Hi KaraJTX, my best friends son is from San Marcos and is in Div 359.

My daughter is in OS A School in Great Lakes. She has been there for a few weeks but her actual A school (from what I understand) just started 8/6. She is planning to come home after A school for a visit so I hope it all works out. I assume in a few more weeks she will get her orders for after A school.

9699mom: Amen to that sister! It was a HARD lesson for me to learn and I hated it every bit. It is what it is but the good LORD give us strength and peace about it...

To 9699mom - a change in plans is the new norm. Hard for moms to accept and adapt to, but its a reality. Hug and love on them when you get the chance and pray for them when you can't. Proud of ALL they are doing!!

Hi Texas Moms!
My son finished A school last week and was set to come home for his first 2 wk. leave, before being stationed in Bahrain. A few days before he was due home he was informed he was being sent to Virginia for several more months of school. Uuggghhh! We were crushed. But genuinely happy for him and opportunities of more training. Looking forward to seeing Virginia for first time after he's been there a while. My point of this post I guess is as his family, we had better learn our lesson again that they are in the Navy's hands and we had better learn to go with the flow! I used to say, "because I'm the Mama"....now I'm learning to say, "I'm just the mama". He landed in VA a few hours ago, he's safe and excited for the change. My Texas boy has had 7 long months in Great Lakes! Take care , from Liberty Co.

My son got to BC on Monday. We got his box on Thursday. That was hard, but I am so proud of him and now I am just waiting for the form letter. I am really glad to be able to connect with other Moms who are having the same feelings and questions I am having.

SRMom: Don't worry. Your son is in good hands and will be well cared for. Stay busy and stay strong. (((HugS)))
