My HN - E3 sailor just made it into CP and started FMTB this week. I've seen some videos and I have no idea how the all do this! Does anyone know if we are back to just white envelopes or can care packages be sent to them?
Happy Friday all! Sorry that I have been absent as of late. Things are a little crazy at my house right now. Thought I would check in and welcome all the new people. I am just waiting for my son to get home now. Next month he will be home from his first deployment so I am anxiously awaiting that. Hope you all have a great day.
First and foremost HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you great moms out there. Second it finally happened. He got officially got his pin. He can wear it proudly now. Took them over 3 weeks to finally get the paperwork through and get the ceremony done. One happy mommy today. I have a great weekend so far. My youngest graduated yesterday from high school and today my corpsman got his FMF pin. What a wonderful weekend it has been. Have a wonderful day everyone.
medic mom...CONGRATS and BRAVO ZULU on your son's accomplishment!
Frustration setting in. My son earned his FMF pin last week. He is still waiting for the ceremony and certificate. Hoping that it happens soon for him. Will keep you updated.
medic mom, Congratulations to your son on earning his FMF pin!!!
Hi Marcy, I'm glad to be here...:-) For those that don't know me, my son is an FMF Corpsman who deployed in 2011 to the sandbox and is headed back to the sandbox now for his 2nd deployment!
