JAMI - I was interested in your comment about your DS transitioning between aircraft. I wondered if they ever did that. Can you share what he is transitioning between and why they do that?

Ulua, my DS winged in April 2013. He finished CQs in late May 2014. He was assigned to new squadron in early June of this year.

Welcome to the new Navy 4 Moms! Such great info and support here.
Suzie- loved the patch display, what a nice keepsake.
Judy- I'm so glad you have a chance to visit. I can only imagine what that first deployment for you is like. I know there are many variables in training length during FRS but approx. how many months did it take for your DS to finish this phase of training since his winging?

JFK, just saw on the Today show that the typhoon was 340 miles south of Kadena AFB with 155 mph winds moving NW at 17 mph. They expect it to intensify.
Having been raised in Florida, the good news is they have plenty of warning and would probably fly aircraft out to a safe location.

Welcome, welcome new Moms. This is a wonderful group with some at different points along this journey. Everyone kind and helpful.
Going to see DS this Friday before his first deployment the end of the month. Makes me pretty nervous, but I have to have faith in him and his training.

How is everyone in Kadena? We are worried about the typhoon. Any news?

Suzie...love the display! What a great idea. And sounds like you had a great time!
We're coming up on winging. He's finishing up BFM flights. He was supposed to come this next weekend for my mom's 80th birthday. But they've been delayed due to weather, etc, so they are sending them to El Centro with the WEPS det because all the IPs are going. So, no b-day. Hope they make it back in time for winging!

Thanks, Suzie. He is heading to NAS Oceana, probably by the end of July. But, we all know about Navy time... better not to plan until orders are in hand. And even then, still expect changes! ;-)
