My grandson left for Yokuska about a month ago. He's my oldest grandson. His ship is current out to sea and so he is looking forward to joining the crew as soon as he can. Nice to find some other grandmas. We shipped off his Christmas gift this morning. Miss him.
My Grandson was recently deployed for the next 7 months or so. Would like to hear about others in the same situation. My first grandchild to enlist.
I am also a grandmother of a new recruit and she left 17 days ago. She and her mom have lived with us since she was born so it's like my own! Everyday I wonder how she's doing, she's a tough person so I know she will do fine but I always just have that thought in my mind. We will not be able to go to her graduation in September since we live in Georgia and she's graduating in Illinois. Thankfully her great aunt & uncle and great grandmother live nearby in Illinois so they will attend. I believe I saw somewhere where you can watch it live?
Good evening all. I am the proud grandmother of a new recruit, who is scheduled to graduate 5/15. We are so proud of C. He was so excited to go into the Navy. His dad was in the Navy, my brother was a career petty officer and my sister was in the Navy for 3 years. So we are Navy family. We can't wait to see him in May. Just disappointed that they limit how many family members can to to the parade. C has two sets of parents..so the rest of us will just wait like everyone else. It sounds like getting cards and letters from home is very important. I have to get on that quickly here. I hope to share with other "grandmothers". I am Gma Lynda. God's blessings ..
I was wondering if airlines give discounts for going to graduation in Chicago. I don't know what I am doing. I have never been on a plane or out the state of Tennessee. Don't get a lot of info from requriters. I raised this young man so anything that anyone can tell me about anything would be appreciated. All I know so far is I take him to requirters ofc this Sunday and was told we can be at mebs building before nine am and can see him swear in again and take picture. Is that it. I thought they would have a dinner or something with the parents. Help me
GrandmaBarB: You are so very welcome. Glad to be a part of this Grandma Group with you and the others.
GMom's daughter. Good luck to your sailor....and thanks for the compliment on my Munchkin
