Well the holidays are all about K this year.  She has already put up our XMAS tree (I don't think I've EVER put it up before December 15 and that was early).  She themed it "Navy" which means white lights, all blue ornaments and gold garland.  She has even decreed that all presents that are placed under it have to be wrapped in gold!  What a trip.

I signed up on this website because my daughter is married to a sailor.  They were married when he graduated from boot camp and she is pregnant with his child.  He is attending A school and she was all set to join him.  After many delays, he just told her that he did not want her to join him, that he was too young to be a husband and father and they were done.  Naturally, she is heartbroken.  I don't know what to do for her and I don't know what her rights are.  He is getting extra pay…

I check my email and face book page multiple times a day. I feel disappointment when there is no activity, but it makes my day when someone has posted. I look forward to whatever someone has wrote no matter what the subject is. Anything makes me feel that much closer to my SR! I just want to take this time to say thank you to everyone for their sharing, you have made my transition into being a Navy mom much easier :-)

Well Dec. 7th is coming up fast....that is when my son leaves for boot camp. Mixed emotions for sure but the number one emotion is pride...in him and for him. His whole new life is in front of him and I am excited for him but at the same time I am sad because he will be gone...for good. He was gone for a year in college but he came home almost every weekend so it was no big deal.Well this is a big deal and he won't be home almost every weekend so mama is a little freaked out. I know he will…

waiting for my first phone call!! omg so i got a letter telling me he was calling today and so i am waiting...trying to keep my mind off of it by going to a work meeting, watching a movie and hanging out with my friends till i hear the ring of my phone!! waiting is so hard and ive realized that talking this thing one week at a time instead of one day at a time is the way to go...it seems faster and well makes me happier! this week certainly started out very badly. i was crying and missing…

Well my son has passed his EMT classes and now on to picking orders and he got Surgery Tech School.  He is bummed now he could of been in Naples but maybe next time.  He is a bit upset but no words can fix it.

I miss the kid so much.  Both of my sons.  My daughter says no holiday celebrations in the house anymore since the boys are gone... boy she better learn fast.  I will light my blue candles for Timothy and still they will be here in my heart and head and the celebrations…

Hi All,

My daughter is currently promised to a Navy guy, who is currently awaiting his second deployment. I really need lots of support on the best way to be there for both of them w/o being too involved! Any ideas or words of wisdom would be totally appreciated!! Also, if you are in AZ, plz feel free to add me. I am open to all the support that we can get! :)

Well a week ago my son PIR'd and I am still on cloud nine about that! It was something so beautiful to see and believe it or not the tears only flowed twice. Once when his division passed where we were sitting and when the National Anthem was played/sang (I always tear up on that one).

We had no trouble getting to the handicapped parking and was offered a wheel chair as soon as I stepped out of the car! Now that is service, LOL. Of course I declined it, I had my cane with my…

Woo-hoo... The quotas from the last testing cycle just came out today....

We are flying out to see my son Graduate on Friday Nov18th but i still haven't gotten a call from him telling me everything is on track for Graduating on Friday last night i had a bad dream that he had some trouble but .......well I'm worried  What are some of the moms that had Grads gone by say.  PLEASE HELP

My SR had been gone for a little over two weeks, and it has been the hardest two weeks ive ever experienced.  I am more than proud of him and i understand he needed to call his mom with his one minute phone call because well its his mom and he didnt really have much time to talk anyway.  I also understand that its only the begining of week 3 and a letter should come anytime now and i just need ot be patient but i honestly am having a really hard time dealing with all of my emotions.  I have…

Hi everybody, I saw this posted on my Facebook and was all set to do it, then someone commented that it was a hoax. Does anybody know if this is legit??

"When filling out your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to this address: A Recovering American Soldier c/o Walter Reed National Military Medical Center 8901 Rockville Pike Bethesda, MD 20889-5600. If we pass this on & everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these…

Im so happy, he´s been assigned to Kingsbay Georgia!!!

I hope we´re moving together next year :D

If you are living there, please add me, I would like to start having some friends there :D

my son just left on his first deployment! I would love to talk to other mother's whos child or husband is on the same ship.

Even though Eric leaving was the hardest thing either of us has ever had to deal with, I now realize that this is the best thing that ever could have happened to us. Not only is my baby becoming a member of the best Navy in the world, where they're teaching him respect, discipline, and honor, but this has also inspired me to make some extremely positive changes in my life as well!

In the past two weeks I have already lost 5 pounds, been to the gym every single day, pulled up my grades…

Got our phone call today. My girls said he cried when he first called them because he was so happy to hear thier voices. I only got a few minutes because I was in a business meeting at a new job but he sounded wonderful

My 21 year old son left for boot camp today.  I was surprised at the emotions that took over.  I was so proud of him and axious for him to go to the Navy but when the day came, I felt an emptiness that could only be described as a  mother's love.

Well...a month from today I will be saying goodbye to my son as he begins his new adventure in life.  I am sooo proud to say that I am his mother...I hope the Navy is all he hopes it is going to be...I pray that he remains safe.  

My daughter is married to a sailor attending A school in Groton and I am trying to help her get there from TF Green airport.  I think the solution is Amtrak from Providence but am posting this in case anyone knows of any other affordable options or if the Navy provides family transport....  Thanks to all.  Being from Houston, we are not that familiar with public transport so this has been a challenge. 

TO MY SURPRISE, THIS ISN'T AS HARD AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. TO MY SURPRISE, THE TIME HAS ACTUALLY FLOWN, TO MY SURPRISE HE REALLY MISSES ME, HE NEEDS ME, CANT STAND TO BE AWAY FROM ME THIS LONG, IT'S ALREADY BEEN 4 WEEKS, AND THERE'S ONLY 4 WEEKS LEFT :) YES I MISS HIM, YES I WISH I COULD SEE HIM, BUT IT WONT BE TOO MUCH LONGER NOW, I HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY…
