YAY!! I seen my daughter on Facebook. With all the recruits I thought how will I ever see her, but I did. Way in the back of the class standing. She said when she gets tired she stands up so she won't fall asleep. She looses sleep due to being a SL and doing nightly watch.

Jean,
So happy your kitty is coming around. My white and black kitty is my lap cat, and she snuggles up with me every night when we go to bed!!
Blondie,
Safe travels. Can't wait to hear about the wedding.
Baileysmom,
From the sounds of what the ex and his family are doing to those beautiful girls, I think karma needs to come in the form of a steamroller!!! As long as the girls are somewhere else at the time!!!!!!!
rolliesmom,
So exciting!!! It will be here before you know it!!!! I used to live in Waukegan and I was always so excited to see the families and the brand new recruits in the mall or restaurants around town each weekend!!! Always brought back the memories of when we went there for Catherine's graduation!!! I remember the exact spot where we dropped her off on Sunday before heading back to Ohio where we lived then!!!
mall'smom,
July 14th will be here before you know it. I used to love to just spend time with my girl and talk about her plans, her dreams, and just preparing her for what was to come. I see your girl is choosing AC. I have such a soft spot for ACs. When I was serving I was an OS and worked side by side with the ACs - I did the ships, they did the aircraft!!! And now my second daughter is training to be a flight officer so she'll be talking to ACs!!!! Stay with us and we'll help you through these next several months - - and beyond!!

BaileysMom, Yes, I know your daughter is a single Mom, as have mentioned before, and will say as many times as I can; The Navy recruiter lied to Chrissy and she was unable to get custody back after BC. Chrissy decided not to fight her ex and she will try to get custody back after she gets out of the Navy. Chrissy has more separation anxiety then her son. Aidan is now 8 years old, well-adjusted, happy kid. Her ex and I get along well, so I am allowed to see Aidan whenever I ask for him. It does upset Chrissy that he calls his step-mother "Mom" and her "Mother", but I can't blame the kid since she has been him step-mother since he was 2 years old. Chrissy gets visitation when she is in the States and when she is on deployment, she makes him DVDs, calls him, and sends him gifts. Aidan is into superheros , so I told that his mother is a real hero, she is in the Navy fighting the bad guys. He liked that.

Mall'smom....on this adventure right along with you. My daughter graduates from high school next week and leaves for boot camp July 22. I think time may be going just a bit faster for us moms than our girls! :-)
