I am looking to get a charter for Navy Mother's Club of America. I need 8 people to be a charter. I will get more information, but was wondering if anyone was interested.

Hello ladies - I would like everyone to look up above at the discussions and see that I posted a new meet/greet. I would like to plan it for the last Saturday in July, or first one in August.

Realize that you will NOT hear from him on the phone. Spencer called me twice the whole time at basic - one when he got there, and then one Sunday when they let them make a phone call. I did get letters. That is one thing they have them do is write home.
I have to be honest, it was really stressful for me. This is the military - they want you to follow their orders, do what they say, etc, so they take the 8 weeks to do that. Alex is going to be stressed, and if he(?) is like everyone else, or a others, he will wonder why he signed up, and want out. Just realize it will pass and everything will be fine.
That was the hardest 8 weeks for me. But their are good groups on this site, and there are alot of people that will be there to answer questions.

Hope it doesn't rain all day for you, Carolyn. Hope you can still have a fun day.
To all, Happy Fourth of July. Thanks to your sailors for helping to keep our freedoms.

So sorry to hear that, Becky. Keep us informed if you can. Sure hope she doesn't have to be involved. Did you do any of the BSM stuff for the week?
