Jacob94mom - your son and DIL sound like B&C. They have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 different lizards - I think one is a gecko, a turtle and a rat. C is finishing up her Master's Degree (in wildlife stuff) and B just finished his undergrad degree (well they both did in December). We wait patiently for grandbabies.....

julie01 - yes, the nukes are usually one of last ones off the ship but we weren't at homecoming. Our son had already flown back to Norfolk before the ship returned. We visited him before deployment though.
Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday. We are having a very warm and windy day here in SoCal!

So good to see some of these names! I was there to greet my sailor wearing my NFM badge too. I don't think I could have gotten through that first deployment without my NFM support group!! My sailor discharged last year. Found employment in the midst of Covid-19 and has adjusted back to civilian life.

I’m still here! I was there that hot July day! I also met a few moms at the gathering the night before. My son has been off the Truman for a year now. He is now serving shore duty at Oceana. April 15th marked his 7th year with the Navy. He has two more with this contract but will most likely reenlist as he is unsure what he wants to do as a civilian. He is married now and bought a beautiful home in Suffolk. His wife is the manager of a vet clinic close to their home. They are raising 3 cats, 2 dogs, two snakes, a gecko, a koi pond and a few other fish. No time for babies! Lol

B'sNukeMom I remember you had to wait the longest for them to get off the ship. It was a super hot day. So glad that your son is married and happy with someone who knows the Navy life ways. I hope they are happy in MI and you can see them in the near future. Yes, my son has some really great Navy friends that are newly married with babies in their lives as civilian life unfolds. He has passed over a year now so we are in the TAPS.org program available to any personal military loss in case.

My son was on the Truman in 2015 and yes he is out now. His wife was also a nuke but she was on the Lincoln and she's out now too. They live in MI and just bought a new house with their GI Bill.
I had posted a discussion in 2015 up above when the Truman deployed.
The Navy for Moms website has been around since 2008. I didn't join until 2012.
julie01 - you said your son died? I'm so very sorry to hear this. And you say many of his buddies too? This is quite sad.
Sending prayers to you and everyone with family serving.

I remember PatD in charge B'sNukeMom. Did you have a family member also in Norfolk then?

I remember you jbird the only time we saw the Truman arrive years ago maybe 2015? In Norfolk. We all had name tags in the bleachers. It may have been a July. We all posted so much then. Was that the beginning of all the navyformoms page? If anyone knows? My son has died a year already. He was 5 years on the Truman. A very bad heart. Many of his buddies did too. That is why I don't post much. Too hard on Navy Moms all around or we have been ill ourselves. I love to look at posts about reunions, the passion we have for our family and friends serving brings me comfort. Thank you to all who serve and the mom's now. May you reunite safely with your loved ones and am always praying for you.

I wonder if it was so active then, because the group was fairly new. Most of those son's and daughters are probably not serving anymore.

From what I can see it looks like PatD started the group around the summer of 2009 or maybe a little earlier. It's unfortunate though because she is no longer a member on here all of her posts have been deleted.
That's why it's so important if you decide to leave N4M that you don't delete your profile - everything will disappear!
