Well, it's been awhile since I've visited my soul sisters here...and what a time it has been.
First, welcome to all the "newbies" here. You've come to the right place to get information, sympathy, joy or whatever you need concerning our Sailors and their Ship.
To old friends....since last I posted, my wonderful Grandson has made Petty Officer 3, and, most important, go married to the sweetest woman. I have to keep saying to myself "My Munchkin is married, my Munchkin is married"...and it still hasn't settled into my brain yet.
Had lunch with him on Sunday...he ran home for the week end to visit with new bride and family. It's about a 4 hour drive but he doesn't mind. He also got a CAR last year...a sweet Honda, electric blue and cute as heck. He looks so wonderful and has grown up so much in the 3 years he's been in the Navy. My joy is endless.
JacobMom - good luck to your sailor on his test today!
BoomMom - I hope you find some good info that you can share with us.....I would be interested in the ombudsmen & FRG stuff too. I hope your DIL feels better soon.....
letyrod - glad your son is adjusting well. Mine gets there next week & I'm sure he'll be fine too - he's pretty outgoing...
Hi all. Trying to help my son and daughter-in-law (but staying out of their way) finding ombudsmen info to maybe be in touch with. The ones on the Navy site are bad. First 3 come up with some sex stuff on it (yep) and the other links bounce back as undeliverable. They have been there since November (him) and December (her). They were married in November, she moved down first of December and she is now (yep again) pregnant. Early and has lots of morning sickness. They are in an apartment in Virginia Beach. She is very homesick and misses her family and friends. It's starting to affect things already. I'm desperate for them to go to a FRG meeting (which he says they are looking into) and make friends and find support (especially for her). I guess they're not good at reaching out. ANY ideas, help, links, etc. would be sooo appreciated. He's loving the snow right now as he was born and raised in Buffalo (where I am and very cold). Thanks for letting me vent and reach out.
