Janice, my daughter is at Point Loma for STG now.  She's in her 2nd week of C School, I think! haha.  I have trouble keeping it all straight.  She loves it there.

Janice...My son has been at Point Loma since Aug. He begins ops in Early June then on to his duty station in Mayport. 

 

Any of you have loved ones with a last name beginning with an H? It seems most of his buds and one bud-ette have last names beginning with H.

Hi Janice and mysailorson...,  My son is in his 3rd week of ATT and is also on Point Loma for STG.  He loves SD and the great beaches.  He will be in SD for the next year, training.

What a great idea!  That will probably be the most treasured photo of all. 

When we were in GL we saw a cardboard cut out of Michelle Obama @ the Navy Pier. Everybody was taking their picture next to it.  Wouldn't it be great if we had one of those of our sailors, then they would never miss another special family event. (At least in the pictures)  We'll have to come up with something that fills the hole in our hearts.

Thank you Pheobe and DebM.  Excellent advice I shall take.  I'll ask my youngest to bring her cap and gown to PIR and we can take a family photo while at GL.  At least we'll all be together there!

Anyone here have a sailor in San Diego with the last name beginning with an H. My son"s best buds, 4 of them, all begin with H. He really enjoys them and is going to fleet with one of them. Duty station will be Mayport.

Congratulations on your son's and daughter's graduations!  What wonderful accomplishments you will be celebrating in your offspring!  I'm praying for you all too. 

Like many of you I spent my 1st Mother's Day without my "baby" (lol).  When I was getting dressed my husband said, "honey come out here."  Standing there was a beautiful young man with hair and eyes the same color as my sailor-it was one of his good friends who came over to take me to Mother's Day dinner.  I laughed @ my sailor later, on our phone conversation and said, "honey, did you send me a surrogate for the day?! He's cute, but he still can't take your place!"

It did make me feel better though.  So if the real thing can't be with you to celebrate these good things, I'll pray that God sends someone to take up some of the slack.  It's funny how we need our kids just as much as they used to need us!

From the peanut gallery...

Leave it alone joankf.  My younger son is graduating from Colorado School of Mines this Friday.  My sailor was denied leave.  What I have had to learn is that once my older son signed on with the military he no longer belongs to me.  He is the property of the US Government.  They call the shots, not pun intended.  And I will do nothing to draw attention, in a negative way, to my son.  Just like with any job...mommy doesn't need to be calling the boss.  So I pray.  Not only for my son but for yours too.  And I joined Molly Mom's who have supported me.  And my PIR group whom I still keep in touch with.  I will, on Friday, watch my younger son walk across the stage without my sailor at my side.  Sad, I know, but it is what it is...
