Welcome NVMom! Best wishes for your daughter as she starts her journey in the Navy. Leann is right on about the Blue Star Mom's group here in Reno. It is GREAT! If it's too difficult to get to Reno for the meetings, look online at the Blue Star Mom's website. I think there might be a chapter near you. One of the Mom's in this N4M group lives in Gardnerville. Her username is Proudmomx4. Maybe you can connect.
I would love to coordinate another meet & greet for northern Nevada Moms. Maybe once the weather gets more stable.

My son is a culinary specialist and yes it was good to hear his voice. He said they were doing good.

Good job and keep being positive for him! You are lucky that you've been able to hear from him twice. That must mean he and his division are doing well. What rating is he going in as? My son is going Nuke.

I have gotten the form letter and have been lucky enough to talk to him twice already. He is homesick, but he says he is doing good. I'm waiting for his first real letter, should be here in a few days. I am staying strong for him.

I'm in Reno. We lived in So Lake Tahoe too, and actually got married there. We have been down here for the last 16 years. We lived in Tahoe for about 8 years. We lived in Meyers for 4 years. Then we spent a couple years in Kings Beach. Then moved back to South Shore for a year or so. I miss the snow and the pine trees.
I totally understand what you mean about not being able to hear from your son. That will definitely be the hardest part. My son is in his HS marching band and I love being a part of all he is doing. It will be hard not hearing what he's doing. I'm glad that there is so much info here on N4M to keep me in the know.
Have you gotten the form letter yet? Start counting Fridays til PIR. You can do this!

Thank you sierrascrapper, what part of northern Nevada are you from?? My family and I lived in South Lake Tahoe about 5 1/2yrs ago.
I have joined Bootcamp moms it is a very helpful group. The empty nest syndrome is no fun. It wouldn't be so bad if I could talk or text him everyday.
I have found myself doing some extra spring cleaning lol to preoccupy my mind.

Welcome Disneygirl...my son hasn't left yet, he leaves on 7/1 just a couple weeks after he graduates high school. We live in Northern Nevada. I know there a quite a few Moms who live in Southern Nevada in this group. If you click on View All under the photos on the right, you can see where they live and send a friend request to them.
I am so fearful of the empty nest idea myself. I have twin boys. Only one is going into the Navy, his brother is most likely going to go out of state for college. They are our only kids. There is a group on N4M for emptynesters. Have you joined the Bootcamp Moms group yet? That will be VERY helpful to you during this time he is away at BC. Hugs to you and hang in there, PIR will be here before you know it. A lot of Moms try to keep themselves very busy to occupy their time. Do you have a favorite hobby? Maybe it's time to start purging closets and organizing in your home.

Thank you a fellow navy mom told me about the group. My son is 18 just fresh out of high school and he is my youngest and only son. I am trying to handle the best I can, but have the worst case of empty nest syndrome. I didn't seem to have this hard of a time when my girls left home, but I think it's because I could talk and text them whenever I wanted.
