Hey ladies I have a question if my BF's license is about to expire before he comes home does can he get it renewed in VA since that's where he will be now or will he have to come back to Georgia ? I tried looking it up but the internet wasn't telling me much
Happy Sunday everyone! I'm still happy dancing! Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee Gaisey messaging with your Sailor! Kiya, can he renew online in Georgia? Stay focused, patient and positive! Here is something for you to read over and over. Another Day Down! Have an awesome week!
I also sent you a message Catsmom. I think we have enough info, but not knowing what is in the packet, I worry we don't know something important. Thank you!!
Catsmom,Is the information in the packet you have the same as what the FRG will send to us once we are on their email list? I have forwarded the email from the FRG to my daughter so she will send them the required info. Hopefully she will do this, if not, I may be bothering you for it also. lol
Please catsmom. Can . U frwd me the info?? And so we need to be on a list... hadnt though of getting on base.... wowie..... so I need to tell him to put us on the list ? And is there a limit?
blessedsailorsmom, yes he needs to add you to the homecoming list on the ship. As far as I know there is no limit. Just makes it quicker to get on base being on the list. I will be happy to send you the info my daughter sent from the ship, just need your email address.
Hi Catsmom. I'd like to take you up on your offer to email the packet. My email is quzienkids4@gmail.com
Thanks so much. It's my sailor's first homecoming. I don't want to miss anything.
So much has gone on since my sailor son deployed!!! I know it is going to be tuff!!! Poor son he had gotton married ...... and found out that his wife was cheating on him continuasly!!!! She admitted it and now he has to go back to deal with that.....he loved her so much :'( I just deleted her from my friends on here!!!!! .... how sad people can ve so cruel ! But we his family are going and supporting him!!!!
Good Morning all another day closer. Everyone have a blessed day. Like Coach Shelia said kept the prayers going for a safe return home.
Talk to my sailor last night and he has a list of things he wants to do I said The first being to get a big hug and second he wants a sweet tea I told him you got it.and anything else he wants
Ladies: I am dong a Happy Dance that will rival your earthquake on the West Coast! My son sent a very short and to the point email that said: "Hey we are supposed to be getting in to Norfolk the first weekend in April.Just thought I'd let you know." So, I will be seeing him SOON! He probably didn't say more cuz he can't say more about how he's coming in, etc. but I sure do wish he had. So now he definitely is coming back early like the original plans and will take early leave right away then go back in time to get ready for your arrival in port! Yiiiipppppppeeeeeeee!!!!!
Carol Ann Doing the Happy Dance with you! That is Awesome news! I think all this Happy Dancing caused our earthquake..LOL
BusyMom2 would be happy to send you the info my girl sent from the ship, just message me your email address. I will send it when I get home from work.
Have a good day everyone!
Thank you Catsmom for the info. All the info will be so helpful. There was one thing that I didn't know that definatly caused us to scramble to find a solution. I know this won't effect most of you, but there are no dogs allowed at homecoming. The only thing my daughter requested was for us to bring her was her two puppies. I think she misses them as much as us. Anyway, I thought I would pass this on just in case it will help someone else in their planning.
Hello everyone :) I have been following this group since the Truman left on deployment and FINALLY decided to join. My husband is a Nuke on the Truman and I just got told last week he will be flying home soon. I was jumping up and down when I got the news. I am so excited!!
blessedsailorsmom. It's sad about your son but look at it this way; No matter what opinion might be, it's better to end the relationship before children come into it.
Young people don't even know what "love" is. They get caught up in passion and hormones and swear their "love" is special and different from all others. Most of us know that love comes from within, not from physicality.
My sailor finally loosed himself from the histrionic little cutie pie he was all panting over. She saw pictures of him on shore leave, having a good time with his buddies, having a few beers....called him and started screaming at him (she did that ll the time) and he finally had enough and ended it.
Fine with me. I knew once he was gone from home, the relationship would never last. And it didn't......and I'm happy for him. He's only 23.........and has a long time to find someone.....
GrandmaBarB you are so right about young love. These young ones always think they have things figured out and you cannot tell them other wise. There are times they need to learn from their own mistakes no matter how much it hurts us mom's to see it.
Good morning everyone, I am so happy for each and everyone of you mom's that are getting to experience homecoming. Unfortunately I will not be able to experience it due to a matter that I cannot say publicly. I am very saddened by this because it will be my son's first homecoming. He is married and it will just be him and his wife. No matter how hard my heart is breaking, he knows that I love him very much.
My sons wife desided she did not want to be married any more because he was out having a good time on shore lease. These kids need a reality check feel bad for my son because is baby is 14 months and will be living 10 hours away from him :(
I never post anything on here but I do read the posts. Sure do love those Cabana boys. My son works in the deck department and there were a few pics posted of him on the Truman facebook page. So agree with you Carol Ann on that one.
So sorry for you mtn50 that you won't be able to be at the homecoming. I'm with you on that one. Sure wish I could be there, but unfortunately, guess it isn't meant to be. Same for me that it will be only my son and his wife. So, we should join together in prayer that our sons and their wives have a very good homecoming experience, and that all goes well every step of the way for them. I will be praying for your son also! And for your broken heart. That he will know you are there in spirit! Keep the Faith! Stay Positive, and do the Happy Dance, Long Distance for him! I know I will. :)
Thanks rgriego. So sorry to hear you won't be able to be there either, but like you said they will know we are there in spirit. I will definitely be saying prayers for them and yours as well. Trying to keep the faith and staying positive, but definitely doing the happy dance for everyone. :)
To all. Thanks for your good words. He is young...too young to be with a gal still in her teens, for sure.
She's a young woman with many talents, very good looking and a "body that won't quite" (as some say)....but she is very immature and is looking for a good time Charlie who will take her out, show her a good time...and be at her beck and call.
I notice it didn't take her long to find "another".....about a month. She seems to be taking courses at community college...and that's good for her. She's smart as heck and needs to do something besides sling hash....(not that there is anything wrong with that...I did it for years)..
As for my Sailor. I'm glad he is untethered. Navy is soooo good for him and he will find his direction now that the distraction is gone.
Great idea mtn50! I want o see lots of pictures from all you lucky moms that get to be there for your sons and daughters! I know that's it's not likely, but, My son is Ernest Hathaway, ABH3. He's a Petty Officer, and I would love to see a picture of him if anyone could do that! His wife's name is Shannon.
We will be there for the homecoming.. a hug and then my DIL and son will spend some time alone.... taking as many pictures as we can and will happily post!!! God Bless .... excited and can't wait to see our son...
So sorry for those of you that won't be able to be there at Homecoming! It is a great experience and maybe this time you won't be able to but next time you will. I will say prayers for those heavy hearts and for your sailors to have a safe final trip on their journey home.I am not going to be there cuz mine is coming back in earlier then will be standing watch so your sons and daughters can take their leaves. I think it's great that my son volunteered to do this. I think he appreciates others doing this for him and is giving back so to speak. I will get to see mine SOON. Please pray for him to have a safe trip home.I definitely agree the more pictures, videos, etc you can show those of us who can't be there the better! It is a joyous experience and definitely one to be shared. Let us live vicariously through those of you that are fortunate to be there.Safe travels to all!
Carol Ann that is quite possible they know each other. I just found a guy in my history class who was a nuke that got out of the Navy in November. He knew my husband even though he has a very common name :) quite cool to hear about life on the ship as my husband only tells me bits and pieces.
