Janis, hug her tight for me too.

It's 2:20 am and I can't sleep. My daughter is coming home late tonight.
My best wishes to all the sailors and families facing the first deployment, my heart goes out to you. I read somewhere, sailors, go out, do your job to the best of your ability, and come back home again soon. Praying they all come home soon and the…
Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Every day gets a little easier. It helps knowing that he loves the Navy and what he does. I am very proud of him and his service. Thanks to all your children too, near and far, for serving. That's one thing that…
Becky, my heart goes out to you. Reading your post I cried, I know it so very hard. You're in my thoughts and prayers. It made me remember when Jennifer left for Bootcamp, that pit in your stomach never goes away. Take care of yourself....
hey ladies, Its been awhile since I have been on. Jason was home for 2 weeks he left for Norfolk on the 7th. We have a great time and enjoyed Thanksgiving withhim. We have a lot to be thankfull for. He will be deployed out in January, Imiss him so m…
Becky - I'm sure you must be so proud of Adam. I'm glad you had a nice visit with him. He will do great on his adventure! I've emailed your post and his pic to Marissa. She cried. Best wishes to you both.
Hi everyone! Adam deployed Wed for Bahrain. We got to take him to Norfolk and wait with him until flight tiime. I thought taking him to MEPS was the hardest thing ever, but I have to say this time was rougher. I am very appreciative that I got 14 da…
Hi Everyone, Jennfer got her leave. I'm soooo happy.... She will be home late 12/15 thru 12/26.
Janis - I really hope Jennifer gets settle soon and finds a new group of friends to connect with. Good luck to her getting leave for Christmas!
SeaBeeMom - That's great that David already knows other sailors in his duty station. Keep us posted on h…
Hello! David is settled in Gulfport and even though he went to A school there, many of his friends went other places or to other bat. Talked to him today and he seems to have already made friends with others in his Bat. We just found out he will be…
Hi Everyone, well Jennifer is on her way to VA this afternoon. It was hard for her to leave her new friends. I miss her so much. I pray that when she gets to VA everything falls in place and she gets to have Christmas Leave. Hope all is well you and…
Jen - it is my daughter. :o) Yes, she's in GL. The paperwork for separations was slow for a while because they changed the Command Master Chief who has to interview all sailors for separations. But she has also heard that they are moving to get ever…
Alicia - so sorry about your news! We'll all have to face that first deployment sooner or later, but finding out so close to Christmas must be hard for you and D. I'll say an extra prayer for you both. Do you know if or how you or anyone else can se…
Mary H - Marissa's hoping they will finish her separation paperwork before she takes Christmas leave on the 18th. That way she won't have to go back to Great Lakes in January.
Reading the comments about the messes, I had to laugh. It was his first time home since he left for bootcamp 6 months ago, and I wasn't prepared for him to fall right back into his old habits! I guess it's not uncommon! He was SO NEAT at PIR, insist…

- Hi Barbara - thanks for your words. I am taking the day off tomorrow to get some calls made. The first ones will be to our attorney and MD. Marissa was fine before she left home. This happened to her in Boot Camp and was made worse with the poor treatment she was given in A school. I am trying really hard to be objective, but I'm also trying my hardest to cover our bases. From what I've already read on this site, she has no benefits because she's been in for less than 6 months. My husband talked to a teacher he works with who's been through this nightmare. She told him to advise Marissa not to sign anything. We already have medical power of attorney and I will be calling our MEPS to get info about who to call at Great Lakes tomorrow. She's only 18, for God's sake! She can't do this on her own.
