@marine Navy mom - thanks for the phase up & visiting information. I think we will wait till he is in pahse 3 to visit. Sounds like a better time for everyone since he can be checked out for the weekend. Hopefully, by then it will be a little warmer to enjoy those FABULOUS beaches of FL :-)

Oh yes it does! We are working just as hard on this side! With setting up insurance, dental, checking out the housing at all the possible bases he can get, ect. this is a full time job! But since I was on the other side, I have an understanding of what he is going through as far as the fast pace of everything! And since he has the same rate, I can totally help him study! lol I promise to get a picture of Mikayla on here....she is our heart! We are going to wait for the first visit until he is phase 2 so that we have a little more time with him. I do have two aces in my pocket with learning to be a military wife...1st is this site and all of you guys! There is so much information on here, it really helps to know that there are other people going through the same things, and feeling the way you do. 2nd- my sister is the ombudsman for her husbands ship in san diego. So she also gave me tons of information over christams.
We are so excited to get to spend friday with him! And he just keeps saying he can't wait to kiss his baby girl!

punkin--i go to your page and NO pictures of baby girl?? what's up with that g/f? hehehehe
nice picture of your husband being sworn in ; )

punkin-hang tight you just never know....he might get C school and you and the baby girl will have more time to be together with him. i know you miss him. i was in your shoes over 40 yrs. ago when my brand new groom went to Viet Nam before we even got to live together after the wedding. right now make the most of every second the 3 of you have together...concentrate on making plans to go visit him. that will take a lot of planning with the baby girl making a "road trip" to go see her daddy. don't be thinking about when or if he gets sea duty. you can make those plans when you have more information.

punkinbaby we went to visit our son after he had been in Pensacola for five weeks. By that time he could stay out from Friday until Sunday without reporting back in and by that time he could also have a car on base. You will have to go in and be with him when he signs out since he is not allowed to leave without a buddy and you will be his buddy for that weekend. You will also have to show your drivers license. We always went through vrbo.com and rented a place to stay and that was nice because we had an entire house to ourselves that was fully furnished and we could just hang out and watch movies and of course he wanted home cooking. I was really surprised at the prices in the off season it was cheaper to rent a house than to rent a hotel room.

Marine- I hope we get more time with him. I am so afraid he will get sea duty out the gate, and that means more time right away from Mikayla. And believe me you are helping alot! Just having someone to answer questions helps more than you know!
Connie- thank you for everything! Any tips you can give also would be much appricated and is needed!
Thank you both again so much!

that was one thing i figured out pretty quick when we went to see our son...we didn't think we had too many options with our special set of circumstances and i do think we made the right choice for us...however i see great advantages to staying on the base while visiting there.

Thank you guys so much!! I didn't think this was going to be this hard, but with my daughter it is harder than I ever imagned! I am hoping that in 3 weeks or so that he will be at least at phase two. We heard a rumor that on phase 2 they muster on friday and then again on sunday....we would be staying at the navy lodge, which is on base, so I am hoping to get some time with him then!

Son is new to PNAS and is doing well. He said atomsphere in his barracks is great and his roommate is a fellow friend from BC. They have both settled in and would love to have family come see them. How soon can that occur?
