but its worth the price when the battle is won.
And remember he's thinking of you every day,
he's sad and he's lonely while so far away.
So love him and miss him and hold your head high,
Be strong and have faith, wipe that tear from your eye.
Your man's a seafarer, like that old ancient trader,
It's a high price you pay for loving a Sailor!

So far so good in the housing. I havent been there since May 8th. It is hard to socialize bc everyone around me is either a chief or master chief. And what I was told that we couldnt socialize people higher ranked than my husband.

oh no i dont like living in military housing i live out in town in a condo.

Thomas's uncle really wants me to join the JAG corp bc he was LT.Commander in the Navy JAG corp. But I really love counseling, I enjoy helping people. I am only twenty hours short of getting my masters in social work. I am currently volunteer with VA hospital working with soldiers that have PTSD and substance abuse problems. Now if you need help in Political Science, Sociology, Psychology, Criminal Justice, and Social Work I am your girl. I would be happy to help. Now if it is math sorry. Are you leaving in military housing?

STA -21 is hard because only a selected few are choosen to go they have to compete with a bunch of people. JAG corp is really good. well JAG is probably the best corps because they are not that highly deployable.
-

Why is STA-21 hard to get into? I was thinking that he would go into reserves go to school the go full-time officer status. They wanted me to work with the JAG corp bc I have a legal background and worked in the court system, but I really dont want to go to law school. Now if it helps my family then off to law school I go.

Now for web cams i have never heard of that. CDH are very good remember they have to pass all the navy's and state strict rules. if you are a full time online student i am not sure if they accept that you might have to be in class for the military to pay for it. An email address to get ahold of the CDC here is ccrr@mwrsw.com if you email them you usually get a response within two days. Hopefully they will be able to put you on the list. you will need your husbands orders and a copy of his page two. Sta-21 can be a difficult program to get into but i wish him the best of luck. As far as you becoming an officer I dont know who told you that but as long as you were not an officer prior to getting married because the navy does frown upon that. it is totally fine your were married prior to becoming in officer. What kind of officer would you like to become?

I wanted the military to pay for my PHD. I am full time online student. Now I am trying to get my hubby in college he wants to finish his degree in criminal justice and then get a masters. I am hoping he can get in the sta -21 program. I dont want seem like an over possive mother I am looking for daycares that have web cams so I can watch Bradley in daycare.Good Luck with nursing, Thomas's mother is an Larbor and Delivery Nurse thirty years.

I personally thing CDH is better but it is very difficult to get it i was on the waiting list for four months before I got a phone call. So my best bet is for you to find someone in town until they call. are you a full time student? if you are you can get subsidy which is a lifesaver I only pay 87 dollars instead of 220 a wk. Being in the navy isnt all it is cracked up too be I am very much looking forward to gettting out. I am working on my nursing degree one class at a time not an easy task

@ Tina
You are a sailor too? You go girl that is great!!! I want to join the navy but I was told I couldnt bc I would an officer and my was enlisted. Which I think bull hockey. We were married when I wanted to sign up. What are you studying? I hope my husband mets some new friends on the ship. I know it must be hard for him bc he is new to the ship and he is a odd duck. He is a nerd and I love that about him. I really want to work but I dont want to be away from my duagher Bradley. Yes I am first time mother at 34 and a cougar. My husband Thomas is 24 and I am 34. Oh the daycare topic which one is better? Which do you use?
-
-
well daycare is a tricky one are you planning on CDC or CDH for daycare? I am in the same boat my husband did back to back deployments missed my pregnancy and the first yr of my child growing up and I am also in the Navy juggle work and school and a newborn AHHHHH!!! so I completely undestand, and I cant even talk to my husband.
