Cheryl, I went to my son's graduation in March. It only lasts approximately an hour. Your son can get you a pass for the day so you can get on base and park your car outside the building they graduate in. He gets it the day before - there won't be...
For those of us who have children serving as Corpsmen, above and beyond the call of duty!
The military get in free when they tour the Midway in San Diego also. The military get in free or at least get a discount into most places. Just let your sailors know to ask when they purchase tickets
Melina - My son received orders at the end of corpsmen school that said he was assigned to 1st Battalion-Camp Pendleton. He worked hard in school so that he would be in the top 10 of his class so he would be able to choose. He got his wish so he s...
Cindy - I joined this group in April when my son arrived at Pendleton. I hadn't posted a comment until Melina asked if anyone else had a son graduating on the 31st. I live in So Calif so I will be able to go to the graduation. He was able to come ...

- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.
My son just started his FMTB training at Camp Pendleton this week. He loves being a corpsman. While he was waiting to class up he was able to come home every weekend - we live 3 hours from CP. It was great seeing him every weekend. I am so proud of him. He worked very hard in A school so that he could choose FMTB. His hard work paid off. He is right where he wants to be.

- That would be very hard to deal with, but it is ultimately his decision (unfortunately). My son is stationed in San Diego, but out to sea for a while. He seems to be enjoying himself out there, of course there are times he isn't having so much fun.
I have a friend whose son is a Ranger medic in the Army and she finally learned to deal with his deicision, but it was hard. You just don't what to see your family (especially your children) in harms way.
If you ever need to talk, let me know.
Have a great day,
Cheryl

- I still don't know Teresa. I am on pins and needles waiting for a call from Mike. It sound like lot of the other moms with same PIR have been hearing from their kids, some have not passed battlestations yet and have to re take to hopefully grad on time. I heard that div 006, 007, and 008 are doing it tonight. I hope our kids did it already and don't have to wait until the last day because then what if they don't pass and can't grad on time, it would be awful. Keep your phone close in case you get a call. If you do let me know. good luck! only 3 days left.

- Battle Stations is their final test and if they don't pass no graduation it gets delayed until they pass. I was told no news is good news but I have become an expert worrier. I am planning on going to Flanagans. My flight gets into Ohare Thursday around 4pm, the check in to the hotel in Waukegan and then I will go to Flanagans.

- Hi Teresa,
Yes Michael called on Saturday and told me then that he was sending the parking pass home and information on hotels where to stay also said we could possibly stay at the Navy Lodge. How is your son doing? Michael loves it. Where are you all from, we are from Beaverton, OR. Well, look forward to keeping in touch. Take care.

How are you doing?
The one bad thing about Military, they are so far away. I haven't seen Kim since June. She does call on Fridays, but I can't put my arms around a phone!! UGH!!
That's nice that you have family in Chicago, if Mathew wants to pay them a visit.
Between my husband and I, the family all died, no more Aunts or Uncles. I have one counsin to my name, and once he got married, that was the end of that!! What a shame, we were close, we were raised like brother and sister.
His wife stopped him from associating with the family.
I feel so bad for my kids, no counsins, no one. I did my best for the holidays, tried to think of different things to do, it was only the five of us.
Let me get going.
You take care and God bless

- Dear Teresa,
How are you doing? This Navy for moms is such a blessing!
You have two sons in the Military, God bless you and your sons!!
Where is Mathew now in the Navy?
My daughter Kim finished A School and is waiting to be stationed. She was trained to read the radar.
I hope to hear from you again.
Take care and God bless.
Barbara
