Thanks for the welcome Wisconsin! I have been enjoying exploring all the groups. The groups for moms of daughters sounds interesting and I have joined a group of Texas moms. Yes we are finally warming up here in Texas after a cold winter (not by your standards, of course) but cold for us. I love spring and dread the coming heat of summer. By May we will already have temps in the 90s! My daughter is stationed in California and I have visited her several times and I like the California weather! I really miss her. She has been training for the past few weeks and is super busy right now.

Hi - I am new to N4M and I am so interested in being part of the Moms of Officers group. My daughter has been in the Navy two years, so I am a late bloomer. I hope all you experienced moms can help me get all this figured out. I don't even have a Facebook account! My daughter is assigned with a squadron and I miss her so much, but I am very proud of her, of course..

Received this in an e-mail.......thought you might appreciate it.
"Remember. . . .A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America', for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it."

Ask yo uofficer for the ship FPO address. You do not need to plac a SSN on the box. You do not need to put Wardroom on the box. If already deployed check with the Ombudsman.

. Sailors Prayer
by Charles D. Williams
A short poem for sailors
Sailors pray,
For fair winds and a following sea
The smell of salt in the air,
The feel of their skin as it's touched by the spray
An albatross soaring above,
Dolphins in the ship's wake at play
To witness a work of art that only God can create,
The sunset at the end of day
At night a million stars in the sky,
Safe anchorage in an islands lee
When the time comes to die as for all it must,
To awake in Sailors Heaven where nothing ever rusts
And always there would be,
Fair winds and a following sea

Well, I am just beginning this journey with my son. He is scheduled to graduate OCS on March 26th...then the wait begins. He has wanted to be a naval aviator since the age of 3 (yes...he knew about it even then!) We both have so much to learn!

Thanks for the info., DJJJMom. Interesting. I will look in discussions.......I'm still new to this website and not quite sure all the things you can do here.
Chris.......that's really wonderful that you were in Haiti helping out. I have been proud of what has been done there by our sailors as well.

Alll...If you are a collector of all Navy things, the Post Office has just put out 4 stamps of Navy hero's.
