First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom".

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 3, 2011 at 6:45pm: mtnwoman, my son isn't at bootcamp yet. He is a senior in HS and finishes school the end of this month. Then he will be joining and going to bootcamp after DEP. I am very happy for him and support him 100% but I must admit I do dread him leaving. Especially with my daughter already a Sailor and living 7 hours away in VA and my stepdaughter is also a senior and will be going away to college. Our house is going to go from full to empty very soon :-( I know you all may think I am crazy but I have actually thought about adopting a child. It is just going to be too quiet around here and I don't have any grand children yet. I have another step-daughter but she lives with her mom. She is a Jr so she will be going to college before too long. I have always liked having the kids at home and all their friends. It's a good thing I have this site and the ribbons for PIR to keep me busy lol.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 3, 2011 at 4:57pm: Craig, My husband just laughed out loud at the one. :)

Comment by natalie'smom on December 3, 2011 at 3:35pm: Proud mom what part of california are you from

Comment by Craig on December 3, 2011 at 3:07pm: diannep - I'm not sure about that, but I am sure if it was a Rottweiller and a Chihuahua then there had to be a step stool in there somewhere....

Speaking of that....

The train was quite crowded, so a U. S. Sailor walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle.

The war-weary Sailor asked, 'Ma'am, may I have that seat?'

The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular, 'Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat.'

The Sailor walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was under that dog.

'Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired.'

She snorted, not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!'

This time the Sailor didn't say a word; he just picked up the little dog, tossed it out the train window, and sat down.

The woman shrieked, 'Someone must defend my honor! This American should be put in his place!'

An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up, 'Sir, you Americans often seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You hold the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your cars on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong b*tch out the window.

Comment by Proud Mom_Ship09/Div023 on December 3, 2011 at 3:03pm: My son graduates on dec. 29 PIR. Were from California flying to ORD. We can't wait to see our son.

Comment by mtnwoman on December 3, 2011 at 1:39pm: Hi Lala, my son is planning on joining Air Rescue also! I guess your son is going to Pensacola after PIR? I have yet to get a call, by my son called his girl for the first time last night, then she phoned me. She said he sounded a little tired, but just fine. That's really all I needed. Diannep: sounds like you have a meth lab with character. Enjoy.

Comment by diannep on December 3, 2011 at 11:32am: Craig, what does it mean if my Rottweiller mix looks a bit like the meth Lab???? I mean, he got one of those hematomas in his ear which made it heal all crinkly...and it sticks up a bit crazy! I can attest to the fact that he is and always has been a drug-free dog! :-) My yellow Lab looks nicer, but I have to admit...the crooked ear on my other dog gives him great personality!

Hope all have a great weekend!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 3, 2011 at 9:59am: My son is planning on joining the Navy as an Air Rescue Swimmer. He has been on the Rescue Squad here for more than 2 years and loves it. He just finished his Senior Project and did it on helicopters and how they are used in rescue missions of course tying that into the Navy. Here a pic of him on a training mission being lifted by a cable into a helicopter. I wanted to be there to see it but had to sub that day. After seeing the pics it is probably good that I was at work lol.
