Profile Information

About me:
I am married with 5 children . My oldest, who is 19, joined the Navy on March 9,2009. I miss her terribly. My youngest daughter is 17 months.
I am here to support or represent my:
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
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 learned that my daughter is so much stronger than I gave her credit for!! I have also learned not to take for granted the time I have with her. The most important thing I have had to learn is to leave her in God's hands because He loves her so much more than I do!!
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Trina: Congratulations on the graduation of your Sailor...Yay! I gotta tell you I was on pins and needles and driving everyone crazy at the meet and greet and at the Navy Lodge. I thought I saw you post several times that Tiffany had not called with the "I am a sailor call". As I flew to Chicago I could only think of you and Tiffany. My heart was so broken not knowing if she had called. I tried asking about you both at PIR and no one had heard from you. I see now she has done it and oh what a relief in my heart. I can truly cry but of joy this time. Did she Graduate on 5-15-09 ? If so did you go to the meet and greet? I left Flanagans about 7pm since I had been there way before 6pm... Anyway, my blessings to Tiffany and her family.....Go Tiffany

I don't text message much but it's about the only way the guys can communicate on base - cell reception is really bad. We had to get Steven extras on his cell plan. One month he had over 1,000! But he's real good to pay us for any extras. We pay his basic service so I can always get in touch with him and he calls me every weekend to give me an update on what's going on. Take care & keep in touch :)
Hugs,
Cindy

Corpsman! She's a better woman than me - lol - I get faint at the sight of blood. We were fortunate enough to get to go to Great Lakes for Steven's PIR too. It was truly awesome. The feelings of pride, patriotism & love overflowed from everyone. It was really great to see our sons & daughters so changed from the teenagers we sent away just 2 months before. Steven is now getting ready to graduate from Power School (the second phase of his nuclear training) but we won't get to go to Charleston. Finances are just too tight. I thought about going alone (without hubby & little bro) but I've never travelled alone before so I don't know - we'll have to see if we can pull it off.

Also, WELCOME ABOARD!! One thing to remember, communication with your sailor depends entirely on the good graces of the Navy. Steven calls and sometimes, right in the middle of the conversation, will say " I've got to go". that's when I know something has come up or he's run out of alotted time. It used to hurt my feelings, especially right after boot camp, but I came to understand that that is just the Navy and it had nothing to do with his not wanting to talk to me. Depending on Tiffany's next assignment, she should be able to have her cell phone, computer, etc. I instant message with Steven almost every evening and usually get a phone call on the weekends. Life has returned very much back to normal after the "communication depravation" we went through during boot camp. LOL

Anyway, if you have any questions, this is a great place to get answers - from friends or by blog. This site is certainly a better resource than your recruiter. I found that they are the salesmen of the Navy and once you're in they are not very useful (not the word I wanted but couldn't think of anything better). In case of emergency, death in the family, etc contact your local Red Cross office. They will work as liason between you and the Navy to get your sailor home if necessary and feasible.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. Send me a message whenever you want and I WILL answer as soon as I can even if it is a month later.

Prayers & Hugs,

Hi Trina! :) You have a beautiful daughter! What will be her job in the Navy? Also, I'm curious about your friend request? Is Universal City close to Houston? I'm not familiar with it. My son is studying at Nuke school in South Carolina and loves every minute of it. I'd like to hear more from you - keep in touch. Hugs!

That's good that you don't have to drive non-stop. I'm not a fan of driving long distances. We have to drive to Dallas a lot to see family and I always make my husband drive cause I hate it. Ha! And that's only 3 hours away. We are flying in Thursday afternoon. I can hardly wait to get there!! I am still trying to figure out when our division goes through BS. Have you heard anything? I really think it could be tonight.

Hi Trina,
We wanted to go to the meet-n-greet, but I think it's too late to rsvp now. Maybe it will be okay if we just show up? We live close to Austin. How long will it take y'all to drive? Be safe. Hope to meet you there!

Hi Trina, My son Colin is DIV165. Counting down the seconds to PIR. Hope you are holding up ok. Congratulations on having a great daughter. The children are a reflection of the parenting they receive. You must have done a great job.

When I talked to her she said she had earned the call. She said she knows Tiffany too and think she is really nice. She said everything is going good and everyone is counting the days til PIR. Only 21 more days!!!!
