I remember those days...have your tissue box ready for your 'sailor in a box' when it arrives.

Write letters to her, but don't send a lot of stuff and no food to boot camp.

My son is a Nuke machinist mate on a sub in the Pacific, finishing up his 5th year in the Navy.  What is your daughter's rate going to be?

You will want to check out the boot camp groups and watch for a group for her PIR date, also.  PIR is grad from boot camp...very moving ceremony that you will not want to miss!

Hi "rnindiana," and welcome to Indiana Moms! I'm the administrator for the group, so if you have any questions, please ask. My son is a Nuke MM serving on the submarine ALABAMA, based out of Bangor, WA. He's been in for 4 years.

If you're near Indy (or willling to drive), there's a monthly informal dinner in Avon (on the west side) which meets on third Mondays. Click June 20 on the Events calendar (right-hand column) for those details. From time to time, we also have regional gatherings in various parts of the state. In fact, this year is the first NAVY WEEK celebration during the Indiana State Fair, Aug 13-22 at the fairgrounds in Indy. Please send me your email address if you'd like to be included!

Jump in with any questions or comments you may have. I think you'll find we're a nice bunch of folks and always willing to lend an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. Hugs! k.
