Happy Thsnksgiving PIR 2-18 moms! Miss you ladies lots. So much has happened since last Thanksgiving when we were enjoying our last holiday with our soon to be sailors. Most of our are missing the presence of our sailor sons and daughters today. I know I am...feel like a piece of me is missing. I know that I have some ladies to talk to who understand exactly how I feel. We are forever bonded from the experience of helping each other through a difficult yet bittersweet time. I love you all! May God richly bless you!

Been a while since I have checked this site...My son just graduated ET A School in Great Lakes Oct 28. Been a long year!! Now just waiting for order to see where he
goes next. He has been close to home in the last year and we have bee really lucky to see him often. Now on pins and needles to see how far away from home he will go. He is glad to get this part of schooling over and he is defintely ready to see somewhere different and get out of Great LAkes. Sound like everyone is still hangning in there with a rollar coaster of emotions. I don't think that ever ends!!!

HI All 2-18 Alumi's! Been a while since I have been on here but wanted to say HI and post what my son is doing. He graduated CTN school "with honors-2nd in his class" (so proud!!!) the end of Sept,]. He got to come home on leave for 10 days and then reported for duty NIOC Norfolk VA. He loves the job and the area, what more could you ask for-----Hope all your sailors are enjoying their Navy Life!

Hey ladies. Been awhile but wanted to shout out. We are getting ready for son's last graduation, FMTB. We laugh this is the third one in less than a year. Who would have known? Looking forward to seeing him, we will have his "girlfriend" with us. Looks like there are wedding bells in the near future. Who would have known? LOL! Hope your sailors are doing great, I miss hearing from all of you!

Hi all. It's been a long time since I wrote on N4Ms. My son is still in A school at the Great Lakes... seems like it will never end. Been almost a year since he left for the windy city last Dec 13th. He's an ET and I think he graduates in November. I expect more delays and hope to see him over the Christmas holidays. I haven't been here for so long I feel like a newby all over again! So, I wonder if anyone know if there is going to be a stand-down this year in December, and if so, when they will leave for home. I'm so proud of him yet I still worry about his well-being from day-to-day. I feel more anxious as the holiday season approaches and the weather gets cooler. Thanks to all of you for being there for your kid and for doing one of the hardest jobs in the world! :)

@kathy: HILARIOUS that YOU were able to get him reunited with his ship! You'd think they'd tell a guy that stuff, right? LOLOL!! Oh well, we're all in it together, I guess. We're heading out to the Farmer's Market this morning to get some salsa ingredients -- looking forward to some yummy stuff while he is here. His sister is moving back home from Manhattan next weekend. So that's going to be a whirlwind, having BOTH of them back in the house at the same time for the first time in a year. Too bad they'll only overlap by two or three days. But going to make the most of it, like you suggested.
Happy weekend, all!

Hi girls! So nice to hear about our group's progress and successes! The Prince has had some hiccups, but is home right now on leave and then on his way to his ship by the end of the month (finally!). He's so excited to be heading toward something besides more school. LOL!
Hugs to all!!

LornaJ - so glad your son is coming home for a visit, and congratulations Kathy on your son's graduation.
My son just got his promotion to E-3 and he will be coming home for leave in October for his birthday. Got the whole countdown clock going on my phone again. Can't wait. Hope all PIR 2-18's sailors are doing great! Love you ladies!

Hi All Alumni Friends!! My son graduated CTN school @ Pensacola FL last Thursday (2nd in the class 92 GPA!!) so very proud of him. He is due to come home for leave on Tuesday for 2 weeks. Hope all of your son's and daughters are doing fine and enjoying their Navy adventure.
