Nick was supposed to be going to Afghanistan in January, but he told me now that he is staying on base. He also said that no more troops are going to Iraq and Kuwait and only limited to Afghanistan. Has anyone heard anything about this.
That I knew, just from speaking to the ombudsman when Nick was at FTX. He accidentally discharged a blank. She told me not to be surprised if he gets booted for that because they are finding reasons to get rid of people. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't because he did something wrong. He is actually upset that he isn't going.
Denise, getting there on Thursday the 6th and coming home the Monday the 12th. Is Michael going to Steven & Kristin's reception on Saturday the 10th? I would so love to see him! And of course, I will post pics of any Seabee I see and give them major hugs. Steven has been told he is still leaving in January for a short deployment and then transferring to Batt. 1. Gets home base for 13 months after the deployment, which will be good so he can get to know his new little one.
Thanks for posting in the Blog Denise...I loved it and wanted to share with all of N4M's but didn't know how so just posted it in my groups. It is a really nice tribute!
Devin got new orders today. Instead of doing his reserve duty at Port Hueneme he will be reporting to the Los Angeles NAS. Closer to home but worse traffic. He will be in attached to ACB-CM1 I think they are also know as PHIBCB ONE any one else here in this battalion? Looking for any information you may have from personal experience.
Well…our Seabee son is home! Hubby flew out to watch the ceremony and bring him home. I was able to book hubby on the same flight as our son. Both my men are reservists. He wasn’t able to go to PIR as he was in Iraq. I am thankful he was able to go to “A” school grad…it was a very nice ceremony and he wore his dress uniform (AF).
The graduation was on Pearl Harbor Day. (Ironically, that was the result of the formation of the Seabees…civilian contractors had been used to build up until the U.S. officially entered the war.) Then they flew home that day. He had to report to his duty station the next day so they just drove out and spent the night there. He is now tucked away on the couch with his favorite dog (who is VERY happy to see him) and relaxing.
It’s been eight months since he left for Boot Camp...so thankful he finished and finished well…his whole class made honor student.
Here is a drawing my other son did for a poster we made for him…(yeah it’s an M-16 not a Thompson…but when he did a search on his iPad I think he got a really old picture of a Seabee! LOL)
Love the picture Fireteamleaderwife! Woo Hoo! on having your Seabee home, ours comes home soon and I can't wait. He wants to keep it a surprise for us, so all he is telling us is soon! Boy I can't wait!
Hi all new to this group. My son is on A school now and is spending his first holiday away from home. Would anyone have a lead on a prepaid wireless hotspot device to use in Gulfport so that he does not exceed his smartphone tethering service?? Thanks
Happy Holidays to all the military women and men who have chosen to serve our country. Happy Holidays to all their families and friends. Be Proud of Them Always.
Malamama, I already replied to you in the other group. (I didn't know your son is a Seabee...) This is a good place for general Navy or Seabee info...but the Iraq and Afghanistan group is the one that will carry you through. Take a deep breath and hang out with us.
MalaMama: My son was in Afghan most of 2010....it takes lots of prayers, friends you can talk to and sending lots of care packages and letters to your Seabee...Just stay busy and cherish the contact you'll have through Skype, Facebook, Messaging, etc....It's a tough ride...but the ride will soon end...
Just got told my kiddo got a "special evaluation" so now she will take her PO exam almost 9 mos early. was so excited. I told her all her hard work would pay off.
Now if some more movement happens that would be awesome. Hard to think that you are qualified to take the exam and can not get the higher rank since no moves have happened.
All is well though, this just shows me she is as strong as anyone and can do what she sets her mind to.
Basically, they told her this month (earlier), she did not have to wait for the Sept. Since she had a special evaluation and was I guess recomeneded to take in March. So really that is not waiting the 9 mos. To me that is them telling her 9 mos early she can take it. May not make sense to many. Makes perfect sense to me and when I called her Uncle who is retired Navy he said same thing. When they tell you something early it is a good thing.
Hi moms! I'm a corpsman mom stopping in to share a wonderful Seabees story from yesterday's news.
Yesterday near Buellton, California, a truck hit the back of a BMW carrying a mom, her 10 yr old & 10-week old. The truck plunged through the guardrail, the car smashed and left dangling off the bridge. While they were waiting, terrified, for an HOUR for rescuers to reach them, US Navy Seabees who were stuck in the traffic used the forklift they were transporting to keep the car from falling. Though the truck's driver was killed when the truck fell below, mom and daughters were extricated & only had minor injuries. That green thing in the photo is the forklift. Talk about a Bravo Zulu moment for your wonderful Seabees! Rescue, photos, video
Good morning all. Wow, I really need to keep up with my Navy moms. I am working on sending my son his first package and having a hard time what to put in it. There are so many goodies I know he would love that he can't get.
I hope you all have a wonderful day and can stay warm in whatever neck of the woods you live in.
Julie, correct a lot of people don't go, but when I went, I found it to be nice because there are MUCH less people than boot camp graduation. It was much more personal.
Thanks for info. We live far away and I expect my son to be home soon after A school graduation and then return for combat training. I do have some tie to think about making the trip.
Ugh, here we go again! Why is it my son can only give me less than a weeks notice to get airfare? Everything is either completely booked or overbooked and I have such a short window to go see him. Anyone have any ideas? Just found out a couple of weeks ago they are expecting a baby on July 4th(shocker) so I am trying to get into Grandmother mode!
Ann-Marie, I agree with Denise on this one. Thank God Steven (for the most part) just goes with what I tell him is available, when he will be flying and what he owes. Congrats on the Grandmother situation. We can go through this together as Steven and Kristin's bundle is due June 18th.
Thanks Jaz and Denise, but he is being deployed for the first time and if I want to see him I have a finite window. Made some compromises and bringing my daughter instead of my husband and paying a fortune for the tickets. I really was hoping to be able to bring my husband and make a mini vacation out of it because he really needs to get away, but as usual it never seems to pan out. Do you guys know anything about the Marriott on East Beach Blvd?
Denise I will most likely start putting my foot down on his leave transportation since we just gave him a truck. I just don't understand why he can only give me days notice?
Jaz I will most likely be going out for the birth too, but I can't stomach my daughter-in -laws mother so this should be interesting to say the least!
Ann-Marie- I understand about times...when I went to CA to see my daughter before she left for deployment, she had to figure when the best time was due to work and watch schedules. She also wanted to buy my ticket. Maybe, just maybe daughters since they seem to be closer (at least with all the Sailor moms, and many Seabee moms I know personally) to the family. I think that is a big percentage of girls anyway..
I had 2 weeks notice, but all worked out well. She ended up being able to take some liberty since it was just after FEX also.
The ticket, I could not let her pay for it, we compromised and split it. Was not too bad. 300.00 round trip. Good luck and enjoy your time.
My grnadsons other grandma and I hit heads many times. Now she actually has seen first hand what we always disagreed about.
When my grandson was born (not that I wanted to be in the room) she shut the door and when she came out she went right to the cousin with the pictures. it was another 45 mins before we saw Liam.
Now we can actually talk and she texts me often with the crazy crap her daughter is doing. I figure it this way, you are in baby's life FOREVER, make the very best of it.
In the end if you keep a level head, things may change. They did for me, I do not go shopping to to lunch with her, but we can sit and have coffee and know that the # 1 thing is the baby boy.
Good luck with the in-laws, it is touchy. My husband and I prefer the other grandfather and step grammy, they do not carry on as teen agers as the ex-daughter in laws mother and her boyfriend to.
We paid over $1.400 for two tickets, now lodging and a rental car! Oh, well hopefully that won't happen anymore.
Thanks for the advice Tobianne, I try and stay out of the way because my son doesn't like his mother-in-law too and I don't want to add fuel to the fire.
She and her husband are in the middle of a nasty divorce, which doesn't help because they are playing tug of war with their daughter (and the mother is literally certifiable, no lie, psych meds and all) so I am just going to be supportive and be as positive as possible!
Ann, you should ask your son to book you a room at the Navy Lodge. If you do that then it will only be $37(usually) a night for a room that is walking distance from your son. Or heck, just call him and have him on the phone with you to get the info you need and do it yourself lol. The link is http://www.cnic.navy.mil/gulfport/FleetAndFamilyReadiness/HousingAn... and it will let you choose your dates and everything you need. When it asks for purpose, rank, etc. that is all his information. It will make sense once you look at it. It may eliminate the need for a rental car as well. When do you get in to Gulfport? I can always give you a ride to the base if I'm available. I have school Monday-Thursday, but have breaks or get out early. If for some reason the lodge doesn't work out for you, I would suggest the Holiday Inn on Hwy 90 in Long Beach. It is relatively close to base (I live 5 miles from base and the hotel is only about .5 miles from me) and is right on the beach. Long Beach is very clean and you would be down the road from downtown. There are restaurants, shops, and other places you could go while there if you have the time. Please let me know if you need any help with anything. I know a lot of the mom's have been down here and can give you good information, but I'm always willing to help! PM me with your dates and I can let you know if I can give you a ride :D
I haven't been on here in such a long time. I do jump on from time to time just to keep up on what is happening. Everyone is so helpful, gracious, and funny sometimes too!
Ann, we have stayed at the Holiday Inn in Long Beach a couple times now and will be staying there again this year as we want to be with our son when he is deployed again. If your son is 21 he can get you a military discount at the Holiday Inn.
Thank you everyone for the great advice. I ended up staying at the Courtyard Marriott in Gulfport until the last day. Then I moved down the road to the Motel 6 in Biloxi the last night.(Kids are living off base with friends for now and we had no privacy) We all wanted to nest, including their dog who wasn't allowed at the Marriott. I had to drive my son to base at 1 am anyway.
I actually didn't mind the area. We hung out on the beach a lot. The highs were in the low 70's so I wanted to be outside all the time. I just wished I had more time there.
The baby is due 7/4/2012 and her mother hasn't offered to come help her so I offered. This is all so new to me. Hoping to send my daughter down for the next four months so she can help my daughter- in-law get moved into their own home, drive her to her Dr. appts and hopefully get her LICENSE!!!!
Just spent a week in Gulfport before my son left and I'm getting to know the area a little better. We picked out an apartment for him to come home to in Long Beach right across from the beach. Really pretty. Planning on going down when they return and help his wife move in and then be there to welcome them home when that happens.
Sounds like there is exploring to do on the shops and etc in Long Beach. We were really wanting to find a park to walk in and take pictures but we did that on the beach but when we go back is there a nice Park in Gulfport or Long Beach? We are so used to Parks here in Ohio it's something him and her also tried to find and couldn't. We are new to finding things here.
There's the park with the Friendship Oak there in Long Beach. There is also a nice play park near the pier in Gulfport. Our sons must be in the same battalion.

Or heck, just call him and have him on the phone with you to get the info you need and do it yourself lol.

I can always give you a ride to the base if I'm available. I have school Monday-Thursday, but have breaks or get out early. If for some reason the lodge doesn't work out for you, I would suggest the Holiday Inn on Hwy 90 in Long Beach.
