Thanks for sharing your pictures. Glad you had a good time with your sailor. I am so sorry to hear about your loss though. You certainly have had a rough time of it.
Thanks Donna for sharing pictures. So glad to see you had a great time. I am so sorry about your loss yet again. You and your family are in my prayers.
I know exactly the feeling gcmb. I didn't cry that much as my son wanted this and I am proud of him. But right now they are on hold and frustreted so when I left base last night I had to hold back the tears. Didn't want to make them feel sadder. Hugs to you.
Nope that phase for me gone over 15 years ago. lol Just feeling bad for these guys on hold. Some won't get to go home before next assisgnment if they are on hold for too long.
I am sad as I am leaving Chicago today and my sailor and all of my adopted ones. Still haven't heard if they are still going to be on hold or not. I had such an awesome time being with all of them It will be an experience I won't soon forget. Big sigh --
Woo hoo - Seby made it home. Only has 4 days, but we will take it. Cost a fortune to reroute his ticket, but thank God hubby had. He really wanted to come home. I am trying not to take up his time as I had him to myself for a week in Chicago. Brought me home a seabag of laundry. What is this? Then his 3 rooms are trashed again. What happened to all that neat boot camp training? hellooo -- lol Don't know how one person can cause such chaos in such a short time. lol God bless him.
Kat-when Kevin was home at Christmas time, the same thing happened, and when I asked him about it, he said he only keeps his area clean when it is going to be inspected.
WOW... took me awhile to catch up.... its been over a week.... I love this group... we have such an awesome bond even tho our sailors are going different directions..we are still here to support each other.... love you all... now to drop in the other groups and back to work
Eileen... great update. The emotional roller coaster we ladies are on in incredible to me. We are excited for our sailors opportunities, fearful because of those same opportunities, and saddened by the emptiness we feel because they seems so far away. It's wonderful we have an outlet here to express all of that.
Ladies all... thanks for still keeping this group going.
Small up date on Sam... He is on hold in San Diego working in the admin dept. He is waiting for orders then to c-school. He missed his grandpa's funeral, felt bad about that but, as he always does, took it in stride. I'm still holding tight to the memories and pics of my trip with him in SD 2 weeks ago as it was such a bright spot in a 2 month period where my husband and I each
losing our dads.
He still calls almost daily... As I know you do, I look forward to those calls and treasure the conversations.
Finally got back to the group. What a two week rollercoaster have I been on. Sent package to Seabee for her Sailor, hope it gets it this time. My "old old", her words, not mine; she only 85 young, has been sick and driving my crazy. Sailor got orders to go to the USS Pioneer in San Diego(spelling?). To top that off the world is going "crazy". I'm starting to fill up extra gas can; stocking the stable shelves and everybody is ill/sick at work. lol, i'm a nurse!! help, nurse Overboard.
But I do agree with too many groups. reeniegaalla me too, I'm sticking to just this group and the brat packs. that's about all I can handle right now.
well i will say this... I was so glad my FB Navy moms kept me company on our trip to Tx Friday night... knowing it was also private from anyone but us navy moms...I loved it.... thank you to the ones that kept me laughing...lol...
Ok, Sailor came home for the weekend and now is in San Diego, and on board the USS Pioneer. And that's all I know. The next adventure begins.
I look up and see we are almost at the 160 days. It's so hard to believe that it has been that long already. I remember the days of will he "get thru boot camp". I always read the posts but cann't always have time to add the comment. Boy, have we come along way.
Just wanted to check in. Its been awhile now. My husband had lung surgery on 03/7 to remove cancer and they gor it all and he is now cancer free. The last 3 months has been very difficult but we made it through. Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers. My sailor is doing ok. Virginia is too cold for him.
Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I've been on this site. Our son graduated from school and flew to San Diego today. He's assigned to the USS Decatur. Graduation on 10/1 seems like ages ago. It was such a special day and weekend.
Computer crashed. Down to using the iPhone . Sorry it's been awhile. Sailor in San Diego deploys April . I think he's the only one who is on a crew conflict. Not really sure what that fully means. Anybody have an idea ?
Good news on cancer . The best for you . Hard to type large amounts from the phone. Thank god its Friday .

OK.... I'm done... sorry, there hasn't been a post in here since March!!! So I gave it some Love! :)
Oh how I miss the days when we chatted everyday......couldn't wait to get home to talk to you guys to see if anyone had found out anything. Hard to believe it has almost been a year! Sharon you really should put on some clothes, you never know who is going to show up! lol lol lol
Read a post in Brat Packs that we were still here. Hi ladies! Yes Sondra I too miss the days when we were all on at once trying to figure out what was going on with our "sailors". My husband didn't understand how I could be on for so many hours just watching the screen to see if there was any new news. lol
Cheers to all of us for helping each other through and continuing to do so. The moms/wives/friends of 10/1/2010 rock the world. Watch out when we have our reunion - nothing stopping us now! lol
I, too, love keeping in touch with you ladies. I belong to the Texas n4m group also. Some nice ladies there but this is more like family. I wish more were involved from his ship but alas.... I still have you ladies.
haha thank you, you can call me Lissa if you like :) (short for Melissa) I figured it wasn't used so much anymore. I recently made an account to try and chat with some Sub people, my boyfriend (who also graduated the same day, we were in the same division) just left for his first sub patrol, and I'm trying to find as much info on it as possible since I haven't been able to talk to him since he left! :( I also enjoy talking to everyone on here, I don't feel so alone missing a loved one!
Ladies, for us this is where it all began, one year ago. At this time I was up all night worried about what would happen to my boy. I was excited, proud and worried. And here I am now a PNM (proud navy mom)
my mom is not on here, she is not very tech savvy haha I JUST taught her how to make a facebook and she's still kinda lost on that. I guess it wouldn't hurt to give her the name to the site, though, I have a feeling it's something she would like/get addicted to. I will let her know about it & get back to you!
Hello everyone. As some of you have heard, a sailor from our 10/1/10 PIR group from division 330 was killed in action Thursday while serving in Afghanistan. Our hearts go out to his family, friends and shipmates.
R.G-L , your courage and sacrifice will not be forgotten.

You're welcome for the pic. We had a series of "serious" pictures and "goofing around" pictures. they were selling the "goofing around" pictures separately, and I didn't purchase one thinking it would be in the Division yearbook. It was not, luckily, someone from my division posted it on facebook, so I just thought I'd share that with any of the families who got yearbooks (or didnt get yearbooks) and didnt get to see that picture if anyone on here is a family member from someone in 323
