Comment by diannep on August 18, 2012 at 9:07pm: mkcmom: Those words send chills, don't they? Just wait until you see him marching in uniform! Wow....

Lala: How wonderful that you were there when she needed you. Definitely a "God thing!" I would love to see her pop in on this site for support from ladies missing their military men/women! Doesn't matter what branch of the service they are in...they all belong to us!

Comment by mkcmom on August 18, 2012 at 8:27pm: Yesterday, got the MOST awesome call "Mom, I'm a United States Sailor!".....I cannot tell you the joy and pride I felt in that moment......today we got more calls from "recruit heaven", he is on cloud 9 and doing great! 6 days an i will be hugging my baby boy! CANNOT WAIT! Thank you Navy4Moms for all your love and support!! This sight is awesome!

Comment by PamperedMom on August 18, 2012 at 6:27pm: Yeah! we got another call tonight from recruit heaven! How awesome is that!!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 18, 2012 at 6:27pm: I was walking out of the hotel early this morning while my family was sleeping and a woman was struggling with two suitcases. I helped out to her car and saw an Army mom decal on her window. I asked about her soldier and she started to cry. She came in yesterday to welcome him home from Afghanistan. He has only been in a year and has already been there for just shy of 7 months and just got back yesterday. She wanted to spend more time with him but has to go back to work so she had to leave today. My heart was breaking for her. We talked for almost an hour and I told her all about this website even though there are very few Army Moms here that doesn't really matter. We all know what it is like to have a loved one in the military and be missing them. The one thing she said that all of us here can relate to is her family just doesn't understand what she is feeling and why it is so hard for her. They think she should be stronger. He is her only child and she is a single mom. She seemed so much better after talking to me/someone who understands what she is going through and is willing to listen to her. I'm not sure how long her son will be back at FT Bragg. He got married right before basic training and his wife, whom he has barely even lived with is 7 months pregnant. This moms name is Carrie, so please keep her and her soldier, his wife and baby in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks so much

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 18, 2012 at 5:59pm: Thanks so much ga mom :-)

Comment by diannep on August 18, 2012 at 10:28am: dsw: That is wonderful that his shipmate added your niece to his guest list. Be sure you know the full name of this sailor when you arrive at RTC! SO glad she can go!

Comment by Mrs. Woody on August 17, 2012 at 10:51pm: I am one very happy and proud Navy Mom!!!! Great Job Division 261!!! I would like to thank the Sailor that added my niece to his guest list. She is very close to my son as she took care of my boys when I battled breast cancer 16 years ago. My Sailor was only 2 1/2 and she was my salvation with my boys. I hope I can thank you in person next Friday!!
