After an even longer ordeal than expected, all is good and DC portion of A School started on Friday.  Does anyone here know if parent can attend graduation?  Master at Arms has a full formal ceremony.  Wondering how different this is.

Wiffer peanut, I am glad it's all working out!  Tell your sailor to hang in there, it does get better after A school!

 Because you were so kind to take interest in our sailor’s plight with the Navy, I thought I would share that all charges were dismissed this afternoon at about 16:00. We came down to visit and right before we arrived the phase privileges were restored and was allowed to stay with us at our hotel tonight.  Thank you all for your prayers!  It’s been a long 29 days!

Thank you! Meeting with legal today. We've been told it will be dismissed but the stress of it has not been good.

Praying Wiffer Peanut!

I need prayer for my sailor. They were falsely accused of something and has been placed into phase 1 and was not allowed to phase up to 3 while the investigation takes place. One sailor did something wrong and accused 1/2 of the class in participating but only 2 others participated and those three are being chapertered out. Now everything is in turmoil. Prayers please.

I feel like the first few months were the worst.  Once he got into A school things started to calm down a little.  He started to figure out the system and was able to contact us and his girlfriend.  He went off base and explored.  

It was (and is) hard for me as a mom to have my oldest so far away.  He left last July, so it's been almost a year.  He was home over Christmas, but won't be home again until Christmas this year, so about a year!  It was a little hard a few weeks ago when all of my friends started posting that their college kids were coming home for the summer.  I have readjusted now again though!

Don't be shy! We we're all new at one time. We are here for you and on FB. Lots of great groups. Search them out. You can comment or post when you feel comfortable.

My Sailor was in Sasebo too on the BHR. Is that your Sailor's ship? We can try to connect the two. My Sailor was 18 when he flew to the other side of world for 3 years. Just be ready to keep phone in hand and answer, especially after midnight because they are 14-15 hours time difference.

Thank you all! I’ve felt pretty alone in this. I’m very shy and don’t ever want to trouble others. Yeah, I know. I want to fix things myself.
It’s been really tough sharing things online.

Moving on. I do so appreciate your responses. I will be positive re his assignment. Of course there is a girl. She’ll be a junior this year and is in an advanced engineering program which we DO NOT want her to sacrifice. As a mom, it makes me sad because they are such a true couple. Long distance like that though, wow!

Sasebo is the place in Japan he will go to. Sounds like it’s on the outskirts, closer to Philippines. My first response when he told me was, “Awesome! Wow, what a great opportunity and adventure!” Inside of course I’m holding back tears.

I must note that, even as a 21 yr old, he still is in many ways a kid. I ask question. He doesn’t know. He has no idea. He’s a routine/structure guy. I’m sure it drives him nuts all the unknowns!

Thank you ladies, so much.
I will keep in touch with you Roberta for sure. It’s comforting to have an ally.
