From PA navy moms:  PRAYERS NEEDED!

Comment by Kim 16 minutes ago
A sailor has gone missing on my sons ship.  We where told it was a sailor who was working on the ship but not part of the ships company.  All outgoing emails have been restricted.  The search is ongoing.  I know I shouldn't worry but I will not rest until I hear from my son.  A search is underway.  Please say a prayer for the sailor.

Hi all! Seems like forever since I last visited this site! It's been busy this last 3 weeks for me. My in-laws flew back Monday to the Philippines!! We really enjoyed meeting you all in meet & greet and PIR. Hope we keep in touch!!

Hi!  Just wondering how everyone is doing?  Are all your Sailors settled at Aschool?  My son is settled and awaiting his class-up next Friday- He is ready and rarin to go!

Hope you are all well and enjoying the extra communication from them now that they are out of RTC.

Sandy- I was thinking of you today- We are at 102 degrees and our heat index is around 112.  I have not been that hot since I was at the Riverwalk in San Antonio-  I don't know how you do it!

Hi all. SailormomLisa, I'm so glad you enjoyed the meet and greet as well as your husband. It was great meeting everyone that night. I've heard from Jay a couple of times. He's at DLI in Monterey Cali, and usually calls me at work during his lunch break in Cali. He is super excited about it. He was told that the next iteration for his Language class doesn't start til 22 Sept, so surprisingly enough the Navy offered him to take summer college courses until his class starts!! It was so amazing cause we actually laughed at the fact that he is actually getting a paycheck to go to school, hahahaha, just unbelievable. And to boot, the curriculum at DLI Monterey will actually give him an Associates degree upon graduation if he completes the college courses he needs. He would actually graduate with a degree in his Language of study upon completing the other college courses needed like the maths and the English classes. Jay just couldn't be happier with his decision at this time. As a mom I'm just so happy and proud of him, couldn't be more proud and happy at this time. I'm also jealoud cause the weather in Monterey is beautiful while we are burning here with triple digit heat!

     Anyway, I'm soooo glad basic is over and all our sailors are at A school excited about learning their job skill and just excited about military life :-)

Hello all, I've been meaning to get on here and say hi. We got back this morning at 2am (Wednesday). Due to the storms our plane was delayed about 1 1/2 hrs, missed our connection...but we made it home :-) 

Anyway, I LOVED meeting all of you lovely ladies! My husband was really impressed with the Meet & Greet too. I honestly had a hard time talking him into going but he ended up really enjoying himself. It was so wonderful getting to see our son graduate and we got him Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That was a surprise blessing!!

If any of you got a good photo of our group at the meet and greet, would you mind sending it to me?? I'd really appreciate it. Send me a message on N4M and I'll send you my email, thanks so much!!

Hi everyone! I haven't been in here for so long. I didn't bring my laptop, no space since I have to bring a lot of stuff for Joel. I am still here in Chicago, missed my flight last Tuesday. Good thing I have family here, Manang Frances, Manong Alvin and their kids. Since I'm not working this week, I decided to extend my visit until Friday. I haven't visited them since 2008. A lot has changed since then.. Matthew 16, is a grown up now. I used to baby sit him to CA for a month vacation every year. Brushing his teeth was a pain, so I let him brushed mine while I brushed his teeth at the same time. LOL! He loves piggy back rides too, so I do that all over the place, well he is much smaller then age 3-8. Now, he barely gives his aunt a hug... But he made me breakfast:coffee and shrimp-veggie omelet. SO sweet! I have 3 nieces too, Rachel 7, Jordan 5, Sophia 3. They are so hyper active! We played dress ups, board games, visited the park, bowling, biking and anything else the girls could think off! Gosh!!! I'm enjoying my time with them sooo much!! Two more days with the girls.. If only work schedule could be much better, I'd be coming here to visit more often!

I feel so blessed to have met so many of you and even more blessed to have witnessed the beautiful ceremony on Friday and spend time with our son.  All of you moms/wives/girlfriends have been my introduction to the Navy Family- which I now feel very much a part of... Please stay in touch here- regardless of where your Sailor heads next and let's stick together!
Comment by ZACHARY'S MOTHER SHIP 12 DIV 224 on July 10, 2011 at 5:57pm
I have a silly question for all now that they graduated from boot camp does the group ship 12 division 224 stay with them or do they become a part of a new team?   Zachary went to Mississippi but only for 46 days then he will be reassigned to either CT, NC or GA for sub school.
