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

Comment by DsMom2020 on September 22, 2024 at 1:52pm: I had an amazing birthday - one last family vacation. It was like the old days (pre Navy) - went to Hawaii with hubby, sis, her hubby, neice, nephew, and best of all, my son (and his GF). My heart was singing with joy!! Best time ever but did feel extra sad as it neared the end. Mourning the future family vacations son will miss…. I know you all can relate.

My son had his NEC (?) restored last week and got his soft orders so I’m guessing he’s down to a month or two before moving on. Looks like he’ll be going to Pearl Harbor. That’s his first choice. He really wanted an S9G but he says there were none in San Diego. So, San Diego was his second choice (the entire families 1st choice since we live an hour away)! I am happy for him that it looks like he’ll get the boat he wants. I guess one of the subs out of Pearl is going to be Co-Ed but he asked for the other one. I think he has a buddy already on the boat he wants too. Offered him his extra bedroom while he gets situated. That’s a big relief. Anyway, it’s starting to get real. I hope he comes home on his way there. We will have one huge party to send him on his way!

HK in That poem is spot on. Add pride to the list of emotions tho.

Thought I’d share a photo of a wall art my son gave me his first Christmas in the Navy. I don’t know how to make it smaller to fit the screen…,

Comment by Proud Momma on September 22, 2024 at 12:29pm: What’s wrong with her you ask, what’s the

matter you say?

Oh, didn’t you know…. she had to say “see ya later, be safe, love Mom today.”

Her mind and heart is elsewhere…. Probably searching the memories of many years ago….

Thinking of that little boy who is now a man and how she raised him up and then one day had to watch him go.

She safeguards her heart and every day and night she prays

She knows that that there are going to be times when he’s put in harms way.

She trusts in the Navy, Marines, Army, Air Force and National Guard… she trusts in America too.

She trusts in the tradition, the Nations Anthem…. The Red, the White and the Blue.

But it is God who she cries out to on those stressful days and sleepless nights.

He carries her, He gives her grace…. He is the one who sets the path right.

When you see her crying as she sings the Star Spangled Banner, or sees a young man dressed in his Blues…..

Be there for her don’t judge her… She is the one who let go of that boy so he could become a man and fight for you.

She goes through so many emotions, fears, anxiety and tears….. just like so many others….

There is a title for these strong ladies made of steel….

They are called Military Mothers.

Comment by Chipmunk on September 18, 2024 at 1:34pm: B'sNukeMom - Aww!! How sweet! Such a little man, I love the hat!!

Seahawks12 - Your son's first day may depend. If he got any paperwork or other information that needed to be shared with him out of the way during Indoc, then they will probably hit the floor running with instruction. Be sure to read through my discussion above, Nuke A school daily schedule

Feel free to ask your sailor about any updates to what I have shared and then post a comment at the end. I added to that discussion as my son progressed. My son was an ET, so some of their classes were slightly different. As I recall, they did one subject at a time in A school. In Power school they did 3 subjects, and all of the rates were together, I believe. My son commented on how the three different rates ended up helping each other with their work depending on what the subject was and who had more training with which one.

Comment by Seahawks12 on September 16, 2024 at 6:14pm: MomofJoseph, thank you so much! His first day of class was today. Not sure of what happens on the first day. I hope he had a good first day of class. He is a EM.
