Thanks jbird! Yep, I can't seem to step away either lol! How is your son doing? Mine will be finishing up his AA degree in Mechanical Engineering Tech in a couple of weeks (still in VA) and then he his moving to MI where his GF is (she was also a nuke, only on the Lincoln). She's in college at MSU and he is either going to continue schooling at MSU or look for work. He's weighing his options (thank goodness for the GI Bill)!
We get to see him for a few days as he is flying in to San Diego tonight for his cousins wedding this weekend. Quick trip but I'll take it ;-)
I agree - it's nice to see other mom's besides Truman moms joining the group - they are all one team!

I would love to stay on this discussion group! These years have been tough, although I have learned a lot about myself, my son, and family, life and how the Navy family works together. Seeing the Truman flanked with other ships ready and steady does help settle the nerves. My son said it is pretty amazing to see from the ship's vantage point. They are strong, and in-charge! Navy Strong! Give 'em Hell!

My sailor is on a first tour, flanking your carrier as well.

My sailor is also on a second tour. He is on a destroyer flanking your carrier. We are all logging in to groups, sticking together and staying strong.

Hi all - Happy Thursday!
I hope everyone is doing well today! Quite the day yesterday, hopefully you were able to either be at the send off or you were able to watch online or on the FB page.
Even though my son is out of the Navy now I still continue to support all the Sailors. Remember, they have been well trained! Stay strong, help each other through this deployment and BE PROUD! God Bless the Sailors and God Bless you mommas! Give 'Em Hell!
