Please ignore my posts, I have deleted them, do not talk to your sons about them, or make any further mention of it please. Thank you.
OklahomaMama, I too have heard about at least one heroin episode but a lot of underage drinking. They really should know better but some just don't I guess. That was nice of your son to help Annette's son. I hope all goes well with the test, for all of them.
My heart is aching for all the Moms here who have sailors in trouble. Mine son is a long way from home. We live in GA. And I can't imagine being so far away and having him in trouble and not be able to help. I know they are all grown up but they are really still just kids. I hope all turn s out well for everyone and their families. Prayers to all!!!
Good Evening Annette - Tensions are running the gamut in this training school. It is cold, these guys have studied so hard and are tired, cars don't start, they are getting cabin fever, some are not feeling so well, they are away from home and family, they are getting lectured constantly and it is frustrating as all get out not to know which boat you will be on, where you are going, what happens next. Tensions are flaring and some are not taking it too well.
I am so sorry your son was involved in a skirmish of sorts and I hope nothing got broken in his face, adding insult to injury as they say. God bless all our guys and girls and keep them strong and out of harms way. We love them so.
I guess if they make it thru training, they will be ready for anything. Stay strong - you and your son have my prayers.
Annette, hope your son is ok. Sending many well wishes and prayers your way. Hope this has a good outcome.
Annette I'm so sorry to hear about what happened. We send our prays to your family and your sailor. I hope everything comes out ok.
Oh Annette, I'm so sorry to hear about this! I really hope it all ends well. :(
