  • Navymom2

    Dear Navy Moms:  Does anyone know if there an official way to contact my son? I URGENTLY need to get a message to him. It's about legal business. The little stinker is not responding to my emails or phone messages.  Thank you Sisters.

  • Catsmom

    Hi everyone, seems like forever since I have been here.. More busy now that I have the summer off than when I was at work!

    Carol Ann, Love the pictures! So Happy for all of you! Please thank him for me!

    Coach Shelia, How are you doing?
    too Tall Joan, so happy you got time with your girl! It is amazing how responsible they have become! Makes us moms proud!

    Carrie, did is see Twins? How exciting! Praying all goes well, and that everything is right for you!

    Ñavymom2 have you tried contacting the ombudsman? They should be able to help.

    Hi Grandma Bar B, how are you doing? Moved to Hawaii yet?

    jbird, hop you hear from your son soon!

    Hope I didn't miss anyone. All is well here, Crystal got her new orders, she will go back to Pensacola in Jan.( Corry Station ) and then will be stationed in Norfolk starting in July 2015. She will be working with an Admiral, and she has already received a welcome letter from him...was hoping she would get stationed in San Diego, but just more places to visit, and see when we do.
  • Carol Ann

    Thanks all! I think he's cute of course but every mother thinks her children are cute-lol! CatsMom-Wow! Working for an admiral! l'll bet you are so PROUD of her!

  • GrandmaBarB

  • DARmom

    Congratulations Carol Ann! I agree, he is very handsome. I am a lifelong Michigan fan and alumni from Michigan State and I wish him the very best of luck in his studies at Ohio State - as long as they don't beat us in football! lol

     

  • Carol Ann

    DARMom: Thank you! Even though you ARE a Michigan fan I think I can accept the compliment! lol

  • Carol Ann

    DARMom: For you! Michigan.jpg

  • DARmom

    Carol Ann - I'm just glad he selected a Big 10 school. He will be getting an outstanding education and he will have so many opportunities!  Has he decided what he wants to study??

  • Carol Ann

    He has talked about going there since he was a little kid. He visited 5 schools when he last was home on leave and OH ST offered him the best of what he wanted, the price was good and it was the closest to home of the schools he was looking at. he is getting his Mechanical Engineering degree first with another Major in German language. then is talking about going for his Masters in Education and becoming a HS Teacher and teach Engineering tech program like he was in for 2 years his Jr and Senior year. He wants to give back he says. He said Mom I do have one problem though I am afraid after being in the Navy my language isn't so good and I may cuss in front of the kids. I told him the fact he is worried about it he probably won't. He never cusses around me out of respect so i told him he could contain himself there too! Funny!

  • Navymom2

    Thank you BusyMom, Catsmom, and GrandmaBarB!  I knew my Navy Sisters would come through for me.  Long distance parenting is "tricky" to say the least... lol   I kept thinking about Coach Sheila's Call Your Mom shirts... :)  Luv all the photos - thanks for sharing. 

  • DARmom

    Well Carol Ann, just remember that Michigan State is the reigning Rose Bowl champion! As long as it stays in Michigan, I'm happy!  Beat Ohio!!

  • Carol Ann

    But we beat you the past two years DARMom when we played you-lol!

  • Coach Shelia

    Good morning everyone! Navymom2, I went on teespring.com checking out how to make Call Your Mama Sailor tshirt! LOL Silly?...Yes...will I do it and stop talking about it...probably not. LOL Navy blue shirt with yellow lettering and yellow anchor. Looks good, but it's fun to keep you all laughing about me saying that!  I hope you heard from your son though. Take care everyone!

  • Catsmom

    Carol Ann, sounds like he knows exactly what he wants, that is awesome! Wish him the best. He sounds like he will be an amazing teacher. I am sure by the time he gets through school a lot of the cussing will be in the past. And he already has control, so it should be fine. :-)

    Have a good day everyone!

  • Carol Ann

    Dragon7:  LOVE this picture! Saw it on FACEBOOK. Thanks Catsmom, I think he does know what he wants and I hope this will be it.

  • too tall Joan

    Dragon7 where did you get that pic? I looked on the Truman fb page and didn't see it
  • dragon7

    too tall, it's on the Roosevelt's fb page. There are some other really good pictures of the Truman as well.

  • Coach Shelia

    Thanks dragon7! Everytime I see any pics of the USS Harry S Truman my heart skips a beat! Sending you all prayers and well wishes today and forever! 

  • dragon7

  • Carol Ann

    Sounds like the Truman is getting ready to go to the shipyards for upgrades and maintenance...thanks for sharing the story dragon7.

  • Coach Shelia

    Carol Ann, what happens to Sailors living on the ship when the ship goes in for repairs?
  • Carol Ann

    Coach Sheila: They have to find another place to live if the ship's in the yard.

  • dragon7

    My son is being transferred to a helicopter squadron when they get back, but what do the sailors do that are still attached to the ship do while it is in the shipyard? Will a lot of them get transferred?

  • Coach Shelia

    Thanks Sandra! Oh wow!
  • carrie

    Dragon7, thank you for the share of TRUMAN'S Sailing with that Beautiful Rainbow & Pretty Fluffy Cloud! Just breath taking and to me the Pic tells me: GOD is Blessing and watching over TRUMAN'S, Crew and each one of our Gifted, Choose, Adorable, Loveable, Hardworking SAILOR'S Children's of some Proud Parents! And I'm pretty darn Proud to be one of those Golden Parents! Halleluah! Ooh, y'all not Shouting & Praising GOD Almighty or whom u worship yet? Also, Pic of TRUMAN'S, ROOSEVELT & ? (I found the name of boat) sorry, all three side by side at sea with that beautiful write up!

    Coach Sheila, you stay so happy you forgot about my grand-daughter & her husband (newlywed) were expecting Twins! We had just found out there were identical girls due the first week of December, but drs. thinking about putting her on bedrest! Those two cutie pie are kicking thier Mama butt already and they haven't even came out yet! lol She'told me, grandma my twins must be playing touch football, basketball and running a race inside my stomach! She also said the Drs. told her these are some big babies! My grand-daughter is 5"7 very slim wears a size 1 or 3, I told her she won't be slim sexy girl anymore after she have the twins. Our family's are big boned with meat! Bye-bye ladies! lmbo :)
  • Navymom2

    Thanks so much Sandra.  I was wondering about exactly that... :)  Everyone enjoy their weekend.

  • Coach Shelia

    Carrie! Wow twins! Double FUN!
  • Malen (navy mom of two sailors)

    I havent heard from my son for 2 weeks now. 

  • carrie

    Gm Malen......., were u aware they were during an underway out to sea. For security reason we ate allow to give dates or location due to the safety of the ship and our Sailots! Try private msg your son on fb or email him on the ship. Everything is fine I spoke with my sailor son via pbone, fb & private everyday. Please don't worry, say your prayers and get a good nite sleep. You will hear from him very soon. Let Go & Let GOD! Goodnite! Peace & Love
  • Malen (navy mom of two sailors)

    Carrie, he told me two weeks ago that they will be going to the sea for 2 weeks and there will be no signal then.  I am just missing him, he used to call everyday before they left :)  

  • carrie

    Navy Sister Malen....I forgot to welcome you to the group early, becuz I been, did & done it were you are at now has a new mom! I've been a Navy Mom for four yrs. now, but this TRUMAN Group has a very close bonded, caring & strong network of Mom's, Grandma's & Great-Great Grandma's here you will even want to meet. We are all Sisters from another Mother's!

    Two week in the Military is 15 days sweetie, so count the day your sailor left (don't post it on here) & you will have the return date, has long has nothing happen! Remember, he's at work Protecting our Country! He's has another FAM now (NAVY Brother's & Sister's from all over the World) :) who take's very good care of each other's. Our Kids are learning, growing-up & experiencing a new life! Also, they are having lots of fun trying to be GROWN-UP (parents not around to get in they business) lol

    So, communicate with us Mom's, find a hobby, take a class or just live your life so you won't have to worry about your Sailor son unnecessary. Remember, no news is good news! He's having a ball that's why he hasn't found time to call you, yes, they think about us and includes us in their prayers! :) Peace & Love

  • Sailorswife88

    Hello all!!
    Hope everyone is doing okay :) we found out in early June we are expecting our second baby, had our second ultrasound this morning and baby is measuring 9 weeks and 5 days. The whole family is very very excited :)
  • Carol Ann

    Sailorswife88: Congrats on your new bundle of joy to come! Babies are blessings! So happy for you!

  • Carol Ann

    Oh Carrie forgot to say thank you for your kind words about my son! he cannot believe I am still on this site and the FACEBOOK one too. I said you know how close you got to your shipmates? Well we have bonded too and I care about those ladies and what happens to them and their sailors. he said yeah, I think I understand that. He asked are you still allowed to be on those sites? I said as long as they say I can I will....

  • Catsmom

    Have to share, Crystal was promoted to CTT2 today! I am so Proud of her! He CO also gave her one of his coins, and told her they needed more like her in the Navy!

    Sailorswife88, Cngrats! How exciting! HUGS!

    Praying for the family who lost their Sailor last night. My heart is heavy for this tragity.
  • julie01

    This was my son's friend and he was to have him over to hang out today. Talked to his friend last night.  What a terrible tragedy. He also knows the other sailor. I am praying so tightly for all family and friends.  It has shook my son to the core. It has been since Christmas since I have noted comments but I read everyone's daily and live, love and laugh through each one's good times and bad.  I am so grateful for all of you.

  • jbird

    what happened??? I see these sentiments about a tragedy but don't know any details

  • too tall Joan

    Sailorswife88 congrats. Exciting times are ahead for you
    Carol Ann you have one handsome son. Sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders. Tell him to not worry about being afraid of letting cuss words slip, I'm a teachers aide in our high school and trust me most kids swear like sailors already so he will fit in.
    Cats mom woohoo crysta. I know how happy and proud you are. Made me smile to read your post

    Julie01 my daughter knew the one that passed also. It was her duty buddy or partner whatever the term is and they were to have duty together today. So sad and so unnecessary. My heart goes out to the families involved.
    And on a sad person note our family cat, Sylvester passed away today. He has been sick for a couple of months but today was he end for him
  • carrie

    Too Tall Joan.....I'm like Jbird, what happen! I keep calling & texting my Sailor Son! Im not getting a respond, Im praying he's sleeping or on Duty, even his Sailor friends not answering her cell or text! This is too scarey when a Mom dont know whats happening! Im on pins & needled! I'm sending Prayers up for all the families of ???Tragedy has happen to the Sailors involved and they Shipmates!

    Catmom, CONGRATS to Cystal & your Family! Peace & Love to all!
  • dragon7

  • too tall Joan

  • carrie

    Finally---- got 2 text (we fine!) @ 3 am this morning from my sailor and his sailor friend, everybody was asleep! They have to be at work early! They heard about Tragedy but, didn't think to check in with Parents, my sailor always tells me Mother nobody (ordinary people) think
    like you! I told him, I'm a Extraordinary person, I'm one of GOD chosen one, I have several Divine Gifts from GOD to do his work! So, boy just check-in with Ok or smiling face icon if u r able to get a signal wen something happen while in Military! We parents be worry about our kids, when something goes wrong!

    Too Tall Joan.... sorry for your lost, ppl pets are like a FAM member! Ima buy me a Parrekee Bird, so he/she can say: Carrie, don't worry! I love you Baby!!! Lol I needed that laugh, because so much troubles going on and I live thru 911 & DMV Sniper!

    I really keep getting this strange feeling, its
    just a matter of time and all Hell going break-out in the US! So, I'm praying for Divine Order and Divine Peace in this World for all in the name of Jesus

  • LindaD

    I'm in the middle of an anxiety attack and I need to TALK to someone. I got a voice message from my son's shop this morning but couldn't understand what he said. Instead of hitting the button to save it and listen to it again I delete it. I called the number back and left a message to call me again. Who do I call to find out what's going on?

  • Carol Ann

    Ladies: So sorry to hear and see the story about the tragedy. I told my son about it and he said that building is very high and the walls around the top--someone would not have just fallen-- he thinks they would have had to of been pushed over intentionally. He does not know who this is as there are no names mentioned in story and he hasn't spoken to anyone still with the Truman to find out if he personally knows these two or not. Carrie: so scary all these planes being shot down. Don't know what the heck is going on. Makes you afraid to fly cuz you never know...Too Tall: I have 2 cats myself and am so sorry to hear about yours. I have been through this with other pets and it hurts. I fell like my pets are my children and get so attached myself. My husband and children tease me about it and say how spoiled the current two are. Last night as a matter of fact I completely cracked up my son and my daughter when I was telling them about the one cat who was in the room and I spelled the word out so the cat wouldn't hear me say the word. They completely lost if laughing and teased me. My son mom do you think the cat can spell too!!?! I said no I just know that she knows what that word means and that is why I didn't say it. The two of them have really bonded together again since my son is back home again and love to gang up against me and tease me. I guess I am the butt of their jokes once again! That's o.k. makes my heart swell with happiness to see them pick up where they left off. CATSMOM: Congrats to Crystal! You have a right to be proud! Everyone:Love reading about you and your kids/husbands and what all is going on still with you all.
