DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

I was ok with him joining, I tried to enlist in the navy out of HS but then got pregnant and didnt go... I sill think about it all the time... I know the change will be a good one... and i keep telling myself we did this to have a better life for our family... I hope you have a happy 2011!

Comment by Lex on January 1, 2011 at 10:01pm: heather- I kno exactly how you feel!! imy hubby left in november and is graduating on the 14th. I hated the decision when he told me this is what he wanted to do I didn't want him to leave me for two months and he was also leaving our daughter the change will b a great change! I was liking the fact that it would make him grow up alittle but he hasn't lost his sense of humor!! Just became more disaplined and mature!! I have found out the navy is a great place to be!! And you will always b taken care of and I felttoo like I lost my bestfriend it'll make you guys so strong and especially you it has made me so strong and I kno when he's back here with me he'll want to be the very best husband and father he can be and same for ur hubby don't be afraid of change!!

Comment by mlynnc2 on December 31, 2010 at 6:21pm: My husband left for bootcamp Dec 14th. On the grad paper where he could write the letter he said he would be writing home on dec 26t has anyone got a letter from SHIP 09 DIV 75 yet?

Comment by just a girl with a broken heart on December 30, 2010 at 2:46am: Hi Ladies! My name is Heather, My husband left for Basic on 12/13 his grad date is 2/11. He is Ship 09 Div 074 I am feeling lost with this stuff. I have not gotten any letters, just got the pre written fill in the blank letter with his address, grad date
and a few lines he wrote me on the bottom of the last page....

I must say this has been alot harder than I thought it was going to be. in the 5 years we have been together we have not been apart more than a week! Its not that I am so dependent on him I cant get by, its
just that I feel like I lost my best friend. I am so scared of basic
changing him.... I write to him everyday!

Anyway, my act was just approved so I thought I'd say "Hello" and find some support....

Comment by Sam0618 on December 29, 2010 at 4:15pm: any navy wives in san diego?

Comment by aprul(ship11,div63) on December 27, 2010 at 3:54pm: We'll...I am at work and the mailman came by and what do you know...2 letters were in the mail...YEAH! So you all should be receiving something soon! I mean I live in Texas and they made it all the way down here. I am sending lots of prayers your way and hope you all get letters soon!

So I will share a few words...he is ready to leave not because it is hard but because he misses our son and me. Most of his division is 18-21 and he is 28! He is Master at Arms so he said it has ups and downs...up is first in chow line down is when the other recruits dont listen or cant remember things he gets in trouble. He said it is cold but with all the gear it is not too bad. He asked how things were on the home front and if I could hand write letters so their more personal...well i would but he doesnt know I hurt my writing wrist so typed letters only! He says he is working hard so he gets phone calls...well it paid off because I have received two besides the I am here call! Then said some personal stuff to our son and me...it is so bittersweet and I am so grateful for everything he is doing for us! Just cant wait till he is done and we can move with him!

Good luck to all the SR's and hope all of you get letters soon! PIR 2-11-11 cant come soon enough!
