Welcome to All Moms, Wives, Girlfriends who may have a sailor on a frigate. I noticed that there was a nice site for Destroyer Moms (lots of activity there) but could not find one for the sailors on the small ships, frigates with much smaller numbers of sailors per ship. There are a couple of frigates with a moms' sight of their own but little, if any, activity there. Thought, maybe collectively, we could develop a site with lots of sharing and support and develop our own Frigate Moms site. Please stop by often and share with us. This ship assignment is totally new to me and I am sure I will have lots of questions. There may be others out there with the same....and I am sure there are lots of experienced family members out there with oodles of answers, stories from from your frigate sailor's adventures. Here we go, April 2012, let's come together and support each other.
This group does not have any discussions yet.

MBC, I think we have spoken before too. And I surely have spoken with bodie5(my son and hers are buds). My son was div 949. He is currently in San Diego.
My son was in 349. He is currently in San Diego. Will be heading to Norfolk, VA mid June or so. He will be on the USS ElRod.
Found your personal email in my folder, ThunderD's Mom. I will send you a personal message on there. Yay!!!
He's coming from Corry, Pensacola. Finishing IT A-School Apr. 6, then taking a few days leave before reporting to Mayport/ship. Son was in Div 349 at GL. We may have even met each other before. I need to get my Navy info folder out and check. Where is your sailor now? Did he report there right after GL?
Hello Mombychoice,
My son will be joining the Robert G Bradley in July. I was glad to see your post here and thanks for the invite. I think our sons PIR'd on the same day-10/21/11? What is your son's rating?
Anyone have a sailor on USS Robert G Bradley?
