Drew too is ABH! I agree with so many of you on many counts! High school for BOTH of us was endless! I got a call one week before he graduated from a teacher who told me it would be a shame that he wasn't able to graduate with his class because he...

Hello Long Lost Friends!! Wow, what a year this has been...I've not been on here in forever! August 28 was Drew's 21st Birthday and we (of course!) had a party planned here at home on his leave. Well my brother was picking up my mom on the way and...

I would do the same as the dad, a promise is a promise and I too, would worry that if I took it down before my son came home something would happen. The neighbors can certainly hang in for a few more days...

Hey, I'm back, with a million dollar question! Does anyone know what mailing address we would use now for our sailors now that they are back? I need to mail Drew's car insurance card (can't believe we forgot it!!). I did scan it and send a copy in...

From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
Accepting this decision and exploring all I can about what his life in the Navy will involve. This has been quite a learning experience! Information is not easily obtained! Thank goodness for this site! Drew has changed so much in these few short months! He loves the Navy and is so happy with his decision to enlist!

Hi Libby, sorry it took me so long to get to your page and tell you how much I enjoyed meeting you. Hope you had as much fun at homecoming as I did. Wish we could have gotten our sailors together, but I know that would really have been a mission impossible. Maybe some other time.

Did you ever get an answer to your question about mailing addresses? I just now saw it above in your activity section. Rob told me that whether they are in port or out their mailing address remains the same. So it would be his name, dept and division, USS Eisenhower and the FPO #s.

Hi Libby, haven't seen you on the Ike pages lately. Hope all is well and I know you can't wait for homecoming. I just posted info about a get together after the FRG night before party in the discussion section on the Ike pages. Check it out and I hope you can join us. I look forward to meeting my Ike family friends and toasting the end of this deployment.

Wow Libby!! That sounds great!! I am so happy for Drew!! Sounds like he is doing so well. I know you are proud!! Jason just graduated A school last Thursday & has been home. It's great to see him!! He also got stationed in Norfolk!!! He is excited about that, he was born in VA & I spent 22 years there!! We moved from VA to Florida when Jason was in 6th grade! He has to report there by the 19ths. He is then going to Nevada for a few weeks with his squad & then back to Norfolk. He is assigned to the USS Truman. He also got married over Memorial Day week-end!! So his wife will join him in Norfolk, probably in Sept (after he is back from Nevada & finds a place for them!). So he is happy & doing well. I'm not sure when we will go up to visit, maybe Thanksgiving or Christmas. We'll see. It's about a 10-11 hour drive!
I'm so happy you gave me the update!! Please keep in touch!!

Morning Libby, How are you? My son started some classes last Sat. (Ithink 5/23) He told me they were some meet capt. and other people, too. My younger son and his uncle are going on the TC, just emailed there forms out 2 days ago. He called me this morning to let me know that he got them, but he still never received his package I mailed over a week ago.
What is your sons name, mine is Pete. Enjoy the weekend!! BYe

Hi Libby, My son graduated on Feb. 6 2009
and is also an ABH on IKE. I wonder if our sons know each other? That would be nice if they did. My son boarded the first week of May, and yours? You and me both trying to figure out all this new stuff we have to learn. It sure is interesting!

Hi Libby,
Was checking out Dianna's pictures on her page and saw your post. Sorry don't mean to be nosy! It can be overwhelming and scary sometimes with a new sailor. My son, Rob, has been in the Navy almost 3 years now. The Ike is his first assignment and he joined them mid deployment in March of '07, so I know what you mean about all the questions. Let me know if I can help you in any way. This site is great for info, but sometimes we assume that people know things when they don't - so don't be afraid to ask. Hang in there - we're here for you.
Hugs,
Kathryn

Hi Libby, sorry I didn't get right back to you. Boy, your head must be spinning! I cannot even imagine all that happening since the first of the year. I hope you have gotten the answers you need to get signed up for the ombudsmen and frg. Let me know if I can help you in any way.
We are a very chatty bunch at times. But that is good because you find out a lot of information that way. They are a great bunch girls and guy I look forward to meeting them at homecoming. Again, if you need anything, just ask.
