Close to a year now and what a ride!! Mike is in Japan. They did joint exercises in Australia during the summer. He finally got a room in the barraks. Loves Japan, navy not so much. We are hoping to visit in Japan next fall or the following spring (2014-2015). Don't hear from him nearly often enough.

Congratulations GNLmom and your new Marine. My son came home for the 4 day Labor Day weekend. It's amazing to see how mature he is now. He's really enjoying being in the Navy and every time I put on my t shirt I'm reminded of our time together.

Hello All! It's been a rough 13 weeks, but it's almost over. My son just finished with the CRUCIBLE and is now a UNITED STATES MARINE!!! We leave for San Diego in one week for his Graduation and to bring him home for 10 days of leave. I got to see his platoon video last night. I CRIED LIKE A BABY when I saw him! My daughter is home with us for one more week. She arrived last week. We were going to surprise my son at graduation wwith her being there, but that fell thru. Her orders were changed at the last minute. So now instead of leaving for San Diego with us on Thursday, she leaves to report to her ship. Very heart breaking, as he was really wanting to see his sister, since it's been since Christmas when she was last home. But that's military for ya. 

Here is pics of them both sailor.jpg marine.jpg

Hi All!  GNLmom almost made me cry!  I miss everyone & I didn't realize that until I saw her familiar name:)

We will be visiting our sailor next week.  He was able to come home for Christmas, but we haven't seen him since.  He will have 2 weeks leave at the end of July too.

He's been enjoying his time in the Navy & I'm still a "Proud Navy Mom"!!

 

Hope everyone is well & Happy 4th of July!!

HI everyone! wanted to check inand see how you were doing. It's been almost a year since this group started boot camp. WOW!! Can't believe it's been that long already. My sailor will be home for a couple of weeks at the end of August before having to report for duty at her ship. I am excited to see her again. It's been since the Christmas stand down since I have gotten to see her. I am counting fdown the days, only 59 days to go!

On a more solomn note, my son left 2 weeks ago for his boot camp in San Diego. I got his FORM letter this past Thursday. I have joined the Marine Family network and they are very informative and supportive. Maybe it's because I have so much time invested with this group already, but I feel more comfortable coming to you all for support. Guess I gotta learn to make new friends again, lol. His graduation is mid September and I am planning my trip. Already looking for hotels and have been checking flights since February. 

I hope everyone is doing good and their sailors too! will check back later. LOVE YOU LIKE FAMILY!!

Hi all,

Just thought I would check in a see what everyone is up too.. My sailor is doing good, is at his first duty station for at least 2 years.. bought a car.. and is happy.. I on the other hand decided to make some life changes..(think its my mid life crisis) I have left my job of 12 years and decided to go back to school!! I am in a CNA class now, will graduate in May and then I am going to take the CMA and Home health Aide classes.. My goal is to work for Hospice.. I have thrown myself into certain organizations that support our military, met and had lunch with two other navy moms last sunday, and have really been happy with my new life..

So.. even though I think it is my midlife crisis,LOL I am having alot of fun and feel so content.. And here I was dreading the empty nest syndrome!! LOL

Military friends, I just wanted to caution you not to accept friend requests from other "navy wives" you don't personally know or don't have mutual friends with (even then be cautious). In the last two days, both a local fb navy wives group and a Hawaii military community group I'm on have had individuals with fake profiles request adds to the group and then add other navy spouses as friends. The profiles are clearly fake (stolen pictures from other wives blogs, etc), and the profiles only created a day or two prior. When questioned about their authenticity, the profiles suddenly get deleted. The incidents will be reported to NICS but I wanted to remind EVERYONE to be cautious. Practice OPSEC and PERSEC and DON'T hint at anything. Al Qaeda called for its members to glean info about military member and their FAMILIES via social networking a year or so ago so please be overly cautious. Loose lips DO sink ships.....remember the USS Cole?!?! Feel free to repost

Gosh haven't been on here in a while but I have been reading the posts through my email. My sailor is still in GL getting ready to start C school next month. She gets to come home late August then reports for duty in September. She will miss her brother's high school graduation but hopes to attend his marine boot camp graduation before going to her station. I am very proud of her and her accomplishments. She graduated A school 2nd in her class. She has made lots of friends who has now become her new family and I am very glad she has them. I miss her but we do talk/text/video chat at least 4 or 5 times a week so its not as bad as boot camp. My son leaves for San Diego 2 days after graduating high school. My separation anxiety is starting to kick in. I burst into tears the other day at work. This one is gonna be harder on me cause he's the baby and mama's boy. I have already joined the marine parents site, but I already know I have a wonderful support group with my fellow momsters. Take care everyone and I will check in again soon.

Looks like this group quieted down a lot in the last six months while our sailors/airmen are flung about the country and world.

I'm the mom of a future ATI who is still in Pensacola since the day after PIR (with a great Christmas trip home to San Francisco). We went to visit her in Pensacola 2 weekends ago for her 20th birthday and had a GREAT time spending 2 whole days with her seeing the sights and having fresh gulf seafood and enjoying the beautiful sunny (but cold) weather and white sand beaches of Florida.

She's still in Pensacola A school until May, but we're sitting on pins and needles until mid-April when she finds out where C school will be and where she will be working as an ATI after that. We're hoping for somewhere close to California. She's doing so great in A school (#1 in her class) so we're hoping that helps in getting to pick where she's posted.

Good luck to everyone's graduates and hope everyone's Navy careers (short or long term) are flourishing.
