I need a big favor from you Moms out there. My son is trying to buy his first home and the mortgage company needs some information. They need the address of the A school or base in Pensacola. Chris is a CTN. We are in the process of moving and everything I own is packed in boxes. I know it was Corry Station but that is all I can remember. Please give me a hand.

That is where my son is too. He likes it down there. It is a very nice base. In the middle of the mountains though. Either way you go, you have moutains to go up and down. My daughter get car sick everytime we go up the mountain and down the mountain. There isn't much there but in eyes my son is there and that is what counts. It is a really pretty drive too. I think it would be nice to go in the fall. You should go because the scenery is beautiful. Good Luck.

Cheryl, my son is in Sugar Grove. It is a nice area but very secluded. It takes 45 mins to get to the next town. We have been ther a couple of times to take him back before he got his own car. The moutains are absolutley beautiful. It would be nice in the fall. Let me know if that is where your son is.

Sue, Yeah it does get a little easier after a year but you will always worry about your kids no matter what or where they go. I worry is he paying his bills on time and stuff like that. I just feel like I should still have control over some of the stuff he needs or wants to do. I know though he is growing up and I need to let go but I don't think I ever will. I know my husband doesn't understand sometimes either. He did when Adam first left becaus I wasn't good until I heard from him in boot camp and then it made it even harder when you do hear from them. I felt better when we got to see him at PIR. That was one of the best days of my life. So yes I know how you feel and like I said it does get better, especially when you can talk to them all the time. Good luck and we, on here, are always here for you if you need anything.

Cheryl that is great he got Hawii. I wished my son would have gotten there or somewhere nice with weather. He got West Virginia. It is nice though, he is only a few hours away. So he comes home when he has long weekends. Well Contrats to you and your son. I wished we could have to see him Pcola too but it was not fesable. Well like I said Contrats to your son and I wish him the best.

Sandi, C school is very stressful. Maybe he doesn't want to talk because he's afraid that the fight will start up again. He just can't handle both school and a fight with you at the same time. Instead of asking him to talk to you, I would just send him a message that says "I'm sorry". That opens the door for him to decide to just let the issue go or address it sometime in the future. I don't know what you fought about, but just make the blanket apology and let him respond. Being right or wrong can wait until some other time. What you need now is to open the lines of communication. Personally, I'd rather be talking to my son then to be right about anything. Hope this helps and I'm not butting in where I don't belong.

Lynn, They will find something for her to do while she waits to class up. The Navy always finds plenty to keep their sailors busy. They call it TAD (temporary active duty).

I checked with my son about mentioning where he is stationed. He told me that Norfolk is such a large base that it doesn't matter if I mention it. He won't, however, tell me which base or where exactly he is working. I don't even ask.

I have a secret weapon in the "keeping in contact" department. Chris' significant other call me regularly and we talk. She manages to call when Chris is home and the tells him to say Hi to his Mom. So I get at least that from him. The other son is my worry. When he's at sea, I get regular e-mails because he gets bored being under water. But its hard not to worry when your youngest child works in a large metal tube under the ocean. Especially on days like today when I hear about things like the collision between the ship and a sub off the coast of Iran. Its so hard to hear that sailors have been hurt, even if they are now back on duty. But I'm rambling on. Alex is still in Groton, at least for now.

Sandy, My son is a CTN. I would get very use to hearing "I can't talk about that" as an answer to just about every question. His recruiter told me its about computers and networking. He was a big help. Chris is now in Norfolk,VA but really wants to go to Fort Meade. Don't know why. His brother is a nuke on board a fast attack submarine, so I don't even know where he is most of the time. They both joined the Navy within months of each other, so Kim, I know what you mean about the empty nest thing.
