Hello everyone....glad to see everybody seems to be doing better these days...Jbird my daughter is doing great but still misses her big brother being around.We talk to him almost everyday.Now we atre just waiting to here when we will get to see him again.He got his orders just the other day he will be going to northfort.Hes super pumped about that.His buddy from home is there,well,will be right now he's here in Louisville visiting.I'm really good friends with his mama.As a matter of fact she has my little girl there visiting.We are working on her social skills this summer.She has a daughter her age and they both love pokemon' so far they are getting along great!My friends son was on the Carl Vincent so in our eyes our guy is part of history! It is so great to see that kid,its been awhile,and his mother is on cloud nine with her baby boy home.Even if it is so hard for her to accept the fact that he spending alot of his time with his friends.I know my son will want to do the same,but he assured me that his goal is to spend most of his time with family.We thought he would be home on the forth and he was upset at first that wasn't going to happen but he snapped out of it quickly.It looks more like the first of August before he gets to come home,he told me he loves every minute and has no regrets about joining the Navy....That alone makes it all good!

My sailor will be home for 4th of July weekend (my fav holiday). It will be nice to have him home. He has been at A school in San Antonio since graduation and you know what little time we got with our sailors so I'm happy to have him home for a few days.
We have our nephew who came to lives with us his senior year in hs and will also be leaving for the Navy by August. I haven't felt the complete empty nest but I suspect I will after he leaves.
I'm just looking forward to his graduation (high school on June 21st) and then my son's homecoming for the 4th of July. We still have our daughter who will be a 10th grade next year. Oh the times are changing and changing.

It's not unusual for these yearbooks to take like 8 weeks I'm sure you'll be getting it soon, along with the dvd. I have family in the marines and friends in the army and both their yearbooks took almost 8 weeks. It'll be worth the wait

my son had PIR 5/6 and we ordered the DVD and yearbook and haven't receive it yet neither; i'm disappointed as i have tried to call several times about it and no one ever answers the phone when i call.
-
-

Hi everyone! Seems like it's been forever since PIR. My sailor finally classed up after the Memorial Day weekend. He is having to study for the first time in his life. At least he got a nice break. He said it was like summer vacation. One of his friends was able to go visit & they went to the beach for the day. His first PFA is this week & hopefully he will phase up. I am very much looking forward to fetching him home for the July 4th weekend.
My oldest son got married on June 4 and will be back from his Disney World honeymoon today. My daughter, Amber, and her crew were here for 2 weeks so I got to love on one of my new granddaughters and her 3 big brothers. Great fun!
My daughter Sonia will be bringing her 3 kids in Aug. Her hubby is deploying for 6 months so she will stay for at least a couple months. I'm looking forward to meeting my other new granddaughter.
So, I think that catches me up. I don't get much computer time these days. My daughter, Emily is taking on line classes & doesn't have a computer so she is using mine. It's for a good cause! She is looking forward to getting enough credits to enlist in the Navy.
I hope everyone will post on here every now & then. It's nice to see how our new sailors are doing.
