Comment by lognavymom on September 2, 2024 at 12:21pm: @Chipmunk - I was referring to motorcycle, not bicycle. A bicycle would be ideal, far less terrifying as a mom for sure!

Comment by Chipmunk on September 2, 2024 at 12:19am: lognavymom - A bicycle is not the same as a motorcycle, but that is what my son rode until we were able to get a car to him. The benefit of the bicycle, he was able to ride it around on the NNPTC site as well.

Comment by Chipmunk on August 29, 2024 at 11:20am: DsMom2020 - Have a wonderful time!! And yes, getting leave is a lot more difficult when they are on the ship, whether deployed or not (at least if they aren't in dry dock). But it can also be difficult when they are on shore duty as well, depending on their watch bill and rate.

For my friends, if you haven't seen another message from me, be sure to go to my profile page and check out my comment wall.

Comment by DsMom2020 on August 28, 2024 at 1:23pm: B’sNukeMom - good for you! I hope you have the best time ever!

We are on an extended family vacation right now in one of our favorite family vacation spots. My sis and family join us soon. So hoping our son gets his leave chit approved to join us. I’m thinking it will be the last trip with him for a while. I would guess that leave time is more difficult once deployed. He’s awaiting his orders now, so it’s coming “soon”. His original orders got cancelled due to LIMDU. I recall a sailor friend was in limbo for months while waiting for orders after a medical hold….

Comment by MomofJoseph on August 27, 2024 at 5:06pm: lognavymom - I hope it's going well for your son at Goose Creek so far. When my son was there, he started talking about a motorcycle, but thankfully, it's two years later before he's acted on it. I'm hoping he continues to delay!

Comment by lognavymom on August 27, 2024 at 11:19am: My son arrived at Goose Creek only earlier this month and is already talking about the riders course he can take. Even though I grew up around bikes and I'm not scared of them, it terrifies me to picture him on one! When I was young my dad had the requirements...helmet, long denim pants, close toed shoes etc. Today you see all kinds of crazy stuff. I know it's time for these boys to have a little fun on their own but gosh I worry about their safety. Mostly I worry about those around them on the roads that aren't looking out for motorcycles. They are smart kids or we wouldn't be here, hopefully they make smart decisions and ride responsibly!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on August 27, 2024 at 11:10am: Canuka - no matter how much I try to change it my messages end up in my spam too! It's so frustrating. But luckily I'm on here daily to check on things so I do see what's going on. And your trip sounds like it was awesome! My hubby is doing the same thing, trying to hit all the baseball stadiums. We've checked off quite a few but have a LOT more to go. Hopefully after we retire we'll get to more of them.

The Navy does require sailors to take a motorcycle safety course which is good. And remember, one of the most important things is to WEAR FULL RIDING GEAR! I can't emphasize that enough.
