Florence, glad to see you are doing better and able to converse with us...hang in there...it will get better. Cecelia, you too... we're all praying for you as well. Jan, how are you doing???? Have a good day tomorrow everyone.
At least turkey, dressing, and potatoes are soft to eat Uli! I feel your pain...been there...done that! Kristine, when you said "implants"...I thought "WHAT???" until I read further! hahaha
Eaglemom, remember that everything is "tentative" as to grad-n-go. Navy plans can change overnight. Grad-n-go is never cut and dried until graduation. And then sometimes he won't "go" until several hours afterward...or right away...or sit at an ai...
Wendyloo, when you say it's hard to believe that she's been in for 6 months already, I can't help but think of all the Moms on here and other groups that myself and other seasoned Moms have told exactly that...time really does fly. I know that new...
We had to put our 14 yr old rat terrier Dutchie to sleep this morning. What a way to start the day...and great for the depression! That's the 3rd dog in about 4 months...oh well, she's at peace now...and we will survive this again. Grandkids won't...
Oh, and everyone say a prayer for me...I have lost my recipe box. I can't find it anywhere...and I am so lost without it! I swear there are gremlins around here!
Oh no, it's a novel again! Sorry...you can imagine how long I'd talk if I came for "coffee" some time!
Welcome to all the new moms, you truly will be thankful you joined this site...but it has been pretty quiet lately since Gloria has been very busy and actually not feeling well today. She PM'd me and said her daughter had actually made her dinner ...
coco, I'm sorry to say that there is no special time that they will call. But rest assured that since you are really close to your son, he will call when he gets any chance to. At this point, all prayers help and in your prayers ask God to tell yo...
Lynn, Well at least they will be together. Remember us if they ever need to leave for the weekend to get away. Boy, my grandson is really going to be P-O'd as he was already getting ready to "play" with them. He's 9 and misses his Uncle Chris a bu...
My son has his checks deposited into his credit union account here. Not using the Navy one..but he uses his debit card from his credit union at the Navy Credit Union...works for him better since he has several auto payments coming out of his. So P...
I am not sure...but if you book a flight, make sure it is cancellable. If anything, I would make it one way only. I don;t know if Uli or Sue the Purple Pig would know or not? If I find anything out, I'll let you know.
My son says that they don't usually combine them. Since he is graduating, he is taking leave...that includes Christmas but the Holiday counts as a "leave" day and not "liberty". Chris is tentatively leaving the 17th, grad day, and it looks like he...
Profile Information
- About me:
- I have been married for 32 years to my husband Floyd who has been a Firefigher/Paramedic for 31 years. I have a 21 yr old son Andrew, 28 yr old married daughter Leslie who has a 9 yr old son Jordan and 8 yr old daughter Jessica (Jessie), and a son Christopher that will soon be 32 yrs old and just graduated from Great Lakes "boot camp" February 6, 2009. I was a police dispatcher before staying at home with my kids full-time and I have now been a School Bus Driver for almost 10 years.
Chris is now in HCorpsman A-School and is doing very well. Due to his grades he was made an EPO (Education Petty Officer) which is a tutor that helps others that are having problems passing tests. He is also an APO (Athletic Petty Officer) and he leads the PT drills. So I'm really proud that he is doing well. He should be at GL until about October.
- I am here to support or represent my:
- Son/Daughter
- Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
- Thinking about joining
- When I heard “Navy,” I:
- Was proud and encouraged it
- From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
- I have to trust his judgment and support his choices. I have to just put him in God's hands and use my faith to not worry about him. Because nothing is going to happen to him that isn't in God's plan for his life.
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Have your forgotten....
More importantly, I remember where I was when the World Trade Centers went down. I remember finding out that my father-in-law had dug the graves for the murdered Jewish people and never knowing this until after he died. He told my son, who is now in the US Navy Special Ops/Pre-EOD program at Great Lakes, about it so we would all know after he was gone. He was not proud of it, but he was so proud to be part of the American Forces to liberate the people who needed help and were being treated like… Continue

- Thank You so much Ruth,
I'm having to study to renew my paramedics license...I get side tracked and forget to check back... That's my excuse......it has nothing to do with the fact I'm getting older......really..... :)

I've been trying to get a hold on the slew of technical problems happening on the site. Ning has been pushing out lots of changes and I think they are impacting everything from duplicate postings, to email notifications, and even the ability to post or delete content. I'll be posting a big blog about this once I get some answers from them.
Thanks for the report and I hope we can have it all wrapped up and resolved before the end of the week!

Sharon P.M. said… - Good gosh Ruth - I need to be checking my page more often! Just found your post about Ruthella's son having to leave early - that just sucks! Remember I mentioned that a corpsman just back from the sand was at my brother-in-laws wedding? Well, he spent more than 1/2 the evening outside on the phone as one of his Marines was having a medical issue back at base. These young men certainly are counted upon to go above and beyond, bless their hearts.

Michelle (EOD Mom) said… - Ruth...Thank you I will call Craig tomorrow and let him know what you said...I think he is thinking military police if he dont make EOD...He has been thinking bout all of it...He said it already was a challenge and hopes to finish..This is the most challenging part of all of it and this is where they weed out most of them...Please send positive thoughts to GL...I think they all will need it :).

CathieRenee said… - Hi Ruth, I'm doing good and Troy is great! He is still overseas, but I get regular updates on him and his squadron. I did get to chat with him yesterday. I'm putting together a Halloween "goodie box" to send to him. Glad to hear Chris is doing well. Let me know if you need anything, I'm not that far away.
