Melinda, Congratulations to your son for starting his Navy career! If you're going to PIR, you'll have the MOST WONDEFUL experience! My son (also a Matthew) PIR'd on February 27 of this year and he just graduated A school at Port Hueneme on Friday...

Hope your son does well there and graduates on time.

Hi Melinda!
Welcome to Jacksonville Navy for Mom's. You must be so proud of both your boys. My oldest son is currently in Pensacola finishing up with A school. We're not sure where he'll be heading next. My youngest son is a senior in high school. Don't think he's interested in the military so far.
I hope to meet you at the next luncheon. We live in the Fruit Cove area. Where part of Jax do you live in?
Have a wonderful day. Hope to hear from you,
Teresa

Hi Melinda, Interesting. My son is leaving Port H. and yours is just starting, LOL
I will get you that website when I get home to my desktop next week. Am visiting my aunt in TX right now.
My son is a Reserve tho wished he had signed up as Active. He is going to try to go Active but while waiting, he is going to do some mobilization/short term active duty. But we really don't know what will happen when he checks in with the Reserve duty station. Time will tell tho after next week.
Does your son like Port H.??? My son did.
Later, Carol
As for my puppy, he is a male Shih Tzu/Maltese mix. What kind of mix is your dog then? Do you have a pic of him/her??? I love our dog. He is great.

Hi Melinda,

I searched EVERYWHERE for a A school Port Hueneme group and could not find one, so I created one last night, LOL, and then I found you! Would love to chat about this. My SAILOR arrived at Port the last week of November, and classed up about two weeks ago. Have a great holiday! Shelia

Melinda,
my sons girlfriend is taking southwest and I was looking for a mom that wouldn't mind meeting up with her at the airport in midway because she is a little scared about getting to waukegan herself from there.we are staying at the ramada in wauk...and will get her on that end where ever the shuttle leaves her???and could also give you guys a ride from there also to your hotels they are all mostly in the same area. my husband and i can't fly because he suffered a collapsed lung(dive and rescue) and is not allowed. she is fine on this end from philadelphia because she works in our airport.anyway if it is not to inconvient could she maybe go with yous on the shuttle, or if you are renting a car from there i will pay for her 1/2. thank you Donna gerry's mom div 035 pir 12/19

Hi Melinda, just thought I'd address your questions from BC Moms:

yes, as soon as they move over to the "A' school side, they can have their cell phones, laptops etc. Phone calls home to wife and Mom will once again be a regular thing, though if you haven't learned to text yet, you may want to brush up! I had to learn. =)

Tell your younger son to not be discouraged. There are many jobs he can do that I'm sure will be fulfilling in the Navy. Nows the time to do his homework, do a little digging and asking of questions. Of course, it will depend on his ASVAB scores, the timing/fiscal year and "Needs of the Navy" which I'm sure as a former Navy wife, you are very familiar with. My condolences on the loss of your husband! Thank your boys for us for being willing to step up and honor their father and their country with their service. My son has loved being a Corpsman, it's very fulfilling and challenging,plus colorblindness is not a hindrance to doing that job. Just one possibility to check out. Best wishes to you and both your "boys". Happy holidays! :-)

Hi Melinda, You have a handsome son. Is that is wife? I am glad you other son is going to the recruiter. I sure hope it all works out for him. Keep in touch. Laura
