Recruit Man - Ronny

Welcome to NavyforMoms.com. My name is Ronny and my son has been in the Navy since February of 2012. He is currently stationed in San Diego with a Helicopter Squadron. He is an Aviation Structural Mechanic. I hope you find all the info you are looking for here, and if you have any questions feel free to ask. My son is 3rd Generation Navy, so I do know a little about the Navy..:)

If you have a new Sailor who is in Boot Camp, or leaving soon, visit CallsforRecruits.org and I will send you FREE Pre-Paid Phone cards for your SR to use while they are in boot camp. I started that program when my son left for Boot Camp :)

Welcome Aboard and I wish your Sailor Fair Winds and Following Seas.

Jackie,

Have a wonderful birthday celebration for Britt! Congratulations she is making some pretty great choices before her 18th birthday. You should be very proud of her and this big decision. My sons birthday will be when he is away as well but probably will fall just around the graduation from BC. Tyler will turn 21 ugh. As you can see boys do mature a little slower. Where will Britt be going to A school? My son will be in Pensacola. Have a great time tonight. Nancy

Glad you had a great party I am sure it was bittersweet as well.
Well it is coming so quickly now I think I am getting waves of panic every once in awhile.I went for a walk today and a song came on that triggered it out of no where.
Thank you for keeping my son in your prayers as well. I will surely do the same for Britt. I have learned on this site about burning or lighting a blue candle for them when they leave for BC. Or have important days etc. I did get a few blue candles as well as the battery ones to light. They were hard to find. I will be sure to light one for Britt as well when they leave for BC.
So my son is off again with friends tonight I guess its easing me into him being away. Almost every night he has been out when all I want to do is see him knowing time is slipping away. Enjoy these last days! Nancy

I think you click on the persons name say on the comment and the go to their page it should say friend request or invite. I think that's it some of this is confusing lol! So glad you got her box! Was it what you expected? I told my son to secretly leave a note in a pocket!
