Comment by SAwife11 on February 26, 2011 at 8:46pm: my fiance just left for BC feb 23, 2011. i miss him so much! anyone else have an SR at bootcamp?

Comment by waiting for you (SHIP 3 DIV 080) on February 26, 2011 at 11:36am: I took my 4month old girl to PIR weekend and she did well, everyone loves her! lol she was passed around and loved on so much, she passed out towards the end of it.

Comment by camenae on February 25, 2011 at 4:56pm: I, personally, did not. However, the family in front of us in the bleachers had a 4 month old baby. They had about 5 or 6 people in their party. When the baby would start to cry, they would pass him so he would stop. My mom and I even talked to him for a bit, which helped for a while. Finally, when he just couldn't get settled (he was fighting sleep BIG time), one of the family member's got up and took the baby in the other room away.

Comment by takemewithy0u (USS Hartford 768) on February 21, 2011 at 10:47am: @proudNAVYwife- I'm in Groton.

Comment by kshafer14 on February 13, 2011 at 10:25pm: My husband is at his A school in California. He's just Reserves so there was no point in me moving out there. I guess I had built myself up on being able to talk to him so much more once he left Great Lakes that I didnt think about him have watches, and having to study so much. And on top of that my husband is the type of guy who can make friends with anyone(I'm too shy), so sometimes its just a quick five minute phone call or a text. I guess I'm just having a hard time dealing with it. I know it all sounds selfish because I should've thought more into it and expected it but I need advice from some people who understand. How do you deal with not being able to talk as long as you want? How do you deal with it all?

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on February 9, 2011 at 2:50am: So I have a question that I am pretty sure most of you have had or have heard about. My husband is currently in San Diego CA as a 4 year and his schooling is only 9 weeks. At 5 weeks into the schooling he will have the opportunity to resign for a 6 year STG and his schooling will be about a year long. Will we get orders to move me out for his schooling before it starts in my husbands downtime between schools or is it up to me to move.. or is it up to us to move finacially all on our own. I know every situation is different.. I am trying to find general advise about it due to wanting to be out there sooner.. cause he is going to be out there for 5 more months with all the little schooling that count as A school. Also my BAH isnt near as much as San Diegos.. so if I do move can I put in for it to be changed... I have heard that I could lose it if I do.. so I am wondering if anyone has been in this situation or knows someone who has been who has some good solid information for me. Please and thank you so much for your time and knowledge!

Comment by camenae on February 5, 2011 at 7:51pm: Christine, which online university are you using? I'm looking into doing that as well but all the information is confusing to me! I would hate to spend that much money and then use one that's not accredited.
