Greetings All! I’ve been lurking on here for a few weeks and figured I’d introduce myself, say thanks SO much for all of the valuable information/LO’s experiences shared, and offer whatever small insight I may have. After all, that’s what this site is all about, right?

I’m rollin’ incognito because my FH (Future Hubby-I figured why not add ANOTHER acronym to the mix, ha!) is currently at OCS and not quite a Candio yet. In any case, I can say I’m not new to the Navy life—I have first-hand knowledge of both NAS North Island and NAS Whidbey (especially the latter); a friend of mine from grad school (plus his lovely wifey) are currently stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii (Kaneohe Bay) as well. He (the friend) is INTEL but is attached to a squadron/carrier wing. So please let me know if I can help/answer any questions about these places. Or anything else for that matter.

Thanks again and I look forward to interacting with everyone :)

Right, but do you become an NFO after you pass all the SNA training? LOL Are you all getting a good laugh out of me!!??

Thanks for all the great info. I am learning so much and realize there is SO much ahead for us. OK another stupid question: What's the difference between an SNA and an NFO?

I like the quilt idea. I can quilt but don't have the time to do it. I embroidered 1 pillowcase for a set of sheets for my best friend. She is waiting on the 2nd one, lol. I did take a picture of the one I made. It is sitting in the camera. I'll see if I can get it off and send it off.

I am currently working on adding patches to a quilt I am making for my son to display in their ward room on ship, I am making the quilt in the colors of the ship and adding the patches to squares in the quilt. I will send along a picture when I get it done.

Just another idea for you mom's who don't have enough to do aleady :)

I haven't done it yet, but have plenty of fabric to do so.... but I'm going to make one for us. My son usually orders an extra patch for his Dad and I. It really is colorful and the black really makes the patches pop out. Most of ones that we get from Mike have the velcro hook already sewn on but you could use the adhesive kind that you can get to put them on also.

That is a great idea. I may even steal it to display my daughter's Irish dance medals.

I wanted to share a gift idea that I did for my son's birthday. When I visited him last fall, I noticed that he had bunch of patches on his desk. Over the years he has received (and designed a bunch of them) patches for detachments, squadrons and he even got 2 for firing a sidewinder missile. What I did was order some black velcro type of fabric by the yard (got it at Seattle Fabrics). They have all different colors but black you can order just one yard. I put it on some foam core board with adhesive and then used metal frame parts that you can buy at Michaels or Hobby Lobby (to fit what ever shape you want) to frame it. Your pilot can add to his/her collection - take off and add to their hearts desire. Nice way to frame them and not lose them during moves. Just a thought.
