Thought I would start a group for the families of sailors stationed in NY for Prototype. It will be nice to chat about what is going on with our sailors whether it is good or bad so that we can support each other. I have connected with many people on this site but it is always nice to meet others that are going through the same things together. Also if you have had a sailor in NY for an extended amount of time then you can help the new ones just coming in on what to expect.

Yay Patti and Laura! So happy that your sailors are home on leave ;-) Enjoy the time with them and like NancyJo said make sure to get lots and lots of hugs!
Wendy4Cody - have fun on your visit to BS. We had a great time over Easter with our son! So has your son not started classes yet or is this a different part of the schooling that starts in September? Our son got there in January and started class on 4/14/14. I think he said he goes on "On-Crew" around the beginning of June.
Have a great day - and stay Happy!
I'm jealous of all you moms getting to see your sailors! Really, I'm happy for you. It sounds wonderful. Remember, extra hugs for those of us who aren't hugging their own!
Thanks everyone! Of course it was too quick of a trip, but we will take what we can get!
Mommamac - yes they do have a good group of friends and it was nice for us to finally meet them! It makes me happy to see them all so happy ;-) We are hoping to send the college boy to visit over the summer. He hasn't been able to go to anything but BC graduation - seems like it's always finals time for him LOL. Promised him a trip to NY to see his brother and he really wants to go to the Baseball Hall of Fame.....You're right - they should be starting "on crew" by then and will have 4 day weekends once in a while. Just have to get the timing right!
Happy Monday!
B'sNukeMoM, what a great photo. Glad it went well. Looks like the weather was great, too! He looks a lot like Mama!
