PROUD NAVY MOM OF RICKY - PIR 10/3/2008
Profile Information
- About me:
- I am a single mom living in Palm Beach Gardens, Fl. My only child is Ricardo (aka Ricky) who finished basic training on October 3rd, 2008. He is now in training in Texas to become a MN.
I am a civil servant with the Department of Veterans Affairs and am proud to be the facility designer and planner at the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center. It is especially touching for me now, more than ever since Ricky has made the decision to serve our nation by joining the Navy.
I am very proud of my son's decision to join the Navy and of all he has accomplished so far. He is an inspiration and a great artist.
- I am here to support or represent my:
- Child/Stepchild
- 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:
- Stay positive and supportive of my son, and encourage him to follow his dreams. Our sailors have great opportunities for education and travel as they serve our nation with pride.
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Hello again ladies! Still no suggestions for a gathering spot off the Turnpike in Broward?
Cheryl what about the Fridays near the Sawgrass? Anything down that way?
Thanks...we told him not to worry about it and that is still get paid whether he is in school or not.
Donna ~ The answer is yes and then he'll probably be on hold to start MN school in San Diego! Welcome to Navy life!
Is it pretty normal to be on hold for a while at GL waiting on electronics school?
I suggest gift cards for Christmas. I know it's a little impersonal, but at least they can get what they want or need. You can go on-line and get gift cards for the NEX, that way they can use them no matter where they are stationed.
Hello MN families. My son is in SD and loving school but starting to miss family. Put is for leave for Christmas, but we are patiently waiting. Any suggestions as to what to get our Navy Sailor for Christmas? I know it has to be small and compact ...

- Danielle said she was practicing when the photographer started taking pics of her. After a few shots, he asked her if he could take some. She was thinking - you already took the before asking :) She ok'd it and then he took a few more, left for a bit and then came back and asked if she could sit near the window so the light would be better on her face. I see Ricky's been taking pics on his ship, does he share them with the sailors that are in them? He does great work and I bet the moms would love to see them. I know I'm on the group USS Blue Ridge and the moms are always looking at the different sites to catch a glimpse of our sailors :)

- I did see some of RIcky's pics recently -that is pretty cool! We checked into prices for Japan, plus passports, etc and then checked into prices of meeting Danielle in Hawaii instead. While she is enjoying Japan, I think if we meet her in Hawaii it will seem like a vacation for her as well. Usually if she has leave from the band, the whole band is on leave so we wouldn't be able to see her perform. I told her maybe she needs to request the Great Lakes band next so we are only 3 1/2 hours away to see her ! She's not sure, she doesn't miss the cold winters. She spent last winter in Virginia. Can you believe they have been in over a year now!

- Hello - I have been watching for Ricky's name on the photos - I am always checking when I see the photos from Japan :) Thanks for the head's up on the photo of Danielle - I had been watching and missed that one!!! Danielle's a bit homesick - been out for about 6 weeks and we are looking forward to having her home for Christmas - the countdown begins! I can hardly wait to see her! Danielle's last few weeks have taken her to New Caledonia, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam - I think she has enjoyed it -except for a few days of sea sickness when the water has been extremely rough. We'll be down in FL (Orlando area) the week of Thanksgiving -going with the band - I can hardly wait - we were there 4 years ago when Danielle was in the school band.

- GLida,
Ricky told you teh actually truth. Alex is on the phone now! The USS Patriot did pass that inspection with flying colors and recorded best ever on that base!!! Out sailors did real good! Alex recieved an acconnendation ribbon and medal. Get Ricky to share more with you. Alex said he ( Ricky ) worked very hard on his job too. But Alex is not sure if Ricky was able to get in photos during this inpsection. Now that will be a shame. Here things are some better. My mother will not have her out patient surgery tomorrow. Her blood leve was not right - but that is ok because now she will see a cardiologist. And I thing now - she will get better - she will see the right doctor. Take care Freind talk soon TLynn

- Good Morning Glida,
Well, that inspection should be over now. And it should be Thursday evening there for our sailors. Keeping fingers crossed that the ship passed and now was given a 3 day liberty. My Alex will take a nap and do all his laundry and then I hope go sight seeing. Just wanted to touch base with you - hope all is well. As soon as i hear from my son - I'll get on a message off to you. I was enjoying the slide show and was wondering - do you think Ricy was ab;e to take pcitures during that BIG inspection? talk soon TLynn
