Thank you everyone =] you all are very easy to talk well type too! I hope you all get to hear from your sailors!! I hope their all getting these inspections done so they can phase up!!!
shinertxgal- I asked my husband this question last night but i was told as long as you are staying in the area(350 miles and closer) you dont need to request off but anything 350 and over you need to request a "chit" to leave... see if he can get a fax number or get his address and next day his itenerary, the sooner he gets that info the better chance of that getting approved=]! I hope everything goes smoothely!

There is a great explanation of this in the Pensacola site if you read back a few pages...but basically it means he needs to purchase his plane tickets and submit a copy of that itenerary...

Hello everyone! My son just called from Pensacola and is working on requesting his leave for Christmas. He said he has to have an itinerary to turn in. He and I were wondering if anyone knows what that means. Do they want to know the days he wants off and where and what he will be doing?? Not sure, any help would be great!

It appears that there are several patron saints that will serve well for our Navy guys/girls. this is great. I've loved all of the input.

Ashley, I feel for you, i really do. A happy medium is good. That's what I learned. I just don't beat myself up any more to go out of my way. it hurt too much. Now I just do what I feel comfortable with that involves my mother in law, and my husband is responsible for the rest, if he chooses. If it hasn't changed in 25 years then it never will. So, I choose to not dwell on it.
You are doing great and it really sounds like you have a very strong relationship with your husband. Keep that up and you will be fine.

Kat- yes i believe thats the whole reason bc she is no longer his go to woman, he confides in me and our daughter when he is in need and I wouldn't want it any other way! He actually called me in between one of his induct class, to tell me he was freaking out about the "brown bag" which is paper work to get him to stay with us we just have to have him back on base at 4 am every morning which is perfectly fine with me =] he was freaking out because he didn't think i'd be up to doing this every morning until the weekends, but i reassured him we are in this together and that I will do anything to have him be able to be home at night=] So he feels alot better about everything, which really makes me feel good that he's no longer stressing out about that situation! And about the in law situation yes we will have the same thing with her missing out on alot of our daughters life and any other future children we have, but i've tried to find a medium with them and thats not going to happen anytime soon... bc my husband was told that I will leave him and our daughter will call someone else daddy, and so on and so forth so i'm not in the state of mind to forgive and forget... if you know what i mean. and i did the unthinkable and asked my husband to no longer speak with them until they can respect us as a family and respect me. so we will see what will happen... Thank you for the support it is nice to know other woman are going through the same situations, and that its not just me =]

Kyles mom-Thank you =] I have turnt to god a couple times bc all this has truely made my trust in people at an all time low. Sometimes my days just seem like nothing is going right and then my loveing husband calls and helps me and informs me how much he loves and appreciates everything i am doing, so that helps turn my spirits around just knowing how he feels <3 he's truely an amazing husband and I dont know how i got so darn lucky! (i'm sure alot of us feel this way=]) I really appreciate your words of encouragement!!! I hope your son is somewhere warm while in waiting=] I know my husband is also in waiting to start aschool the only type of classes he has right now is an induct class? from what he says its just a whole bunch of information that will help u s out in the long run... i was just told i had ALOT of brochures to read haha so this will keep me intact with what is going on and what should go on hopefully. I hope everything goes smoothly for your son i'm sure everything will, and dont let him let his mind wonder to the what ifs and i wont be able to do this or that! IT'll be all worth it once they get into their job=] just tell him to have faith in himself!

Lisa-aw that is really sweet and I bet meant the world to both of them!

I'm with Lynne on hanging me by my toes, my sailor is my only son and I tease him all the time about "some tramp/slut getting her hooks into him" we laugh about it now but I pray all the time that that doesn't happen. My mother-in-law is faboulous, she has been nothing but good to me since I was 16 years old and I love her very much I want to be like her when I grow up....lol with perservance, even the snail made it to the ark...........time time time.... you are doing a good job

Ashley, After my son's boot camp graduation I gave him his grandfathers anchor with crucifix medallion. My son has never wore jewelry before but loved getting it and now wears it on his dog tags. My dad was in the navy and my son was his first grandson so this meant so much to me.
