I have a group here called Navy Moms of Divorced Sailors. It takes a special woman to be a military wife who stays faithful and can withstand the separations. You can read the ugly stories for yourself. The worse part about my son's divorce is that the state of Illinois does not grant even partial custody to military members when kids are involved. If the ex moves back home, the sailor has little opportunity to see his/her children over the years.
And happy Mother's Day! We'll all celebrate on the 20th!

I saw a lot of talk about garment bags for the uniforms. I am pretty sure they issue one to them at boot camp. The thing about Garment bags is they are meant for carrying clothes on hangers. If you put too much stuff in the bottom they will tare up or the zipper will break.

Diannep your son got engaged? What is that boy thinking? lol. He needs to call me and I will straighten him out lol. It didn't work for my Sailor but maybe yours would listen :-)

As I recall my son has used a garment bag, but he also was taught to pack those uniforms. They know how to crease the collars and fold the trousers just right. They learn how every t shirt and sock goes in the duffle. Don't be shocked--they'll know how to iron if they didn't know how before too!

They also sell the blue digi camo back packs, duffel bas sea bags, and even garment bags and suitcases. They are allowed to have those as well. So much "cuter" than plain black lol.

saraelaine: Don't be surprised if your SR is told that he can have nothing personal after PIR (told by the RDC's). Because as long as he is on RTC base, he cannot. Once he leaves that base, he is allowed these things (at the airport).
Scoutbeach: They are issued a Navy "seabag" at RTC. The duffel/backpack is strictly a suggestion for any "carryon" personal items---solid black.
-
-
Ruth: They do sell the black backpacks at the NEX, but some are afraid they may run out of them, so they try to buy them ahead of time if they are planning to send personal items with their sailors to A School.
Funny about the "wife being issued if needed" statement! My son had said the same thing! But now he is engaged...so oh well!
They do issue them a garment bag. But some say it is a cheap one and tears. So JessicaBSailor had suggested that you may want to get them one as a grad gift. My son's made it to his duty station....as far as I know. Maybe the baggage handlers were more careful with his! :-)
