I stumble around here in an attempt to figure out how to use it, so if I duplicate or just do weird stuff, please pardon me. Does anyone here have a sailor in Hawaii?

Hi to all PA Navy Moms. I haven't been on this list for a long while because my son left the Navy and is now in College. I'm here to ask you all for your help. As you know, the state of PA hasn't passed a budget. But what most people don't know is that our Vets in college are not getting the PA grant money they were promised. They need that grant money to help cover the expenses that the GI bill doesn't cover. We are all paying our taxes, but our sons and daughters are being denied the benefits they were promised by the state. They don't complain or make a fuss. So, it is up to their Navy Moms to alert the rest of the public of their plight. So please help anyway you can. One day, your son or daughter will be a Navy Veteran.

HI al Oh yes i know about the webcam watched the ship leave for deployment I did watch the webcam of the CVN70 coming in But was hoping for a live feed at pier side, this didnt happen. I was really bummed. Lots of families where here and they posted pics. My son was home the morning after they arrived. We had the best 2 WEEKS. He was home the week the Blue Angels were coming in Hearing the jets was another day at the park for him. Now i take much comfort in the fact that he is at San Diego. Communication is so much better.
amy navy mom was your son on the C Vinson??
happy 4TH

Welcome new moms. This site has been quiet.
My son made 1st class this time. We went to the frocking ceremony that was held at the Naval Submarine base in Groton Ct. At the museum in from of the USS Natilius (first nuclear sub).
He was in Japan for 3rd and 2nd class advancements. I was thrilled to attend this.
The admiral (recruiting) was there, but my son asked that I pin him. I was so nervous. They told me to line up the two pins with the holes left behind. I had my contacts in and couldn't see the holes. I was afraid to make new holes in his shirt. The admiral was assisting me and whispered, "just push it in, we will get the ruler out tomorrow".
The backdrop across the river is the coast guard academy. We visited it the next day.
I have now toured West Point (grandson born there) and the Coast Guard Academy. I recommend going to Groton, Ct. There is so much history in the area and it is so clean and picturesque.
