A little about me:
My son left 8/18 for quarantine now a precursor to actual boot camp. He got to Day 1 Training but was put back in quarantine a second time for cold symptoms. He now has PIR of Oct 29! He’s my one & only and I’m so very proud of him but he grew up way too fast. I know the next few months are going to be so hard - I’m grateful to have found this group❤️ I am welcoming of any advice, support and/or encouragement.

Update: My son graduated BC (2020) & attended A school in GL. He visited for Xmas and now he’s stationed in SD but deployed on USS Russell. Hang in there new moms...I swear to you it does get easier.
I am here to support my

    Hi Kristel,

    This is my 120 playlist. It is close to "natural heartbeat". I sometimes add a song that ends up being "wrong", but I try to fix is as soon as possible. I think it will be about two more weeks until I can "test" the speeds of anything I added. I am *almost* starting to miss my elliptical .... maybe a few more days/weeks/months/years!

    If you find anything out of speed, let me know .... I am constantly adding/subtracting/moving songs. Saves me from having to work out :).

    Good Morning Kristel2400 - I saw your request in the main room chat last night but it was late by the time I saw it and I needed to get to bed. 

    I wanted to share about a new group Beyond BC - Navy For Moms (ning.com) that I started a couple months ago. It is a place to just hang out and chat with other moms from BC or to keep up with your friends. Feel free to join. I don't know that there are other moms from USS Russell but you can ask questions about deployment and things. 

    Are you on your son's ombudsman list to receive notifications?

    I believe we had a new mom just recently ask about the PACT Moms group. Even if others aren't active on there, if you post comments and just do your best to reach out to someone that might be new, you can spark a renewal in that group, even if it is just for one other mom. This site is only as active as we make it and we all have a place to make a difference. 

    Glad to have you back and checking in.
