Hey everyone.... sooo hows our RSS boys and A school boys (and gals too of course??) How are our newbies from BC kids?? And most important... how are all us moms!! hahahahaha..... justsayin... sheesh... no one ever thinks about us huh! hahaha... well I do... I just still say the hardest job is a momma / wife of a military personnel! Okay so my boy is planning on suprising his sister for Christmas. hahah!!!! I cant wait.. we are trying to figure it out.... hehehehe
Sweetpea, Check your in box, link should be in your box. Let me know if you have any questions or problems. Spyderco is the company that makes the knife.
Lydia - I can only assume that my son is doing great. It's how he sounded on the phone anyway.
As far as Christmas...He's all I asked for on my list and I really have no clue what to get him. He's not the same kid that left me in September and that seems to be making something that was already tough, tougher. I think I'll go for things that will make him laugh. Like the Popeye pajamas my mom is getting him, LOL.
NavyMom93 - Oh how funny is that! My son loves anything Hurley... (sport clothing) so since who knows if he will go overseas etc... and cant have lots of "stuff" ... that would be easy to pack and take.... I dunno!???
What gets me through all of this is something that happened last night when my husband stopped for milk. He was talking to the clerk, who is our friend, about our son. When he got ready to leave, the man behind him stopped him and said "Can you do me a favor?" My husband, being a nice guy, said "If I can, yes." The man looked at him and said "Tell your son thank you for me the next time you talk to him." The look on my husband's face when he told me this...priceless. The pride beaming through me even as I tell this...brighter than the sun itself! It's funny how a comment from a stranger can make your day sometimes. I needed that yesterday and I can't wait to tell our son!
Warm Hugs to all of you. You are all a blessing to me and I hope that I can do for you what you have done for me.
Sweetpea... that is so true.. they give of themselves and put up with such difficulties in order to serve this great country!
NavyMom93.. that is awesome... gosh, I remember this past few months ago.. as I was at the Post Office mailing a ton of care packages.. people right there having to wait in line donated to our packages and the Post Lady too! Then one day we were at the store purchasing the goodies for a ton of care packages.. we usually have no less than 4 shopping carts full to the brim of stuff..... the people in line behind us engaged us in conversation about who we are and what we do and after we explained it... one man and his wife walked up the line and thanked us and handed us some money towards the costs.. SO, where ever I go almost always, I wear something that lets people know that I have a son in the military and or we do care packages... cause you never know who is watching you.... just like your hubby! VERY kewl!
Rox and NavymomG... how is A school coming along for your two boys?
HEY hows our boys who are currently in RSS??? Have not seen an update in a while .. did the "Roll backs" get started back up again?? Gosh I was gone for the week of Thanksgiving and I lost all track of everyone...
OMG the care packages are AWESOME.... very kewl! My son ate Thanksgiving with a fellow RSS who is married.. the wife cooked ham and all.. last year I remember he was still in Pcola in training and ate at Denny's hahah... but at least Ill have him for Christmas and hey... I understand just being with that boy the whole time!!! My B just has a few flights left so after that clavicle heals.. he will be up in the sky again.. he figures he will be done in a few months.. Glad your boy is moving onward and upward!
ALL our Sailors are moving along this pipeline... it is a tough one.. no doubt about it... Im glad we are all here for each other... from start to finish and beyond...
sweetpea.... Oh thank you honey..... yall are just the best!!! Just remember... what goes around will come back around... I know we think about our boys now and even more we will be thinking about them as time goes on... so I just keep thinking as I am working hard on care packages that one day it could be my son.. SO I thank you so much....
Ill tell you, you just cant beat the heart of a Navy momma! Nor the heart of a Navy Sailor!!!! hoooyaaa to our boys and each other!!!!!!!
For a gift of cash - you might try money origami. A lady I know can make it into a shirt (really cute) and I've seen some that have a shirt and tie. I'm sure you can find instructions online.
jbmom - how cute is that!!! woow got your request sista!!
NavyMom93 - that about says it all sista! I thank the Lord that He, through my sons recruiter almost 2 years ago... sent me here to N4M and then from there JessicaB and the Bootcamp group to the Pcola group to here and all the others... Could not do it without everyone.. its be a long hard, stressful pipeline for me.. and of course for our kids! Im glad that my boy will graduate in just a month or so.. For you new moms just starting off.... we are here for ya!
Hey everyone! Just got back from Norfolk and a wonderful visit with my son. It was so wonderful that his sister and her new husband could all get to Norfolk so we could all be together for Thanksgiving. We ended up eating Thanksgiving dinner at Cracker Barrel, but I didn't care; I was just thankful we were all together. My son was released back to flying the week we got there and he has been flying a bunch, so I think now he is only 1 flight behind his class. He had a flight Monday afternoon, so we got to meet with him Monday morning for a Starbucks. The Starbucks we went to was by the base, so we got to see 2 helos do auto rotations (one of the types of flights that our boys go through). It was very cool to get to see a glimpse of what my son was talking when he was describing what an auto rotation flight is.
We also decided to take a day trip to Arlington Cemetary while we were in VA. Nothing brings home the sacrafice these men and women make for our freedom than a trip to Arlington. There are so many headstones, it is just staggering.
Lydia-congratulations to your son on his stellar score on his final. I know my son is close to taking his final, but he wasn't exactly sure when he would be taking it.
CaliMom - funny just this am I was thinking about you and wondering how you were enjoying your time... super kewl stuff you got to see... man Im jealous but in a good way! hahaha.... So great he was released back... my B will not be released he thinks until just after Christmas but hey its all good... right timing I always say... he is feeling great tho and happy!!! I have not been to Arlington Cemetary but several others... We did the Sturgis Biker Rally 2 years ago and there is a huge military cemetary there... my hubby and I rode our bikes and we got off and spent hours just walking through and reading the head stones... It was the best day of the entire time I was there...... Well, I so glad you had a great time... hey any news on Kylesmom???????? uggggg
Hey laura... go up above to the forum discussions just up above here and click on theh Path of theh Rescue Swimmer... it will help you alot .. once he is out of Basic... you will have an Idea of what he will go through.. also the Pensacola site is a great one too.. but more than just rescue swimmers.. but good info there as well.
Have you joined BootCampMoms yet?? That is a good beginner site and YES anyone is welcome.. On that site you will see what the moms wives go through when the kids are heading off... good site also!!!!
AIRR - I was wondering where you were.. I wondered if he had graduated yet or not as we had talked about before. sheesh girl.. Does he know where they are going to send him yet?? I often thank God that my B broke that clavical cause otherwise he would prob grad also and be gone before the holidays!!! Strange thing for me to be happy about but it was in a weird way an answer to my prayers.. I pray your boy will be able to get home too!! God bless him... dont be a stranger... please check in and tell us how he is doing!!!
Hey Rox, Navymom93, swetpea and Ann1...... are any of yalls boys or their buddies flying back to Pcola after Christmas by way of Mobile...???? our jbmom wants to fly her boy back that way cause its cheaper than directly to Pcola.... and they could share the shuttle fare or taxi or which ever to get back to the base?????? Any suggestions for our new momma???????
Welcome Laura. I would also encourage you to join your PIR group once your boyfriend leaves for boot camp. I found the PIR group (for my sailor grad date) to be very supportive and there are several of us that still converse and offer support even though our sailors have been out of boot camp for over a year.
AIRR Mom-praying that the deployment gets delayed until after your sailor gets to come home and receive those hugs.
My sailor is flying in to Mobile on the morning of the 2nd... but not the 1st... sorry.
He should find out in the next week or so where he is off to after A-school, I am hoping for SD so he is closer to home and easier to visit- happy thoughts, happy thoughts...
Lydia, jbmom, So sorry I was out of town, with no internet access. T is leaving on Dec 17th in am and flying out of Panama City and returning on Jan 1 about 4pm also Panama City. Southwest fly out of there and it was the cheapest, If anyone is going on these dates he may be able to help out, let me know.
It's been a while since I've been on here. Everything is going well. SERE is finished, and he'll be home for Christmas! Can't wait, since last year he was in boot camp and missed being home for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years!
AIRR - I will keep my fingers crossed and say some prayers that you will have the holidays together this year.
I have no idea when my son is coming home. I still haven't heard a word about what his plans are. I don't know if he's going to his dad's house first or mine. I've had a short call from him since he got there but that's it. I'm trying to be patient. I did, however, figure out what to do for a present for him. It's not something he can take with him until he has a place of his own so in addition to that, we're going to take him shopping. He loves to do that and he'll get exactly what he wants and can have with him. I'll be so glad when I have more to tell you all about.
Warm hugs to all of you and many thoughts and prayers as well.
Jan - GREAT to see you on here again. Yes our boys will be flying home together and soon and I cant wait to see them both! And you as well.
NavyMom93 - it is sooo hard and such a hurry up and wait game.. Im praying hard for him to get home and you not to go crazy hahaha.. we have been on a roller coaster for so long that I dont know how to get off of it! hahahaha... still many sleepless nights for me same as a year and a half ago... ugggg
NavyMomGG - I remember being right here on N4M with yall when your boys connected at BC... now they will all be together for while in SD very kewl!
Sweetpea - praying for the best of best orders for him!!!!!!
NavymomGG, Yeah for C, graduating from A school Romeo. Very Exciting Stuff!! T is doing good, I know he will miss C. Lord willing he will graduate beginning of March. T says now SD is 1st choice for him, says he can't go to VA, romeo can't go to VA. Not what heard, but maybe not for FRAC school. Does he get to come home before SD? Sorry I can't remember what you said.
Lydia, I need to take notes too.
Sweetpea I with you I need a hug from my Sailor too!!! A year is too long, I will not let that happen again.
Lydia...I remember always being so glad to follow the progress with B since he was going the same route as my guy but a bit ahead of him...I've always been grateful for all of your support, guidance, interest, humor, knowledge, wisdom and Love....xoxoxo
Roxanne...Hello !! C is leaving for SD this coming monday...the following week he will fly home from there(SD)...he can't make plane reservations till he gets there incase anything changes and he is very concerned about the cost of his ticket...uuuggghhhhh......I'm glad T is doing good...They will either go to SD or Jacksonville...March will be here before we know it...I hope he gets SD so the guys can be together again..I know C will miss him too...xoxoxo
Hope you all have a GREAT day! Roxanne.... B was given a certain amount of travel days from Pcola to SD and he did stop here on the way for a few days... NavymomGG - awe thank you honey bunny!!!! xoxoxoxox
My son will be arriving at A school on Saturday 12/17, for the veterans out there..can he expect to get some leave for the holidays or will it be to close to get a request in?? Just trying to know what to expect for him :) thanks!
momof5...Im sorry I dont know...my son arrived in Jan....I just know there was a huge adjustment period (if he is coming from boot camp) and not necessarily the freedom that I expected but there werent any holidays mixed in so it may be different...
Happy Holidays to All and to your families. We were lucky, our sailor got home this year for Thanksgiving and will be coming home again after Christmas. He is a bit ahead of your boys here, I think. He is already at his FRAC training for Romeo... once they get there it is easier to get "in touch" with them. Still training, but more like a job and less like school, but they have so much to share with you it's amazing what they do!!! I am so proud of what he has accomplished since leaving home. I always knew he was a special person, but now so does everyone else :) It makes a mama so proud. Good luck to all of your sailors... I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and is blessed in this season of joy !!

momof5...Im sorry I dont know...my son arrived in Jan....I just know there was a huge adjustment period (if he is coming from boot camp) and not necessarily the freedom that I expected but there werent any holidays mixed in so it may be different...

Happy Holidays to All and to your families. We were lucky, our sailor got home this year for Thanksgiving and will be coming home again after Christmas. He is a bit ahead of your boys here, I think. He is already at his FRAC training for Romeo... once they get there it is easier to get "in touch" with them. Still training, but more like a job and less like school, but they have so much to share with you it's amazing what they do!!! I am so proud of what he has accomplished since leaving home. I always knew he was a special person, but now so does everyone else :) It makes a mama so proud. Good luck to all of your sailors... I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and is blessed in this season of joy !!
