Hello Ladies, Pretty much new to these sites. Son PIR in December. Durning his first, and so far only, phone call told his Dad that he and another recruit are desinging their division flag and that he will be carrying it during PIR. Not sure how this all came about BUT SO PROUD I THINK MY BRA WILL SNAP!

Morning ladies, an E5 is a 2nd class sailor and is one step away from being a Chief. Depending on what rate your sailors are there can be a long stretch inbetween advancements. Our sailor is an e3 but will get advanced in June to an E4 which is considered a 3rd class sailor but e4 makes him a Petty Officer. Allison, your son would currently be a PO 3rd class. It will be the most heart touching moment when he sees Little Jack! I am a former Navy wife and watched many a homecoming but boy...when there is a new baby waiting on the pier...take kleenex!!!
Ohh...I have a brag today!! LOL Our son is in C school and just took his 2nd test, he has scored 100 on both tests and a 98 on his first lab so he is now at a 99 class average! We did tell him he needs to study harder!!! LOL Have a great day ladies!

HI Carol & Mary and Welcome!
I'm sure the group will start to grow. Maybe if we start chatting more often in here the group would be moved to the front page of Groups with the more recent activity. More moms would then notice us here. :-)

Our son will be hitting his one yr anniversary with the Navy next week and just started C school and our daughter is away (4 hrs.) at college so it's just hubby and I now...our first question to each other when he walks in the door is..........have YOU heard from the kids today?! Remember when it used to be...how was your day?!!!

My son is an EN aboard his ship which is currently away on deployment. We miss him very much. I was so happy to hear his voice last night over the phone. The ship is in port for a few days and the last few times he called was at Thanksgiving and Christmas otherwise we'll hear from him by email. I am proud of the fact that my son, and one of many, who are out there serving our country. There are many proud, happy, and sad moments. But I’m prouder when my son has struggled and learned to overcome some of his obstacles. There were a few situations he had to deal with because he was battling with depression and discouragement. It makes me cry when I can’t be there for him and give him a big hug. Only takes a few phone calls or emails from both his dad and I to try to encourage KC the best we can which helps carry him along a little further. As long as he knows his mom and dad are backing him up a hundred percent from home he is okay. Of course, one my happiest moments is when he is home on leave! I miss his smiling face, big hugs, and just being plain goofy!
