When my Navy Mom group was in Florida last month, we spent the day in St. Augustine.  tI was really fun !!!  We had lunch with my sailor and one of his friends.  What a wonderful trip it was.

Hi all, my son just got back from SERE......and we are looking into visiting Jax.  I found the pics posted on Heritage Cottages, those look really nice.  Has anyone recently stayed in them?

Thanks.

I have been on this site for several months now. But just saw the group for mom's with sailors stationed at NAS JAX. My oldest son has been at NAS Jax since feb. He is an AT2 and has been in for 5 yrs now. We moved to Jacksonville also when he did. Our middle son is at A school in Pensacola. He is CTM.

hey people, are there any family members of the HSM-70? If so, look for the command's FRG page on Facebook. you can find it under HSM-70 Family Readiness Group.

My son also said it's hot already in JAX.  I'll be there in June and then again In July.  We're from Calif. so we're used to HOT but not HUMID.  NDJ, I'll bet it was great to be there during the Aviation Centennial.  My son said there were a lot of folks there.  My niece stayed at the Navy Lodge when she visited him, the Navy person just has to check you in, and he's letting us borrow his truck so hopefully it will all work out.  We already have reservations. 

 

Anyone here attend an AWO graduation?  Any tips?  One of my trips is for that purpose. YEAH!

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on April 8, 2011 at 8:34pm

Thanks for the info on the Navy Lodge.  I'll only be there for 2 nights, one at each end of a weekend so just need a place to sleep. 

 

That's exciting about the P-8 arriving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

What a beautiful picture.....thank you NavyDadJim for the group....my son is very excited to be going to Jax.  He has heard good things....he will be there later in the week.  I will browse the discussions to learn as much as I can.....any insight is much appreciated.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

That Pool won't open till may...but the indoor pool will be open for about another month before it undergoes some reconstruction. Indoor hours are 0530-0800, 1100-1300, and 1630-2000. And guest admission is $3.

The lodge is a nice place to stay, better than your average hotel, but if there's space the cottages (cabins) cost the same and its like you have the luxury of being in your own home...2 bedroom, 1 bath, living room, dining room, fully equipt kitchen, washer and dryer, porch, etc. The only issue is there is only 10or 12 of them so it's hit or miss if there will be one available, sometimes I call and they have one available the day of other times I call and there won't be a vacancy for a month. 904-542-3138 Good luck and I hope you enjoy your stay! Hopefully we will have better weather for you! Poor spring breakers are getting overcast and rain and even a little cold front this week. Crazy!

Hey everyone! I havnt written here in quite some time... My boyfriends back from deployment! Unfortunately he got hurt which caused him to be back already, but hopefully it turns out to be something where he can still work his job, he's really worried about that. I'm just glad to have him back and safe! He shocked me I was at work and got a call from his cell phone, i near panicked because I thought he was in Afghanistan! Haha.. He is planning on visiting me in two weeks here at school in TN and then we're going to drive home together to see our families in New York! Lots of travels ahead, I'm so excited I can't wait! Just thought I'd update you all since I havnt been around for some time! Hope everyones doing good as well!! =)

Oh and Tee - I stayed in the navy lodge there before and I liked it. It has a mini kitchen with stovetop micro and fridge and all utensils and in the lobby there are machines just incase you forget anything (I must say I always forget something) it's also pretty close to walk places, me and my boyfriend walked around a lot and we went to the clubhouse on the golf course to eat one day which was nice and close! :)
