Any School of Music students at Little Creek that need a place to go for Thanksgiving can join us here in our home. We have room for a bout 8 -10 people. Let us know if your sons or daughters will be here for the holidays.

Thanks. :) We have always enjoyed having the SOM students here! Some of them would bring their instruments or play the guitar we have and play them as we sang choruses or hymns. It was great! And we especially like their love for all kinds of music. They are very rich in that way. :)
we have even had some of the students come back for the advanced course and join us at our home while here. That has been a blessing!
We hope Galen and his wife are doing well in RI. New England is such a beautiful place to live and explore.
Have a wonderful day and God bless!

Hi...We just joined this group.
I didn't know there was a group for the Navy musicians. Yvonne and I have been ministering to the students at the Navy School of Music for 8 years. We've "adopted" many of the musicians as our surrogate sons and daughters. Many are now married and have babies. So, we've become surrogate grand parents too :)
If any of your children come this way we'd be happy to provide a "home away from home" for them while they are at the SOM. We have a lot of fun on the weekends. Saturday we eat and play board games or go miniature golfing together. On Sunday we have a big home cooked meal at the house and fellowship and do a variety of things.
It sure beats sitting in the barracks. The most common comment we get is "Wow, it's been so long since I've been in a real home!" That's followed closely by: "Wow, Yvonne, your cooking is SOOOO much better than the gally food!"

Thanks ... I knew that the notes and video go to Tennessee ---- just wasn't sure how long we'll be waiting for the results!! Such a nervewracking time!! Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support! I hope that soon I can join this group as a true "Mom of a Navy Musician"!

Thanks, SUSIE!! Three weeks from today --- we're counting down and praying hard!! How long did it take after his audition to get the final results?

Wow ... how awesome for all of you! We just got confirmation that Jaime's audition is September 30 ... so she is busy preparing and praying that she will make it in!

My daughter is a DEPPER, preparing for her Navy Band audition as a vocalist. It hasn't been scheduled yet --- I guess the GL band takes leave during the summer, so we're waiting to hear from the MU1 there to schedule it. So we wait ... and pray that when it comes, she does well --- to be enlisted as an MU would be the best of both worlds!

Kimmydee59, I like hearing that the Division 939 is the best of the best. What does that mean exactly?

Hi moms! I'm not the mom of a musician, rather a corpsman. But I came across this fantastic photo today and had to share!
