Barbara, My heart feels for what your son is going through and also you as his mother it is tough. It is odd after reading your post this article appeared on my email or Facebook page so I guess maybe it was meant for me to share with you. http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=65747. Your son may know all this already. One thing that has been said over and over while on this journey with the Navy is the job opportunities that are out there. The training that these sailors get is great and can't be learned in a classroom. There is a reason for all this and I hope your son finds a peace in that. Good luck to him on his next endeavor. I know what ever it is he will be a success. T
Barbara J I am so sorry to hear the news don't worry positive thinking things will get better. You never known they could turn around and keep your son in the last minute. He can always join the Airforce. There is a reason for everything. Like I said positive thinking can change anybody's life. It sure helps a lot. This is other names for Key to your life. My husband and I are doing the positive thinking and sure seeing a lot of difference in our life it's all for the good. And believeing in god is also good for us.
Barbara J... I am very "heart broken" to hear about this for you as a parent & especially for your son. It sounds like he is an exemplar Navy Sailor & one of our "Finest". My Prayers go out to him that something gets straightened out in the right direction for him.
Barbara J... I am so sorry to hear this. It is definitely an injustice when they have given so much. I will certainly keep your Sailor and your family in my prayers.
Hi all, been awhile since I've been on the site. Would love to meet up again. Had a great time at the Douglasville get together. Keep us all posted!
Ladies call the dates then choose the place. Post the time give us all the details, so everyone that is available can come to the meet and greet. - China
Roll Ride bamamominga. My SR PIR is 3/9. Going to Sub school too. Groton, CT. You must be so excited. My oldest is at Bama. Were in Woodstock. Same to you if your in the area. Friend me and I would love to chat about your time in GL. Be safe and have a awesome time. Looking forward to talking to you:) RTR
Well, I made up my name because I am an Alabama Football Fan that lives in Georgia. My whole family are Bama Fans except for my old stubburn husband who is an ole Bulldog Fan !!! ROLL TIDE !!! Thanks for keeping my son in your prayers. I know this is going to be tough for him but I know he can do it. He has also chosen to go on a submarine after he finishes school. I think the kid lost his marbles but he is money motivated. Hello jnice 211. I am just right down the road from you in Newnan. Paces, the next time you come over to Newnan to visit your sister, let me know and maybe we could meet for lunch !!! Well, I will be in Great Lakes tomorrow for PIR on Friday. It seems like it has been forever since I have seen my munchkin...guess I need to start saying my Sailor instead of Munchkin lol
I'd like to come meet everyone. You say the 24th of March is the next GA Mama's luncheon? Where? I saw something abou the Varsity! Also - I'm terrible about checking this site. Is the info ever e-mailed?
My son finally finished up Nuke school. His PIR was 4/23/10. He is going to the Big "E".
