Congratulations JayDee and your beautiful daughter!! Yes, time does fly! Can't believe it's been 8 years for my officer daughter, not including the two years she was "in" but finishing her college degree!!! And sailor son has been in for 17 years!!! Wednesday was the 127th birthday for the Chief Petty Officer Mess. I told him 127 looked good on him!!!!
Hope all is well with all our wonderful Moms and their sailors!!!

Thanks Oleander! I'm over here laughing at that simple misspell. Lets all be unbearable together!

Time does fly! On my daughter's 5th anniversary she flew back to the states, she'd been over seas for over 4 years! She was in for a total of 10 years before she left to get married and have T. Crazy life. In Aug. we will celebrate (or not) her 4th anniversary out of the Navy. we've been through A Lot together!
She will be heading to England later this year, her husband is still in.

"without" all of you wonderful ladies. (haha, where's auto correct when you really need it?)

Wow! Congratulations to you and your incredible sailor JayDee! Isn't is amazing that during bc we felt like the minutes were days and the days were years!? Since then there've been underways, deployments, training, inspections, advancements... hardly seems possible. Looks like your sailor enlisted just about a month after mine. August 5th will be 5 years since my girl reported to her ship.
I've said it before but I'll say it again, with all of you wonderful ladies this navy journey would have been unbearable! So happy to have found you, so glad we're "in the same boat"!

I just realized that today is the 5th year anniversary of the day my daughter enlisted. It was 3 years ago today that she got her first orders after finishing her schooling. How that time has flown.
