A little about me:
Mother of five children with the last one graduating from high school this year. I consider myself a go getter and I have always pushed for what I thought my children deserved or earned. I am one that is not likely to back down. I don't like change very much and I am happy with my old car and warm home.
I am here to support my

Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?

Needed to learn more about it
The Navy offers opportunities that...
Oh hard question. I gave in, not me at all, however I am not happy where it is taking y child. Not happy with the job assignment at all. So I will say that what I have learned is the recruiter is just that , a recruiter. He can not do anything about the job assignments made by MEPS
Our Navy experience so far...
The Navy was not the right path for my loved one/me.

    We just got a phone call from our child who happens to be an inpatient at the VA hospital. Extreme muscle cramps/spasms and possible dehydration. I spoke with the Dr.and they are going to do a neurological work up. Oh my is all I can say. Anyone experienced anything like this. Should I fly out there ?

    I'm sorry to hear about your recruit. By the time you get there, your recruit may be dismissed and back in training. You have to do what you feel comfortable doing though.

    Welcome to Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones). I look forward to sharing this journey with you. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) for information on what to expect and to help you prepare for PIR. Start with OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) and Arrival and What Happens at the RTC and read 1 or 2 pages a day and then go back to them as you need the info. What is your recruit's rating (job/specialty) going to be? There are groups for most ratings and/or "A" Schools and knowing that will help you to better plan for PIR weekend. Take care and blessings to you and yours.
