So good to hear from everyone again! Has N4M been down for a while? Today is the first time I've received anything in a long time! Glad to hear from all of you!
BNuke'sMom - glad to hear no surgery required! How does your son know about Christmas leave already? That's amazing (as well as wonderful for your family)!

Hi all - Happy Wednesday!
Anne - glad things are going well for your son and hey at least he's enjoying life right now - good for him! (Hopefully you can convince him that if he does use the card he at least pays it off in full every month - avoid those charges!)
JGMom - I hope you get to see your son soon and I'm glad things are going well for him too! I'm sure they are all enjoying being back "home".

Great to see new updates! I was just thinking of this group the other day! My son is doing well in Virginia Beach. We hope to fly out to visit him soon as we were not able to attend the homecoming. Happy November!

Great news BNuke! It's such a relief being able to communicate with my sailor whenever I want to, not that he responds right when I want him to. ;) He is living the high life right now. I'm really hoping that by time 2017 comes around he will have this partying out of his system and be ready to save. I guess we all have an adjustment period after turning 21. haha. Lets all pray he doesn't resort to using that credit card they so freely gave him. :D
Have a GREAT day all.

So excited for you to have your son home for Christmas!
This will be our first one without our son. Any advice?

Hi all - My son finally had his appt with the VA hospital - no surgery needed - thank goodness. And they finally got him in the system and he will be assigned a primary care doctor so that's good. School is going well too. He booked his flight home for Christmas! So excited as we haven't seen him the last 2 Christmas's. And his GF is coming too so we finally get to meet her :)
Hope everyone is doing well.

BNuke's Mom: Glad to hear update about your son and how he's doing! VA hospital unfortunately is backed up-probably why the wait. Meanwhile he has to be in pain-so very sorry to hear this. Hopefully it's something that will heal quickly and not cause a lot of pain. Best of luck to him and you Momma!

Hi all - Happy Wednesday!
Well my son is in his 4th week of college classes and so far he's enjoying it! He said the calculus class takes up the most time but he found a study group to join so all is well ;-)
He fell longboarding over labor day weekend and separated his shoulder so he's been dealing with that. The ER dr put it in a sling and he can't see a dr at the veteran's hospital until October 18th! That's a little frustrating but nothing he can do about it.
Hope everyone is well!

Hi DonnaEricsMom-
With the ship being home your son should have his own mailing address on base. The only base mine lived on was when he was at Nuke school in SC, before the Truman, and I'm pretty sure he had a PO box on base. He should be receiving other mail, I'd guess, so if he doesn't he should find out his proper mailing address. I'm sure someone else may know more about Naval base mail details. I'm sure he'll get it sorted out soon but may need your prompting mom!
