We had another group for the moms and significant others based in San Diego or with sailors based in San Diego. But it disappeared! So I'm starting a new one so that all of us in San Diego or with loved ones here can connect!

what do you mean? sorry I still get those confuse, E1 I believe
Hello everyone! my daughter was station in san Diego, she's still in A school in great lakes IL and has about 8 more weeks to go her ship is USS Boxer LDH and I was just wondering if anyone had more info about the ship or if there's any other families with Sailors assigned to the same ship, any information will be greatly appreciated Thanks!
LOL...in my post below it should say "hull swap" not "hall swap"
Happy New Year!!! My son is currently at Pearl Harbor. I joined this group when he was in C school in San Diego. His ship will do a hall swap in March which will bring him back to San Diego where his brother is going to school. We live in Northern CA so having both the boys so close is great!
My son came home on 12/31 so we held off opening gifts until then. We are having a wonderful time and am so happy to have him home. Time sure goes by fast so I am trying to enjoy every minute. He and his brother are talking about boing snow boarding. :)
What are all of you up to?
Hello All!
My son is in SD, attached to HSC-14 at North Island as an AM. He started this past Sept and is the newbie in the squadron.
I have followed the discussions on this site starting with the BC group through PCola and now this group. It has been helpful and a blessing to be able to read all the comments from the groups and to know that my son will be OK.
Thank you all.
hi again...was wondering if anyone knows any reputable and reasonably priced companies that can transport a car to SD? the car is currently in Colorado. thanks!!
hi lori!! so nice to meet you:) my son also married last year:) how exciting that you are having the wedding ceremony coming up!! super congrats to you and to your son and his bride! my son is very happy with his SD orders:) he will be on the Paul Hamilton.they haven't had a chance to look into any housing yet since they just got orders so I wondered if anyone knew a good place to start to look or a good place to live for a young couple..on base? off base? why did your son and DIL decide to rent off base? thanks for the info!
Hi Mom0717! Welcome to our group! I'm sure your son is VERY happy to get SD! My son has been there for several years now. He was stationed on the Vinson but just re enlisted and now has shore duty. He is also married [newly...just before he and his wife both deployed in 2014]. They returned this year and we are finally having their ceremony with family and friends next Saturday! They are renting off base. Have your son and DIL look for ads for housing off base. Some places rent by the month. What will your son be doing do you know?
Hi moms! I'm new to this group.. my son will be transferring to SD in the next few months..so glad to connect with all of you:) I hear SD is a beautiful area. Does anybody have any tips on housing? My son has been in the Navy almost 3 years and is married, no kids.
