WhitsMom:  I don't have a SR in bootcamp.  Mine PIRed back in early 2010.  Just a N4Moms veteran on here to help out!  :-)

Comment by VickiW Ship12 Div 147 PIR5/11 on April 10, 2012 at 7:40am

@Whitsmom I am so glad you got a call.  I never received one from my daughter who is in the same division :(  I could not sleep last night thinking if I feel asleep sh would call and I would miss it.  Wonder why she did not get to call.

Comment by Michelle on April 10, 2012 at 7:12am

Ladies ~ Welcome to Pensacola, when you get here!!  Pcola is HOME for my family & SR!! Our daughter will be in Damek, VA for A school & possibly C school ~ looking forward to visiting her wherever she goes!!  Get ready though ~ we have the most beautiful white beaches ever and this little Naval town likes to party!!

Comment by Linda (Ship 11 Div 141) on April 10, 2012 at 1:13am

Karri, that's so exciting though to experience a whole different city and life with your husband, what more can you ask for right ? :) I am definitely being optimistic towards being a Navy girlfriend in that it's a really good benefit for traveling. Oh, we talked about moving in but not until he is done with his active duty. Unfortunately that is a long way from now, but on the brighter side, I have a lot of time and space to focus on my own career. Despite that I would choose to rather live with him any day if our life permits it. :) I am majoring in business and moving around is definitely not securing for my career path. For the next few years, all I can do is wait for him to come home. I'm so excited for your journey as a Navy wife, it's something of-course we did not plan as little kids ^_^ But it will very memorable!

Comment by Karri.Terry714 on April 10, 2012 at 12:27am
Linda, yeah I'm very excited about me being able to move with him, it will be hard to adjust to new environment abs different places traveling because I've been in Cincinnati my whole life! I agree it was out choice to spend our lives with a sailor an it'll all work out (: we will get chances to see places that we have never seen before! It'll be a new experience! an I love Florida! I heard a few were going to school there where your boyfriend will be! Thank you! I've never been to Chicago but heard it was pretty city though! I wish you guys luck too! We can do it an be there for our sailors! ((: are you planning on moving with your boyfriend anytime soon or wait till college is over?
Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 10, 2012 at 12:19am
So sorry I haven't been here today. I have been driving and made it to VA Beach. Waiting now for my Sailor to get home from work. My eyes atte getting heavy lol. I will catch up tomorrow when I can figure out how to work the internet here. I hate using my cell for internet.
Comment by Linda (Ship 11 Div 141) on April 10, 2012 at 12:06am

Karri- I'm so glad to hear that you have the opportunity to move and be with him. That is very supportive of you and it must be really hard. I admire that! I hate the thought about moving around and having to adjust all over again but I guess we all have to adjust to that idea if we decided to spend our life with a Sailor :) I wish you the best of luck in Chicago! I heard it's a beautiful city :) My boyfriend will be attending school in Pensacola, Florida

@BCmomMay - I know how you feel about receiving everything later than everyone else. For a moment, I hated the fact that I lived all the way in Texas but I can't change that right now. At times, it can be quite discouraging but we can do it! :) Thank you for your advices. I most definitely do not see it as a lecture. I hear all that you say as motivation for me to continue to support him and myself :) Thank you so much.

@diannep...Did you get a call today?

Comment by modaPIR5/11Ship12Div147 on April 9, 2012 at 11:32pm

Well...I got my first phone call today, while I was working, of course. It caught me tee totally off guard! I felt like I was living part of a book while I was listening to her voice...A Tale of Two Cities, "It was the best of times, It was the worst of times". To be honest, I don't even remember the whole phone call! All I remember is she was crying, and I went into shock! I don't remember saying anything except, "Ok, I love you sweetheart", at the end. She said it is so hard, and there are 2-3 girls in her division that fight all the time, which causes ALL of them to get into trouble, so she only had 2 minutes to talk! I didn't have my list of questions with me because I was at work, and to make matters worse, I was in the middle of drawing blood from a patient. Lord, I wish I could have talked to her more!

Comment by Donna on April 9, 2012 at 9:57pm
@Linda, I am in TX too and I seem to get everything a day or two later than everyone. Do not be disappointed in yourself! You should be very proud of yourself for continuing with your education and working toward your degree. He will support you and you will support him to get to where you both want to be and then you canbe together and both be doing something you love. Sorry, I am a teacher and I gotta give you my teacher lecture. Study hard and do well on all your exams!
