This is great advise. I wish I had an area to do scrapbooking. Maybe my husband will be able to finish the garage off this summer and I can have a small corner!!

Profile Information

About me:

My son, Matthew went into the Navy in August of 2005 and is currently stationed in Washington state with his wife Jennifer. They will be there for 4 more years and we miss them terribly but know that is his dream to be on a balistic sub. My husband and I also have 2 daughters living at home, 18 and 16 years old.

I am here to support or represent my:

Child/Stepchild

Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?

Enlisted

When I heard “Navy,” I:

Was concerned or afraid

From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:

To be supportive of him.

Through this Navy experience, I now believe:

It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

He was shipped out a week after arriving to meet with his ship...USS Chung Hoon! :) I am glad he was as he was able to experience sea life and meet his unit and shipmates and experience part of the deployment prior to returning to hawaii.. he seems to be doing great and settling in....
they just got back from another short exercise...

I do know of the school and they have an excellent program...I see students at CMC all the time. I dont' really know the instructors there...but, I am happy to answer any questions from you or your daughter.....tell her to email me at my gmail address ...marialice.gulledge@gmail.com....I will then give her my phone number and we can chat whenever! :)

At 9:30am on June 28, 2009, Sue said…: Hi, Christine-Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I was on vacation (first NY and then Florida) Anyway, your son should have an email address to communicate to him. Is he on the gold crew? My son is on the blue crew and will be going back out sometime in the next month. What kind of info were you looking for? When our son is out we email him but very rarely get one back. Sometimes the email gets out sometimes not. I know it's not very comforting but communication isn't very good while on the sub. I do know that if there is an emergency the Red Cross will help. (hopefully there won't be!). I don't feel like I've been a lot of help to you, but hang in there and know we're here for you. Oh, I believe you can also go to the USS Kentucky website (google it as I can't remember what it is) and get info on the boat itself. You can't leave messages or anything but it will give you info on the sub. Good Luck to your son and remember we're all here! (It's hard but it does get easier!)

At 6:17am on June 19, 2009, Christine Greenwood said…: Hi Sue , My Son is new on the USS KENTUCKY. Do you know how to get any kind of information? He is only 19!! He has verry little time to communicate with us.. thanks Chris

At 3:15pm on January 11, 2009, Marialice - Zachs mom said…: Oh!...i work at CMC - the main hospital down town. My husband works urgent care with CMC....here in Huntersville. So, we both work a lot of weekends. He works every other weekend and I work every 4th weekend....(we work week days too! :) I work 4 - 10 hour shifts/ week and my husband works 12 hours shifts....he works 2 on, 3 off, 3 on, 2 off, and rotates.....etc, etc....blah blah blah....we have both worked full time at CMC since moving to Charlotte area when mike retired from the Army....which has been 12 years now! yikes! Time flys! Ha!

At 3:08pm on January 11, 2009, Marialice - Zachs mom said…: Hi Sue! I think I know which one you work at! Is it located off Independance Blvd? I have been there a time or two on my going or coming home from Myrtle Beach! :) I love Michaels! I have started scrapbooking a little....and have gotten all my supplies there ! I am also a big fan of all the Martha Stewart selections! :)
I am so excited for PIR at end of month! I am making the boys a scrapbook from infancy until now ....with key photos from when they were little and growing up....for graduation gifts from basic training.

Photos of your son and daughter in law are beautiful! I know you are so proud of them! :)
I am excited to meet you and we will plan to car pool together for a moms event when we are both off! :)

At 4:04pm on January 9, 2009, Marialice - Zachs mom said…: Hi Sue! I am also working....our schedule is already out...too much to switch shifts...especially given that I am going to be off on Jan 30 for PIR! :) Not to get too personal....but, working every other weekend sounds like either retail or the medical profession! I am also a weekend worker...and so is my husband! If not to forward of me....where do you work at? Maybe we can try again next month! :) Thanks again! Marialice
