I live just off of I88 and Route 31. Lunch would be fine on the weekend but dinner would be better during the week. I work by Oakbrook so let me know when and where and I will be there.

Please keep the family of SN Calvin Meeker in your
prayers. He was my daughters good friend home on
leave for the holidays and passed away suddenly
last Saturday. He was to leave for Calif. to start
Seal training. Such a tragedy only 19. I keep
all our kids in my prayers. Only 8 more days until
PIR for me, now more than ever after this happening
I cannot wait to see my son and give him a hug!!!!

I drove to Zion yesterday from Rock Island to sign the lease papers for my son who is in Norfolk till the end of the month. He's renting an apartment at Horizon Village. I hope it's a good choice. If you know anything about it, let me know! I'll be studying the area--I'm so excited that I'll be able to get on the train and go downtown or go to Milwaukee! My poor sailor--he doesn't realize how his family is going to visit him for the next three years!

My son just called from London--he's on his way home, too! Sometime in the next week, he and I are going to look at apartments in Zion before he has to go back to Norfolk for a month. He warned me that 12 boxes are being delivered today--all his stuff from Afghanistan. Twelve boxes in addition to the three foot lockers already sitting here AND a Christmas tree! This place looks like a holiday warehouse!

Well, I am really disappointed I call Jason's recruiter
and he told me he doesn't have his address yet. I told him
I thought he could look it up on line and find it.
Told me oh no you will get it before me. Said he will
call me back on Monday. Its going to be a long weekend
I was hoping to address letters. Mary how is Dan feeling??

Jason shipeed off for basic training yesterday. When I dropped him off at the recruiter's office and heard him say " Seaman recruit Morgan reporting for
duty, permission to come aboard sir" it really hit home hard that he will be gone]
for the next five years!!! I wanted to cry but, I didn't cuz he told me as we were walking in don't cry mom. Little does he know I cried as soon as I got outside.
I am hoping these 8 weeks go faster for him then I know they will for me!

I just keep thinking about that "Navy swagger" they get in boot camp. Yes, he will be ok, Becky, and I really mean it. It's been almost five years, but I remember my son being concerned that he wouldn't pass the physical test--my husband and I knew he was worried for nothing cause he was in great shape. He worried about battle stations--I've never heard of one that didn't make it. Just remember that he's not alone and not the first to go through what he's going through. And you aren't alone either! You'll make it (but it is hard, I know)!

Hi,
My name is Becky Morgan and my son Jason leaves for b/c on Nov. 25.
I am a little nervous for him. Its the unknown and not being able to
talk to him and ask him if he is ok, that I know will kill me for 8 weeks.
When I tell people he enlisted I am proud on the outside but, a wreck on
the inside!! I am tired of people saying oh he will be ok. I know he will. I hope :)
Unless you have expirenced having your child come home and tell you that they have enlisted, you can't possibly know what it feels like.
Am I just an over protective mother or has anyone else felt this way?

Tap House Grille! That's it. She said that Navy Moms are always welcome. When my son is stationed at GL in February, I plan on stopping in whenever we visit from Rock Island.
