Thank you both! Hope to meet you one day.
Hi Proud Mom
We are also from El Paso! My son has been a sailor for almost 2 years now He is actually underway on his first deployment. Welcome to this site many of the ladies have been supporting loved ones that are in the Navy for many years and they have great advice
Hi TX Moms...from El Paso, here and I officially have a Sailor. My son called earlier today.
SuBHuni34 - my son is 946. I live just north west of San Antonio- in Boerne!!
My SR is in Div 946. Any other 946'ers here?
Well, I just asked him and he said he didn't want us to go to airport, so problem solved. I'm good with it. I think he's anxious to get going, so I'm excited for him. I'm sure he will be fine. I'm actually dealing with it pretty well. I'm glad he's on this journey. I think it will be a great way to get a start on his life.
Hi ctreporter,
My son also flew to bc out of Houston and went through MEPS in Houston. We were not allowed to go with him to airport, had to say goodbye at MEPS that morning early. Seems harsh, but they know what they are doing and it was for the best. They are with a big group and meet more groups at airport and they are super amped up and excited. It’s good to let him start this journey at the airport alone. I promise, you’ll know what I’m talking about in a few months. Keep us posted. Will be praying for you. You got this!
Hi, all. My son leaves for boot camp Sept 26. Does anyone have any info on going to airport to see him off after he swears in at MEPS? He will be shipping from Houston, as we are in Pearland. Thanks.
Hi All!!! My son heads out to boot camp Oct 2. His A school will be about 1 hour away from my sister's home so that eases my mind. I read an entry about going to Bahrain after A school from one mom. If I could wrap my son in bubble wrap I would.
