Blondie those are beautiful pictures, looks like everyone is doing well. How long do you get to stay with your daughter? Enjoy every minute!
mamaT, glad you got to talk to your daughter. Even those formal informational calls make us smile inside. Just hearing their voices and knowing that they're doing well makes us feel better. Yes, it is hard to be away from them but we get used to it and we survive. Our girls are doing what they want to do and we support them just as we would have wanted our mother's support back when we were their age. My girl has been gone almost 2 years now and I miss her every day still.

A lot of Happy/good news. Yeah!!!!! Those who are struggling, the Navy wants them to succeed and will help. If they get set back, they just have to wait on another group to class up or join another class that is at that level or it use to mean that. it's been awhile.
Hugs to all you Mama's and Grandmama's hope this brings a smile

Hope everyone had a Blessed Easter. My day was great - Hubby and I got to go to Church with both my daughters, and we had Easter dinner together. Son in law was not able to join us as he had a 24 hour shift as a Paramedic. That young man works long hours between one more month of school, all his clinicals, and working too!!! We figured the last time we had Easter together was in 2008!!!!
Catsmom,
How exciting that your new granddaughter is almost ready to make her entrance. Can't wait to see pictures!!!
Cookie93,
So sorry she is going through this, but she will make it. And it will mean so much more for all her hard work.
bbcregular,
So happy that your girl passed!!!! BZ to her!! It's good that you got to visit with her before since you won't get to see her again before she heads off to her next duty station!!!!
Yay Momma'sGirl!!! We know how proud you are!!! It's hard on us, but what we get in the end - - priceless!!!
brownsugar41,
Just like Cookie's daughter, there are instructors who are there to help her out!! Yes, she may not graduate with her division, worst case scenario, but she will eventually. My daughter had a hard time doing that float in OCS and she struggled. I told her, and you should pass along to your daughter - as hard as it feels, she needs to relax and not fight it!!! My daughter would start to panic and sink like a rock!! She really had to overcome that fear and relax and she passed!!! I hope your daughter makes it!!! Yes, keep encouraging her!!!
This is our last week in Oklahoma. Going to visit a Navy Mom for a couple days next week, then continuing our travels.

Momma'sGirl I see that you got your call, yea! Nothing better than hearing their voices over the phone!
I think this group was just super quiet over the holiday. You're not doing anything wrong that I'm aware of, we're just quiet. It's easier for me to get on with my computer so I don't comment much when I'm not at work.
What rate is your daughter pursuing?

Hi Guys,
Got a email from daughter she said she is scared she will not pass the prone float part of swim test, she has been taking lessons and said she had one try to pass that part of test, and if not she will be set back. well can anyone tell me what that means and how long will she be set back for and when will she graduate? im trying to encourage her but i think she scared she isnt going to pass, because she been trying for a while and dont have it yet. any suggestions or thoughts

Finally got our call today! She seems to be doing well. I miss her like crazy but she is doing what she planned to do, so I will just say that I am one proud mama!

Cookie93, my daughter could not do a proper push-up in BC. They worked with her till she was able to pass. Prayers for your daughter. Her determination and those instructors will get her to pass her PR.
Ladies my daughter passed her DLPT!! She will receive her signing bonus, her AA degree, and rank up to Petty Officer. Sad that she will not be coming home before she goes to her next location. She ships out before the month is over. We are so happy that we were in Monterey for 3 months and spent time with her. Proud of the determination of our strong girls.
Happy RESURRECTION SUNDAY. HE LIVES!

Hi! My daughter has been in FIT for 2 weeks, it has been hard. She missed her PIR on 4/7, but we are still very proud of her. She is determined to finish.
