Good Evening and welcome new mom's. I am glad to see letters are arriving. On a somber note though I want to let you know that a week ago this evening we lost one of our on in a senseless shooting in Pensacola. The young lady was 18 years old and gr…
Thank You Jessica they all appreciate that as well as I do. The 13 weeks is a rumor even the recuiters are talking about hope it stays a rumor 8 weeks is an eternity as it is.
I received this in an E-Mail today and wanted to pass it along!
Okay, I need to rant.
I was just watching the news, and I caught part of a report on Michael Jackson. As we all know, Jackson died the other day. He was an entertainer who performed for decades. He made millions, he spent millions, and he did a lot of things that make him a villian to many people. I understand that his death would affect a lot of people, and I respect those people who mourn his death, but that isn't the point of my rant.
Why is it that when ONE man dies, the whole of America loses their minds with grief. When a man dies whose only contribution to the country was to ENTERTAIN people, the Amercian people find the need to flock to a memorial in Hollywood, and even Congress sees the need to hold a "moment of silence" for his passing?
Am I missing something here? ONE man dies, and all of a sudden he's a freaking martyr because he entertained us for a few decades? What about all those SOLDIERS who have died to give us freedom? All those Soldiers who, knowing that they would be asked to fight in a war, still raised their hands and swore to defend the Constitution and the United States of America. Where is their moment of silence? Where are the people flocking to their graves or memorials and mourning over them because they made the ultimate sacrifice? Why is it when a Soldier dies, there are more people saying "good riddence," and "thank God for IEDs?" When did this country become so calloused to the sacrifice of GOOD MEN and WOMEN, that they can arbitrarily blow off their deaths, and instead, throw themselves into mourning for a "Pop Icon?"
I think that if they are going to hold a moment of silence IN CONGRESS for Michael Jackson, they need to hold a moment of silence for every service member killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. They need to PUBLICLY recognize every life that has been lost so that the American people can live their callous little lives in the luxury and freedom that WE, those that are living and those that have gone on, have provided for them. But, wait, that would take too much time, because there have been so many willing to make that sacrifice. After all, we will never make millions of dollars.. We will never star in movies, or write hit songs that the world will listen too. We only shed our blood, sweat and tears so that people can enjoy what they have.
Sorry if I have offended, but I needed to say it.. Remember these five words the next time you think of someone who is serving in the military;
"So that others may live..."

Song lyrics | American Soldier lyrics Mother’s The Tree’s of Life! By Tammy Fregia Mothers are the trees of life, They are not just someone’s wife, They guide us down life’s winding trail, They pick us up and encourage us if we fail, They give of themselves and do for us without thinking why, They hold us close and comfort us when we cry, When God put them on this earth he created a strength in them to match no other, They take on all of our needs and woes, They are the ones God chose, So if someone poses the question what is The Tree of Life, It is not a father, sister, brother or wife, The answer is like no other, It is my friends your MOTHER!
Just The Other Day By Tammy Brown-Fregia This is dedicated to my N4M’s Family
Just the other day I found a new family, My new family is large and from all over the country you see, They are unique this new family of mine, We are a family that come together online, It is a very special bond we share , This family of mine from everywhere, You see we all come together to support each other, Be it we are a wife, girl friend, grandma or mother, We all share the same common ground, Someone we love is sailor bound, We are family created by the US Navy, For our husbands, wives, grandkids, sons or daughters have chosen to serve their country bravely, We laugh we cry, We need not ask each other why, They are there to take my hand, Just the other day I found people who understand!
They stood and watched as their recruits were sworn in.
Anxious for their children’s new lives to begin.
The eight long weeks a head seemed like a never-ending roller coaster ride.
The recruits write home:
Dear Mom and Dad,
I want to come home things here are bad, I am sick and they yell all the time. I get no sleep, they pulled my teeth, and they gave me a million shots. I work very hard; I do my best but Mom and Dad I do not think I will graduate.… Continue

My son has been gone 1 week and 1 day and I came across this wonderful website quite by accident the day he shipped out to BC. Over the last 8 days I have learned so much and have made great friends here and I am thankful. Nobody else can understand our feelings like other Na… Continue
My son just left Houston yesterday for Basic Training and I am very proud of him. He is the youngest of my 6 children and though I do worry I know he has chosen a path in life that he is passionate about. My son was never one who set long term goals for himself until 14 months ago when he made his decision to enlist in the Navy. For him this meant losing 120 pounds and anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows that is a large goal in itself, but he did it in 14 months. He is 23 and married… Continue
Tammy, I just saw you post about Tyler Jefferson, we at Navydads.com would like to let the Family know our thoughts and prayers are with them, Do you know how to contact someone with the Family.
Hi Tammy, some of my DEPper and brand new BC Moms would like to make use of your questionnaires, but they can't access them in the format you left on your discussion. Word wouldn't open them on my MAC. Could you kindly just post them each in their entirety on that thread so that those moms and others in the future, can just cut and paste? Then we don't have to track you down and bug you each time! LOL Thanks so much! Congrats to Kurt! Hope he's been able to class up and is enjoying his "A" school. :)
Tammy....The address you posted for ship 10 is not the same as the one my daughter-in-law gave me. She just got a letter yesterday and I sent mine to him today. Now, I'm worried that I have the wrong address.
She gave me
SR Last, First MI
Div. 370 Ship Berth 10
Recruit training command
3301 Indiana Street
Great Lakes, IL 60088-3172
Is that the wrong address???
Thanks for any help you can give!
Terri - Proud mom of Nathan

Tammy, AUbrey said they got the drill flag, scholarship flag, Athletic div. flag, and the sponsorship flag because they were chosen by the chiefs.
