OMG...I go to bed and this site explodes.....took a long time to catch up on every post....Best of Luck to all our Sailors.
Sharoncede..got your email but just haven't been able to reply....wanted to catch up first.
It will get better ladies....my advice....keep yourselves busy with whatever, that's what I have decided to do...keeps my mind off this deployment but just think of the adventures they're going to have....going to places I'll never go to...makes me a little jealous...LOL
found the video of the Bush leaving, it's awesome, gave me chills to think my son is on that huge ship! Also makes me very proud! Love you my son!

Thank you sharoncede. Yes, I have the email address. We will all have a great Christmas. This is the first time in a few years that I am wishing Christmas was tomorrow. I am really looking forward to it. This is a hard time for all of us. Wives and moms, but we will all get through it with the help of each other.

Like mother like son .. let the adventures begin. Thank you so much ... email already sent .. perhaps it will surprise him!!!

No .. he is out for the full deployment not just 30 days. He said 6 - 7 months but wouldnt tell me much. He is a PS and quite tight lipped.

My son is on the Bush attached to the Trident Squadron ... This is all new to me, for the last 2 years he has been in RI at Newport. I am so proud of him and scared at the same time. I have had a hard time working today .. tried not to cry. He told me last night it was crazy, but all would be fine. I hope he is right. He did give me an address but no email .. is there anyway to find out the email address?
