I too still remember the pink scarves.  I still have mine.  My son has been in little over a year.  He is currently on deployment.  I am so thankful for skype.  What a wonderful way to keep in touch.  I hope everyone is doing well.  My prayers are with you all.

Hi ladies, I totally agree this year has flown.  My son finished corpsman school in GL and then went to Camp Lejune for FMTB.  He came home at Thanksgiving and married his sweetheart of almost 5 years.  He will be stationed at CL for 2 years.  Jeff and I moved the bride and his dog over Super Bowl weekend.  They are now happy and together and I could not be more proud.  I think of you often and smile.  God bless you, your family and most of all your sailor.  Love Carol

Hey kathyf, MY birthday is Nov 11th, so I will be thinking of your grandbaby when the time rolls around this year!  LOL!

Sherri, funny that you mentioned that pink scarf because I went out last year and bought all the scarves for me, my mom, and my daughter, since we'd all be in the stands at PIR.  And we're all planning to be at my sailor's wedding in two weeks in chilly Norfolk (not quite as cold as Chicago, granted, but chilly nonetheless!).  So, thanks for the GREAT IDEA that we will wear our scarves there, too!!  I think I'll go get one for my new daughter-in-law and her momma, too!  Heheheh

I find I have been thinking about you all so much since we were all on the same page this time last year.  Getting ready for a cold trip to Chicago and excited to see our Sailors!  AND... finding the ever elusive pink scarf!  I have mine hanging in the closet but see it every morning when I get dressed.  Odd timing but I think of you guys daily then lol.  Everyone doing very well here.  No grandbabies but have 2 exceptional kids still.  My son is now stationed in Naples, Italy and loving his career choice.  He's been published in the Naval paper there (weekly it seems) and has had a couple of his broadcasts picked up by Military.com.  Pretty impressive for a E2 I think.  Sounds like he lucked into his job since there were no 1st class POs to take the billet.  

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi all!!  Time flies, eh?  So exciting to hear how Navy life is just moving on along for everyone. Congrats, Sailor's Wife!  I, too, miss the day-to-day updates but I do NOT miss the nail-biting and stress-out sessions over whether or not we would receive a phone call or letter in the mail.  :)

The Prince has had an up-and-down ride so far.  He was dropped from the dive program at the end of Pre-Dive (he can't float!!).  Tried a couple of other things and finally went undesignated.  Currently, he's in Norfolk assigned to a carrier and is getting ready to be married (March 5th) to a Navy girl he knows from his DEP pool here, at home.  They "just happened" to both end up in Norfolk and now are pregnant with my first grandchild.  {{super grin!}}

WHEW!!  If you'd have told me a year ago . . . well, you know.  But here I am, planning another chilly and proud, proud trip to visit my sailor.  Love it!

Wow!  You have had a busy year!  My son is not too far from you, in Beaufort, SC.  He really likes it there.  I like it too, because we can visit back and forth every 3-4 months. Congrats on the new baby.  There's nothing like being a mom!  Blessings to you and I hope you get everything you desire.

Hi everyone I was just thinking about this time last year...lots has happened since then for me and my husband! We moved to Charleston, SC for nuke school, adopted a dog, found out we were expecting, and he graduated A-school. We had our baby on November 17 in the most peaceful and beautiful birth center birth. It was amazing! He's currently in power school and we're hoping for orders to Saratoga Springs, NY for prototype. I hope everyone is doing well :D

Hello all my dear PIR 2/18 friends!  Last year at this time, we were all preparing to make our trip to the Great Lakes and watch our children become US Sailors.  We were nervous, excited and proud.  We were also looking forward to meeting each other, to put a face with the ladies we shared our fears and joys with for many weeks.  Looking back, I see that I was much more of a wreck than I realized at the time, and I know I wouldn't have made it through without you wonderful, strong women.  Thanks again!  I really enjoyed the short time we spent together at the meet and greet, and I miss the comraderie we shared during those trying times.  Hope things are going great for you and your sailors.  Love you!

Sailor flew back to Great Lakes on Jan 2, and Jan 4 AM he texts that he was offered CIWS C school (he's AECF/FC) in San Diego starting March 5.  Three of his buddies took it too, so at least they're going together! Warm weather, sounds delightful!
