Hi Ladies, Well, my son made it back to Lemoore today. He had a 2 week leave flew to VA to see his girlfriend first, then to PA to see us!! It was a wonderful visit!!! He lost so much weight, though!! Hopefully, he will be able to gain the weight ...
Hi Annie, my husband and I have been to Lemoore twice now. I'd like to say that my daughter n law had something to do with some of those signsyou saw. Her and some of the other wives also fixed up the barricks for the sailors before they came home...
You are welcome, but i am not there either. :-(
Those are screen captures from the webcam. Her father was on the TC with her. JEALOUS! I have not seen her since last April. If i am lucky i will get to see her during the holidays....

Paula said… - Not to late, people talked about it but that was as far as it went, lol. I am so glad she is Sarah is happy, and I can only imagine how they feel being apart. Brett went on a training, he said the ship is huge but still not a fan, lol. Oh well buddy get used to it! Well make sure you at least keep in touch with me. I miss everyone from our PIR, it seems like such a different time. The site is not the same anymore, the chat rooms, well what chat room :( navymombb@yahoo.com is my reg email, as I said stay in touch. I still speak to quite a few of the moms from the meet & greet bt no where as many.
Missing you , Paula

- Hi, Long time no talk. How are the Sailor(s)?? Is Sarah enjoying "married life" they have a little romance novel going...I hope she keeps a journal to show her kids/grandkids one day, lol. Brett is doing well, he was just out on a training mission, where...no clue! I hope to find out when he is scheduled for deployment, his dates have been chg'd 3x now. I would just like enough notice to make hotel and travel arrangements. I want to be their when my son leaves and arrives back home!!! Talk to you soon! What do you think about a 10-3 PIR reunion group??

- Vicki, he is gone now. But he is happy where he is. Plus my daughter is moving out and now is the time to put the house up for sale and go smaller so no one moves home. They just come to visit.
Profile Information
- About me:
- I am the ex-wife of a career sailor and the Navy holds many fond memories for me. It is weird to experience military life from the other side. My son (17) decided to join the Navy in lieu of going to college to prepare for a career in law enforcement. My daughter (20), looking for direction in her own life took a cue from her brother and signed up herself. She left August 5, 2008 and had her PIR on October 3rd. He left November 25, 2008 and had his PIR January 23, 2009.
Look for me on facebook or yahoo chat as "august164" or email me at august164 at hotmail.com.
- 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
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Then Brian called this evening and i realized what i had been told many times before was true. It won't… Continue

Here we go again.....
I woke up this morning and immidiately recognized that empty feeling that I haven't had to deal with since Sarah left. I tried to be positive all morning as he wrote addresses into his book and took phone calls from family and friends. We dropped him off and I did pretty good not to cry so as not to embarrasss him in front of the recruiter and the other recruit who was also there preparing to leave that day. The little countdown gadget on my page says there is still 21 hours before Brian leaves… Continue
