Mochi - Drew started Army BCT on May 16 (ship) and the last I heard from him was his call to let me know he arrived safely at BCT following the first few days of reception.  I have received 2 letters and he seems to be doing well.  You are right - no news is good news.  He is in SC so it is hot!!!  The Army post he is at has a FB page for communication; I have started a sub page for Drew's specific company.  I reminds me a lot of Navy4Moms.  It's not limited to Mom's BUT it is mostly Moms, Wives and Girlfriends who post.  Its been a lot of fun getting the page up and running.  So many are new to the military so I think with my Navy background I can be of some help to the newbies.  I hope your son is doing well Mochi and catch us up when you hear some news! 

 

Penny - I bet this is a bit scarey for CJ and also difficult for you - the lack of communication can be very difficult!  Keep us posted!

 

Anita - I hope you have improved communication soon.  Is it difficult setting up an international plan or what is the challenge.  Let us all know so we can learn from your experience!

Well here comes the long days with no communication. CJ's ships has been completing all their stuff for the 6 month float. Last time I talked with him he was a little nervous. Right now I am missing him and not hearing from him will be hard. He said communication is always sparse when they are out to sea. Hope to chat with you all soon.

Hey MOCHI 1 hope you have heard from your sailor by now. I know the waiting is terrible and now I am back in that position. I can only send messeges on FB we don't have his phone situation settled yet. He has calling cards where he calls us but I can't call him. I work at the TC Thompson's Childrens Hospital in Chattanooga Tenn. I work in the Neonatal Divsion with the little preterm infants and Newborns that are sick. Where do you work? We are excited about visiting Rota it looks very nice. Prayers for you and your E keep us posted. Have a Blessed weekend :)

So where is everyone? It's been a few days since Anita posted. Hugs Anita, its so hard to let out kids go. Congrats on the new job? What do you do at the hospital? I'm just curious because I work in a hospital as well. My husband visited Rota Spain when he was in the service. He really liked it there. 

I hope you are all well. my son E has been in bootcamp for two weeks now. No one has heard a word since the "I'm here safe" phone call. Looking forward to hearing how it is going for him. But as we all know "no news is good news"!

Hello everyone!! It has been a while, I have been soo busy. I started a new Job at a hospital about 50 min from our home so the drive is longer for me. My sailor is now settled in Rota Spain. He seems to really Love the area, I can't wait to visit him there. This trip to the airport was the worst for me !! All the other  times at Boot Camp, leaving for A school was a little bad but this was terrible. I did try to not cry in front of him but this time I couldn't hold it in. Thank God for his safe travels and for giving him safety thus far.  Hope all is well with everyone!! I miss reading and chatting with you all maybe I can catch up soon. Blessings to you  all and I hope you all have a Wonderful Memorial Day!! Big THANKS TO ALL WHO SERVE OUR COUNTRY FOR OUR FREEDOM~~~~~

Hello my wonderful Navy moms.  Wow, so much is going on with all of our sailors.  I'll have to read back quite a few pages to catch up.  I'm back to a little bit of a routine finally.  I am in Maryland now!  Woohoo!  My precious daughter, Kristen, has now begun her new life in Hawaii with her Navy bf, after graduating from college last week.  Our oldest son Eric, is still back in NM living :( , youngest daughter Michelle is in Maryland with me for the summer and will return to college in NM in Aug. and our oldest daughter Shannon and our 2 awesome grandchildren here in MD just can't get enough of us now.  :)   Adam is on hold now for A school in Pensacola (he was moved to Corry Station) waiting for his security clearance for CTT.  My husband and I are planning a 4th of July visit to see him..  :)   I'm going to read back and catch up on all our wonderful sailor news.  It's good to be back on here again.  I've missed you all

We heard from E today. His PIR is a week earlier than expected. I should be thrilled but K is graduating from his Nuke  A school  on the same day!!! K really wanted to go to E's PIR.  We were all going to meet in Great Lakes.  What are the odds??  Crazy

Hey all; just a brief update.  I am leaving for VA Beach Wednesday night to see T graduate from C School on Thursday.  He then catches a flight on Friday to go to Houston for a short while to visit his dad and work at his recruiter's office until he has to report to San Diego in June.  We're hoping to visit him out there around Xmas.  He's doing really well!
