Judy, we don't know each other yet, but I am very sorry to hear about your illness. I will keep you in my prayers during this very difficult time of your life for a promise of courage, strength & hope.

Hi Susan, thank you, I feel the same about our group I wish I had found it alot earlier last year but Im so glad I did we have a great bunch of Caring and Supportive Navy Moms/Wifes, we had a Luncheon in April and it was wonderful, keep checking on here because we are hoping to get together again and perhaps you would like to join us its just been a bit tough these past months some of us have been sick but we will  bounce back.Take Care,MariaNavy25

My Dear Friend Judy, My Prayers for You have been there since the day I met you this past April and now Ill be doing alot more for you including Im giving your name to my Mom to add you to her list she prays everyday for over 2 hours in the morning and then again before she goes to sleep.Im here for you you have my number anytime you want to give me a call im a good listener as you know I go to sleep very late and for now Im still home on disability so you can reach me during the day as well. I wish I was able to drive but still cant do that yet because I would have gone with you for the tests.Please show Chris my number in case you do need surgery for him if he can to give me a quick call. Thank God the nodes were not affected and will be praying that everything turns out benign.You are a wonderful and strong woman and a fighter you will overcome this also.Big Navy Hug ,Love Maria Call Mexoxoxox

Sorry ladies, the advice for Boot Camp was meant for Tammy. Congratulations Maria on your sons one year anniversary. Time does go by very fast as they are always striving to make their Qualifications. I have always admired Donna's profile page for putting such a very personal touch with all the pictures & playlist. I thoroughly enjoy looking,reading & just listening to all of you.

Hello Ladies, my name is Susan from Williamstown NJ. I have been reading all of your comments for many months now. My oldest son has been in the Navy since 2005, and just got back from his 1st deployment in May. He is a Nuclear Power Electrical Engineer Technician aboard the USS San Francisco Sub stationed at San Diego.My youngest son has been in the Air Force, since 2009, and is in his last bit of training as a Special OPS Combat Air Traffic Controller, an extremely tough training course very similar to the Navy Seals. They work side by side on many missions.

Dawn, you caught my attention with all your "Great Advice" for Boot Camp. Having two son's go through Boot Camp, was very hard on me. Especially the first one. It was still very hard on me with the second son, but at least I already had some insight. Maria, I can't stress enough "How very important it is to write to them every week AND to # them as you write. He may not get them one by one. They may come in a bunch.But write,write,write!!!! I didn't write everyday, but I wrote at least twice a week. That is what both of my sons said "pulled" them through Boot Camp!!! Make sure you go to their graduation!!! There were a few sailors who didn't have families there. Make sure financially you start making plans for that month when that time comes around. Another great support system for all Mothers, are the Blue Star Mothers of America Inc.. Check out their website it's another wonderful support sytem.

Hi Tammy, Welcome Aboard to Our Jersey Group its a Wonderful Group we are all a Great Support for each other and youll learn alot from this group and N4M website once you get connected with your sons PIR group you'll be surprised how many new friends you are going to have. I started with my PIR Group and now I have over 10 groups that I chat with but Im closest to My Jersey Group and my PIR Group as you see my son is 1yr. today he joined the Navy and it was the smartest thing he ever did.BootCamp toughest thing is the letting Go and the Not Knowing much about them but Hang in there any questions you have just let us know and we all fill you in as best as we can on what to expect.I agree on keeping yourself busy writting him lots and lots of letters its a major support for your son always be very positive,supportive and youll find in your own way to communicate with him in a very special way.My son is my only child and we were very close and I felt so empty inside when he left but Thank God I decided to join N4M word of mouth from one of my patients where I work her son had joined in 2009 and she said it was an amazing site because we are all in the same Boat in our case "SHIP" and  we all understand what we are feeling.One of the things that I found calming for Me was to search everywhere for Quotes that were supportive and inspiring and I would include those in my letters so he would always have a new one coming his way and for my son as well it was good to receive them and they meant alot to him.He even included one in part of a tatto that he designed himself and has even added another on his facebook page so that was one of our connections so Im sure you will find something between each other and these letters can bring you both closer than you ever were.Good Luck and make sure you keep your cell phone with you 24/7 Stay in Touch.Maria
