Good evening all Hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend. Ours was quiet. Was hoping for a phone call today, but that's okay.l
sailor mom 1- have safe trip and know that prayers and hugs are with you all the way. Make sure you keep in touch so we know all is okay.
Talked to my SR girlfriends mom and it looks like I might be able to make the meet and greet after all. I know I asked before - is ours going to be at the Ramada? If not, when and where? -

Kat as far as I know the M&G is from 6-8 at the Ramada. I guess we will decide that the closer it gets on the main 10/1 page. If we as a group sip13 Div 330 want to meet elsewhere then we need to decide that. Our guys should start Hell Week tomorrow if I have the weeks right. 4-1 starts tomorrow. We had a good weekend and holiday. I worked yesterday! lol I am getting excited about meeting everyone to put a face with name. And of course to see my boy!!!!! Have a great day!

I am so excited to see Ship 13 Div 330. I thought ahhhh - these people know people that know my son....not sure how but that brings me a bit of peace...does that sound silly? I am so excited to go to Great Lakes and see my son on the 1st. (As I am sure everyone is). I look forward to talk to you all.

Hi BrendaF! Glad you found our group too! And I know exactly what you are talking about, how you feel better to know that someone knows your son! Welcome to the group and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. If one of us doesn't know we can find out! Have a great day!

Welcome Brenda! Glad you found us! Can't wait to meet everyone at graduation and put faces to names and match sailors to Moms! Glad to have you here with us!

Welcome BrendaF. No it is not silly. I also felt comfort when I found out my son's ship and division.
Even if they haven't had the chance to meet and talk they are in the same group and it makes us moms hearts a little easier. My son said they don't get a chance to really bond other than working but that he has some great guys in the bunks right around his. Looking forward to meeting some of the moms/wives who have been my support line on here for this wild, crazy journey we have embarked on.
Hope all have a great day. -
