I do know that when my son went through his divorce, that Navy legal would not help with anything. I went to our congressman and was told that congressmen don't get involved with helping the military with anything legal. Illinois judges don't grant joint custody to the military either.

I just had to join to leave a comment about Little Creek! I love that base. We stayed at the Navy Lodge there three times when our son was on the Roosevelt. He just got back from Afghanistan as an IA and is in Norfolk till the end of January. He's looking for a couch or a room to rent, a place to stay for a month before his next duty. Let me know if you know of a place!

Hi!
I just wanted to wish all of you moms with sailors in school in Virginia a very Merry Christmas. Being on NavyforMoms had been a learning experience for me. In all of my years associated with the Navy, I've never known, let alone appreciated how you all feel when your sons or daughters join the service. Reading the comments many of the moms have made on here I have a whole new understanding of your feelings, sometimes painful ones, especially during this time of year. This has been really enlightening for me. It's added a whole new dimension to my prayers life. Believe me when I say I will be praying for you all with much deeper understanding!

My son is stationed in Portsmouth and is flying home to Texas in December. I was wondering . . . which airport would be the cheapest to fly out of. He has a truck so he can drive to any of them. We looked into Baltimore - but that is a bit far. Any idea???
Thanks,
Brenda sue

Weather up here is not bad. Today it was in the 70's. Our really "cold" weather starts in January. But then it only gets down to about the 40's during the day. Sometimes into the 30's at nite. Not bad really.

I just wanted to say hi to everyone, I am new here and my son just left for his second deployment to Iraq, he's a Riverine Det 1 I believe.. I also have a son in the Army who will be deploying in June. I am glad I found this site.. This deployment for whatever reason is a lot harder on me than the last one.. not sure why but it is.. I'm glad there's other Riverine mom's here..
