Hi Tchrmom,
I agree with daysleeper, tell him when he gets liberty to take a buddy and get out. This is an adventure and he can do and see things that he may have never seen before. And lots of places offer military discounts especially places close to the base. If I were you call I would call the Chamber of Commerce there and have them send you their visitor package. Then you can look at it see whats around and send him a care package with things highlighted that he may want to go see. Just a thought....I wish you and him good luck! And you are correct if God brings you to it he WILL bring you through it. Keep us posted and have a wonderful Sunday!!!! Will be saying a prayer for you both.
I know we are all worried about our kids, but I've been reading the USS George Washington page and the USS Ronald Reagan page. Those mom's are really strong. I'd be totally nuts by now. Keep all these sailors and their families in your prayers!
Hey everyone, just checking in to see how everyone is adjusting now that their sailor is in A-School and out of basics.
My daughter is all settled in Pensacola, Corry Station, and her classes began this week. She is loving the Navy life!!
I set my cell phone to Anchors Aweigh for when she calls, I just loving hearing that song and know it is her when it rings!!!! Hey, the Navy is calling you!!!
Well hope everyone is getting back to their normal routines since we do not have to walk around with our phones in our hands, and wait for those phone calls anymore.
It was great to see some of you at PIR, a memory that we shall share for the rest of our lives.
Many blessings sent out to all of you.
Anchors Aweigh my friends!!!
Hi Ladies, Just checking with you all . Well my daughter is still in GL.She was soo upset because she's been on hold for all this time, But today she got news that she will be move to her new ship and get A school started, I told her it's been almost a month. I kept telling her to find out what was going on well it turned out that they lost her folder an that's why she's been on hold all this time. Well the blessing is that they found it and she's moveing to the franklin. I really do miss her but I do get to skype and talk on the phone.I hope everyone finds themselves in good health and spirit.
Many Blessing All My Good Friends. Hi MountainMama
Just checking in. My sailor is loving A school in San Antonio. I get a "good morning, I love you" text every morning and a phone call every night. It's so good to have this communication.
I hope all your sons and daughters are doing well and get the duty station they want. I keep them all in my prayers!
waiting for you (SHIP 3 DIV 080)
your husband and my son graduated in the same Division. Good that you guys are spending time together. That must be fantastic. Son is in FL with A school starting this week. He seems to be doing well. Have sent 3 care packages and set up skype. I sure do miss seeing him. Enjoy every minute you can.
