Praise Him all creatures here below.

Praise Him above, ye heavenly hosts.

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

The words of that song echo through my mind today. I don't understand why it has taken so long to take up residence in the fore-front of my brain. It was a song we sang every Sunday at the church we attended in Kansas until I was eight. (We moved to Texas, making church attendance in Kansas a little tricky.)

Saturday: We received a letter from our son.…

Today is my baby boy's 20th birthday.  Kind of sad this is his second birthday I have not been with him but at least time I got to skype him to talk to him and see him.  I miss him so much!  But at least he isn't alone he has his wife, kitten and his little one baking in mommas tummy.  Happy Birthday my sweet little boy!

My son graduated from boot camp on Friday and was in Pensasola Fl. Sunday morning.  He has to go to Aircrew candidate school before A school (at least that is my understanding). And essentially another month of boot camp on the marine side of the base.  Has anyone been down this road?  It just starts my worrying all over again!!

Any moms out there for division 366, ship 13? My son left Sept 11, 2012 from Seattle Wa area and just got his box and info from his recruiter today, would like to connect with others with SR in same division. 

Hi I was wondering if anyone else Sailor is having trouble getting paid.  My son has not been paid for the last 2 checks.  When he asked about it he is told they will pay him over time which does not sound right.  Payday is Payday

He is going again tomorrow to talk about this again.  Hopefully he gets this taken care of soon.  He still has college loans to be paying

I find myself flipping back forth between "What I can write about on this blog?" and wrapping my head around the events in the world, "What the heck is going on?"  I have little mini-blogs in my head as I  wander around the shampoo aisle in Target. And later, as I sip my coffee and watch virtual chaos on the news, I am wondering why is this all happening  NOW? Am I just increasingly aware since we have a son in the Navy?

I thought about blogging about the  466 Navy acronyms…

Does any one have a Sailor in A School in Florida Graduating today? My Son is and was wondering what kinda things went on today. He says its no big deal. Not sure. Well if you do Congrats. And any pictures would be great.

my son called that he landed on 09/06.. Rcvd his box on 09/11.. Still NO form letter.. Called recruiter for address to write.. Im sure that letter has valuable info.. does it cost the SR to mail a letter??

ship 11   division 363?? anyone else?

 I spoke with my Son Thursday Sept 06, just for a few minutes, the only words that I was able to say to Him was that I love him, it was really sad for me to know that I wouldn't be able to hear his voice until his graduation date 10/05, I dont know if Im going to be able to go, I will try my best.

Well we finally got out 1st phone call. She sounds great and says that she is doing ok. Well thats great!! We still miss her terribly and i personally wish she was home already. But still all my support goes to her and wishing her the best. My husband and i couldnt be more proud of her. Hope everyone out there waiting for there call gets it soon. Cherish it! And dont cry to much cause they get limited time! God Bless all of our SR's out there.

In a letter from Boot Camp my son requested some Navy under armour shorts and t-shirts....i found armed forces gear but can anyone guide me to a sight where i could order something in that brand.  Thanks!

I got another letter yesterday and our son is doing well.  Actually he is doing great! He did have his wisdom teeth pulled and he said it wasnt that bad. They numbed him up pretty good and gave him a day or 2 to recover.  That made me feel a little bit better since I could no be with him and feed him yogurt or mash potatoes!! hahahah

He really LOVES the church service on Sundays.  He takes that opportunity to walk into a stress-free environment and worship our Lord and Savior! To me,…

Hi there. My son graduates from boot camp September 28 then to San Antonio TX for A school. My question is do they get any leave, like for Christmas? We live in Ohio and didnt know if they were able to leave the area during those 16 weeks. Thanks!

Good morning ya'll, i receive a letter from my husband yesterday and he was telling me about a close friend he meant in boot camp and this young man is married as well. He also said they were the only  two guys in his DIV 313 that was married,so  i was hoping to find the wife to my husband friend on here.So if you have a husband in SHP 13 DIV 313 plz inbox me...thank you

There is no way we can ever properly thank members of the US Military for all that they have done. They are certainly not paid enough for their work and their great sacrifice. Iraq and Afghanistan have been particularly tough and stressful for members of the military, their families and loved ones.

We have found 174 stores and services doing their part to make life easier by offering discounts to active, reserve, and retired members of the US…
