21 days until I fly out. Yipeee! After getting a really nice long letter from my girl, I'm really anxious now. I'm hoping her division is pulling together better now - sounds like it got off to a rough start jelling-wise....the expectations/attitudes of those straight out of high school verses those with a few years on their own are making it difficult to mesh it seems... :-/  Growing pains for all of them. She also has the 0200 watch which means more sleep deprived than usual. I had to laugh when she said she was drinking straight black coffee now - she doesn't like getting called out in class for snoozing - a plight she's had for every early morning class from high school on. She purposefully took 9am and later classes in college to avoid that 'little issue'...lol.

I have a feeling she may just want to chill with the family during her liberty day(s) - peace and quiet....which will be very interesting to maneuver because her dad is being a poop lately. I'm beginning to rethink whether I want to share a car with him during our time up there....I'm reminded quite frequently lately why our divorce was a GOOD thing.... Looking forward to hanging with some of you ladies once our Sailors are safely back on base in the evenings..... :-)

 

Happy November everyone. 'Tis the season!

Happy Monday everyone!  Hope you are all having a great day.  Have a safe Halloween, watch out for those little ones.  Can you believe that tomorrow is November already?????  I'm going to be a hyperactive mess by the time our graduation roles around.

Jenn:  It is amazing how much they will improve in the run.  2 minutes seems like a long time, but it is "conquered" all of the time by these SRs!  Prayers that he has wings on his feet!

My ribbons arrived today! I also bought something for my son's girlfriend away at school.  They are not allowed candles in the dorm room. So I bought one of those battery operated candles that you put in your windows at Christmas.  I also purchased a tall blue mosaic candle holder (the kind that you could put a pillar in). She can put the battery operated candle in there and pretend it's a blue candle.

Cheryl - I'm so glad that you got your call - even though it was hard to hear.  Congratulations!!

About the food - my son says that the food isn't too bad - but I'm really not that great a cook - so anything is probably an improvement.  :)  Plus he's like dianne's son - not too picky and will eat almost anything.

Kendra - my son said he was 2 minutes slow on the run.  I'm a little concerned.  But I know that they work hard with the kids to improve those times.  So let's keep each other kids in our prayers for fast feet.  I told him that he has to pass because I really want to see him but I also need to come out and meet all my new Navy mom friends :)

Happy Monday everyone - and happy Halloween!!

(BTW - my SR is off to Pensacola for A school too - so it looks like some of us will be hanging around with each other for a while longer.)

Good morning, everyone.  Hope all have a great day!  Start asking your SRs for BattleStations dates and private message them to me.  I will keep a schedule and then send it out.  HOOYAH!

Hello Everyone! About liberty after PIR: I was told by the recruiting officers that the liberty depends on the Sailors rate/job training. Some classes may not start right away or not until after December 16 (this is when half of the group at A-school have their Christmas break, the other half has to wait until after Christmas when the others return). I know a few sailors here in Miami that came home for 1-2 weeks before going to A-school, but they couldn't just come home and 'chill'..lol, they had to work with their recruiter or the recruiting office to put in some volunteer/work study hours. But some may also have liberty after A-school before they go to their permanent duty station! Hang in there Moms! You'll get a chance to spend some quality time with your new Sailors for a little while.
