Comment by MomofJoseph on August 26, 2024 at 5:08pm: Hi, Canuka ! I appreciate your update! I just love this site because we really do have so much in common with so many people in this group!!!

My Sailor son just finished completing a riders course and is planning on getting a motorcycle. His dad and I are also not on board, but we keep reminding ourselves that he is an "adult" (quotation marks are intentional - LOL). He called today to say that he mailed me the paperwork for the DMV because he needs me to put a check in it that he will reimburse me for. I appreciate that he trusts me to do it (even though he knows I don't approve). But I sure hope USPS is SLOW in delivering the mail!

Comment by Canuka on August 24, 2024 at 2:23pm: Hello All!

I was wondering why N4M had gone so silent then discovered nearly 100 messages in my SPAM. So, will have to get that fixed.

My son's ship is home after 2 months at RimPac (exercises with 29 other countries) and several weeks in Hawaii, including some sports interactions.

My Mother's Day "gift" was a motorcycle that he brought home for himself. Dad & I are not totally on board because his primary reason is wanting to get to the base quicker. That is the worst and most dangerous time to be on the freeways & bridge, especially on a motorcycle. But he is a big boy and there is nothing we can do about it.

A little bit of me is envious of you moms who don't know what your sailor is up to on a daily basis. I am a basket-case every time he leaves on the motorcycle, until he safely returns. So far, he is still practicing but has some time until the Navy takes him away again.

Hubby and I just got back from a hot three-week trip across the Gulf Coast. Not the best timing but we had expiring airline vouchers. He wants to visit all major league baseball teams (5 on this trip, 4 left) while I am into state capitols. We drove 3000 miles between Dallas & Miami; also visited almost a dozen museums including the USS Lexington, USS Alabama & USS Texas, Pacific War Museum (in Nimitz hometown), WWII Museum (New Orleans) & Naval Aviation Museum (Pensacola). Plus, a harrowing drive through Hurricane Debby-hey we are Californians. We are glad to be back where it is a little bit cooler.

I am happy to catch up on the news of your sailors and families.

Comment by MomofJoseph on August 20, 2024 at 5:05pm: Welcome, Bonnie! When you get a chance, please introduce yourself and let us know about your Sailor! My son is a Nuke assigned to a submarine. He went to bootcamp Sept 2021 and finished Nuke School almost one year ago.
