Son has a degree but was encourgaged to go enlisted?
The officer who did my son's swearing in told him not to decide about officer training until he had been in 4 years. He told him if he would have waited 4 years before he did, he would have been maki…

Thanks Sue....I'm excited to meet you too....and everyone else. Can't wait...ELEVEN MORE DAYS!!!! :)
Hi Lori....I wasn't sure if we would be in Great Lakes in time for the Meet & Greet, but I know that we are going to make it now. Is it too late for us to come to the Meet & Greet? If it is too late we completely understand, but would like to come i…
That's awesome that some of you are getting phone calls! I'm praying for one today! We have only had one call so I really hope Lauren gets a call! Happy for you all that are getting to talk to your recruits! :)
Lori, Nathan said nobody wants to go get meds because they don't want to miss anything. He said they are too close to graduation. I know when they all get hugs from their moms, wives, girlfriends, etc. it will make them feel so much better!! :)
Hey ladies....I'm glad to see we have criers in our group. I will be a basketcase and will cry as soon as we get there I'm sure. And for those of you who are runners, I'm not very fast but I'm pretty big and I will find a way to get to my son. I wil…
I found this on another Navy for Mom's group. These kids are absolutely amazing! Copy and paste this address in your address bar and enjoy! http://blip.tv/play/Ae+9MJOSSA
hahaha......Simon says with guns!! That's hilarious! Glad to see that our kids still have a sense of humor. Sue....Thanks for starting this! Great idea!
"Just look at a cracker jack box and picture my face on it....that's what I will look like at graduation"
I am excited to meet everyone too Sue! Lauren, I have asked him who his bunk mate is in my letters too and he hasn't answered me either. He doesn't understand that we females need details!
If OU beats Miami this weekend please pray for Division 370.…
Sue, I am sooooo excited that you got to talk to your son. Lauren got to talk to Nathan today. She said he sounded good too. That's awesome that he knows Nathan and that Carlos is his bunk mate. Nathan went to OU for 5 years so yes, he is a huge OU…
I sat in the back at the funeral, held my phone in my lap, and got no phone call! :( Hopefully soon! I'm sorry to see some of your kids have had setbacks, but remember that's all they are, just setbacks. They will make it, they will get through it a…
I hope, hope, hope, we get a call today! Sue, I think it's strange that Nathan has only been there 3 weeks and Pat has been there 4 and they are in the same division. I know that they wait until divisions fill up but it's hard to think that some are…
Thanks Lori.....I'm very excited to hear from him. My daughter-in-law got one too, but she's not home to read it yet! I know as soon as she gets there she will head straight to the mailbox! Counting the days! Can't wait to see him again!!!
Profile Information
- About me:
- I am a brand new Navy mom and I am learning every day. My son is a musician and will go to the Navy School of Music in Norfolk, VA after PIR. I never dreamed it would be so hard during this boot camp. Not being able to contact him and know that he is ok is the worst thing ever! I can't wait until I get a phone call, although I know I will just cry the whole time. I also can't wait until PIR so I can see him in his uniform and again, I'm sure I will just cry the whole time! Seems like that's all I've done since he left September 3rd.
- 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 no experience but have been learning A LOT since he enlisted. I am very proud of my son but this first week of boot camp has been worse than I ever imagined.

Ruth VH said… - Regarding seating at graduation, they advise that they will give let you have 4 guests, but in the informational letter/brochure there is a number to call to check on if you can bring more. They will tell you that they will try to get everyone in, and usually it is no problem because there are recruits that have no family come. The worst that would happen would be that those that couldn't make it in would be put in the Family Center and the recruit would come to you after the ceremony. So call the number and find out what you can. Any other questions feel free to ask on another group site of A School Moms as they have already attended. Hope this is of help.

SueS (ABF Mom) said… - I am going to use the one Pat sent on his letter until I get the form letter and then I will use that one. I think they will all get the mail eventually... just don't want him to think I am not writing. He knows i will/am but being there and not getting mail would be hard.
I have a love of music... just no talent!! Pat is self taught on the banjo and guitar and has an awesome voice. He got it from my side of the family... just not me. I was so bad in HS my director would NOT let me play in competition!! Still have very fond memories of that time: 36 ago!

- Cool about the music school. I went to HS (years ago!!) with a guy who was in the Marine Corp Band... he loved it. What does your son play?

- Hi Terri~ SO glad we can connect! The letter was wonderful and the call the next day even better! I am going to start a discussion group in BC mom's so we can all meet there too.
What will your son be doing? Patrick will be ABF which is aviation fuels.

musicbabe48,Betty said… - Hi There Okielady,
Tell me about your son.
My son's name is Galen. He is 28, married and left Pittsburgh for Boot Camp on August 13 so he is about halfway through.
He is a trumpet player who will be in a fleet band after a stint in the Navy school of music.
Hope to hear from you,
Betty
