from 6 to 9 months and shipping him out in May. His young bride isn't taking it well, so if you want to spare a good thought or prayer for Mark and Chelsey, that would be awesome.

Okay, I'll hold on to them until you have an address for me. My boy deploys again in August, the same time his baby's due.

Okay, I need a count of how many are going to be able to make it so I can reserve a table at Mimis. Please respond.

When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was proud and encouraged it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
To be supportive in every way I can. Whether it is Navy bumper stickers on my car, or displaying my son's photo in my classroom, or just encouraging him in everything he does, I support him. I save the worrying for behind his back.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

I'm doing better. Just kinda . . . empty. Still worried about son. The funeral is Saturday and we are going down there this evening. Mom's obituary ran yesterday in the Kingman Daily Miner. My step-dad had me write it. I will check in soon. Thank you everyone for your prayers and condolences. Continue

Hi Kellypen,
How are you doing? I'm anxious to be able to see my son sometime soon! How about you? To them it probably seems like time just crawls. To me it seems sometimes like it flew by and sometimes it took forever to go by!

Hello Kellypen, I read your post your son was in Africa for deployment is he still there? My son is also getting ready to deploy to Africa have so many questions may qustions.. If you wouldn't mind would you please tell me what were you able to send him? How long was he there? I just have all these feelings and feel so sad he'll be gone for the holidays.

how long have they been gone? you must be so excited to have him back on "home ground" What is the batallion like? How many are in it? What do they do? What is Gulfport Mississippi like? Sorry for all the questions just wanting to learn as much as I can. Does the navy for mom's have a "group" for NMCB11?

Hi, my son graduates A school in Missouri on Aug 14th and has been assigned to NMCB11 homeport of Gulfport Mississippi. Do you have any information on this batallion? I understand they will be coming home in August? That is great news and then they will be stateside for a bit?

I was just reading your blog. I lost my mom in Goodyear, AZ (near Phoenix) Dec. 07. Derek was out on a short det on the Reagan and the Red Cross got him home for me. I learned a lot about myself and really grew after losing my mom. She was one of my best friends so it's been hard but I had to get something positive out of it and so I did.

Yes, right now Derek has facebook and the ship is allowing them to access it. I will pm you his last name.
