Hi-Robert/HM Mom. I sent you a friend request.  Our Sailors have alot in common.  I'll explain in private message. LOL

Thank you NavyWife, will let her know.  Please keep in touch!  My sailor is 27 and engage to a marine so I am actually going to be a Navy/Marine Mom pretty soon but his work is out of area for weeks at time and then back in town so it is a little hard for my salilor. Hopefully soon she will have to much to study and volunteer work to get upset about friends.

Robert, I have to agree with you that meeting people in Bethesda is one of the hardest things to do. Although it's a big base, it's almost entirely hospital. There aren't many opportunities to meet people you don't work directly with. There's also no family support so I can't be a part of any "Navy wives" group, and I've only managed to meet one other wife here (through this site!). Despite all that, my husband loves the work he does in the ICU, and he recently started taking college classes online. There's an office on base that helps enlisted get that set up and it's not too hard although we had to jump through some hoops to get started. Tell your sailor to check that out and hang in there!

Hi everyone, I am also glad that some of the sailors love ones are starting to join this site.  There really isnt to much information but every little bit helps.  My sailor has been as Bethesda since August of last year.  She does love her work but it seem school, continuous studies, grants,  etc are very hard to start up. She is moving forward but at a snails rate.  She also has yet to have a couple good friends up there since she lives off base. This is her hardest challenge everyday.  Not really able to get to know people in this state.  I was born in MD and raised in NJ, NY and LA but my sailor was raised totally in FL, very differenct from the NE.  Like I said she loves the field she is in but its the people that are hard to get.  Once again glad to see some people on this site.  Hope to keep on hearing from you'll.  PS  AngiePNMx2 did your sailor op out over sea or deployed by military?

Hey everyone....my sailor is no longer at Bethesda..left  for a new duty station over seas about 7 months ago...He worked with the wounded warriors.  He worked a lot of long days in a row and from 6:30 am to 7 pm.  We visited several times and stayed at the Navy lodge on base.  We took the metro train, which is right across the street from the Hospital, to DC to sight see.  I don't have a lot of info to share but I sure do miss my sailor living in the states and having the opportunity to see him on occasion.  Best wishes to everyone's sailors.

Hi Ladies,

My son has been at Bethesda for a little over a year.  I think he likes it ok.  But I don't get much information.  The gf gets more info than I do.  lol  He works in the CCU unit and has had some great opportunities to advance his future.  But we also know the whole "hurry up and wait" game too.  I don't think he is bored, but I think he also has a lot of spare time on his hands.  Just hoping he is using that time wisely.

Good to see some other Moms here.  Haven't been too active on here since the whole bootcamp days.

Hi Ladies.

So glad to hear someone is gonna use this site. My daughter is an orthopedic specialist. She's been at Bethesda for about 7 months now. Loves it for the most part. It's been a fantastic experience for her. So many pictures and stories.

Hi Judi/NavyMom - so glad to hear from someone at this site.  My daughter is a anesthesia technician, she works in the operating rooms.  She wants to become a doctor in that field.  Lots of hard work.  As you know they dont really tell you everything when you enlist.  My daughter could have gone in as an officer but wasnt told that so now she trying to apply for Officer school.  She enjoys the work but finds it very lonely up there.  We are a very close family so until she finds friend it is diffcult.  Does your daughter live on base?  How does she like the Navy.  My daughter is very happy with 90% of everything.  There is always something that you dont like.  LOL How old is your daughter?  Is she an officer?  This is great!  Well have to get to work  Have a great day and thank you for write to me!
