Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on November 10, 2013 at 11:53pm: IAJ Mom, I'm glad you were able to go to his graduation. These are important milestones and if one is able to attend, it's so worth it!

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on November 10, 2013 at 11:50pm: BADma, that's great! A lot of work went into getting your Blue Star Mothers chapter started. When and where are your meetings? I'll post it under the photos up top.

Comment by spyder013 on November 8, 2013 at 8:32pm: Congratulations!

Comment by IAJ on November 8, 2013 at 8:20pm: HI, I just attended my sons graduation from Navy school in Groton. He had told us that we didn't have to come but my husband and I were able to make it. So glad that we did. It was a small event but very nicely done. It was great to see each individual sailor come up to the stage and state their name and rank and their assigned boat. Very proud moment for us. We also had dinner with my sons friend and his parents. The father was a veteran submariner. It was good therapy for me to talk to someone that had been in the same place that my son will be in a few weeks. Now on to a couple of liberty weeks and family time :-)

Comment by BADma on November 8, 2013 at 11:46am: I want to share!!! We just found out that our brand new Blue Star chapter officers will be sworn in on Wednesday 13 November! We are the first Blue Star Mothers chapter in Pinal County.We started our process in June 2012.

Comment by Marcy ~ Corpsman Mom on November 7, 2013 at 7:42pm: Hi Kendra and welcome to the AZ Navy Moms family! it's natural to worry but all will be well :) My son also had two wisdom teeth removed during BC with no complications. They took out the last two while he was serving at a Navy hospital the following year; I was visiting and his procedure went so well, he rejected painkillers and was having soup at California Pizza Kitchen that night - I was amazed :)

Keep us posted on his progress, and I look forward to meeting you at one of our get-togethers!
