My son has been ill for several months. He is now assigned TD to his home port hospital while his ship finishes deployment. We are basically waiting to see if he is discharged medically. He's in that tough in-between time of not knowing what will ...

Oh my, Jerusha, that IS a full house! What fun. I'm having some issues adjusting to the quiet house, less activity, and less conversation and laughing. However I am looking into some new challenges for myself, and what direction I'll take when I n...

Ditto that Sharon! I was a Navy wife and there are terms I remember that aren't used today. And the new ones I'm totally in the dark about. Google is helping! I'm pretty sure widget was used for electronics personnel back in the 70's. Have fun lad...
Ah, the Gurnee Mall. That's where my son and I saw "I Am Legend" after boot camp. It was fun to drive around that area during his liberty. There are plenty of restaurants near Gurnee Mall as well. (in response to Marianne's comment)

Barbarajean said… - thank you for the info..I get a bit confused on these type of sites as I don't know if I am writing to you or everyone or what. Sometimes I feel like I am writing to myself. Lovely picture of you and your son. May I add you as a friend? I was on another group but I got so much e-mail following the group I really got confused.I guess there is material as what to do or when to do for his graduation and how long we can see him etc. I am very good at following directions I think. You said that your son is deployed right now and is DCFN I think. What does that mean? reply when you can

- thank you for the reply. my grandson isn't anywhere yet but i am getting a lot from the site. I really don't understand how all this works yet but I guess i will. I hope all is well for your son and that you see him soon. Josh leaves in Jan for bootcamp then we will see what happen after that. write back if you like. I like to hear what I have to look forward to.

kbolby7 said… - Thank you for the kind words. I know how much you must worry about him. Althoughmy son in laws are not my biological sons. I worry something horrible when they are on deployment. Nick will be coming home for his R&R from Iraq in a couple of days. He & my daughter have a brand new baby boy "Noah Michael" born June 26th that he can not wait to see in person. Their other little one will be 2 in Sept. I love em all so darn much. I pray for all of our soldiers safe return.

- I will do that, thanks for the info. I know what you mean about hearing your sons voice.....It just does the heart good doesn't it?!! Mine was gone to Iraq for 9 months and since he has been back, he has been out on drills so I sdon't get to talk to him much. I miss it soooooo much!.....Praying that he will be able to come home on leave in August.

- Hello! I am glad to have found it as well, although I feel quite isolated still in that I do not know any Navy moms really...only a very few and none of them know me or my son...................glad to be here though.

Sherry James said… - Hi ~
Nice to meet you as well! So you have a 14 y/o at home? That must be nice and yes, the empty nest is coming at both of us fast. In my case, I guess in a matter of weeks! You definitely give great advise with doing things that interest me that I've put off doing until.....NOW! The bike riding sounds fun and healthy too. Classes are usually interesting and a good way to meet like minded people. And yes, fitness is a must at this point in life and having friends to share and do things with are vital.
Thank you for your compliment on my daughter and it was a tough five years (extra one at NAPS) but she perservered with God's grace. I know you must be so proud of your four children too. My daughter is currently on deployment and I just spoke with her yesterday for the first time in weeks. You probably know how that goes yourself. And my son just graduated high school this year. Maybe I'll check out the book "Do Hard Things" too.
Looking forward to our talking again, Sherry

- About me:
- Grew up Air Force daughter, married Navy, now single Navy mom. I'm pretty much red white and blue all through.
- 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:
- Every tough season changes pretty quickly. If you're in a rough time, do your best every day and persevere, whether you are the active duty or the one 'at home'. Find your happy thought to sustain you until the tide turns in your favor. Then remember the strength you found and use it in the next challenging situation. Help someone else when you can, that will build you up faster than having your chin down.
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.
