    Welcome!!!  Getting used to Navy life is tough on us moms.  You've come to the right place.  Best place in the world for info, to brag, to vent, to whatever.  The moms/wives/girlfriends/fiancees are great and if they don't have the answer, somebody will jump in and find out!

    Hi,

     

    First of all welcome to the Navy World. Our daughter graduated from HS. last June and was in BC in July had her PIR in 9/10 graduated from A-School in February and was on hold until last nite. She is comming home on Tuesday for ten days and then gets deployed to Guam. Honestly its been a rough ride for me as a mother there is not much communicatiuon with school,studying,ship duties and liberty not much left for us lol. All in all she is a fantastic person and she chose this life path. On the brighter side we get to save up and visit her.Emily is a bright young lady when she graduated fromA school she was awarded DMG and jumped to pay raise to E3 and her next command will be a Petty Officer unlike her younger sister a junior in high school and has no clue gotta love.

     

     

     

    PS. anytime you need to vent,cry or just laugh please drop a couple of lines

    Hello!  Glad to "meet" you!  I am excited to meet someone from C'dale on this site, especially since your daughter graduated bootcamp the same day as my son!!  Hope she likes Gulfport, what is she going to school for?  My son and I spent weekend before last in Biloxi, so we were very close to her.  My son just has a few days left in Meridian, then hopefully will come home before he heads west to board the USS John C Stennis.
