I'm sorry I don't get on here as much as I probably should. My daughter called about 3 wks after too. We have 22 days left (:
Thank You so much for your beautiful comments :) I been a little busy working ten hrs daily and don't have much time to visit the page. I hope everybody it's doing ok, tell me about your girl??? phone calls etc. Have a great afternoon.
Sure was nice to meet you on Saturday and look forward to next time.
I stumbled on a post of yours that did not appear to be answered. Since I am not a member of that group, I will answe here. SN PACT (not FACT) is Seaman (SN)Professional Apprenticeship Career Track (PACT), so yes, she is undesignated. http://www.cnrc.navy.mil/Graphic-Elements/Rating-Factsheets/SN-Professional-Apprenticeship-Career-Track.pdf may help.
She is on Ship 09, Div 266. Have you heard from her yet?

Hi there...thanks for sending me the friend request. Haven't figured out how to do too much on this website yet. I saw one of your posts the other day that your daughter was leaving the same day as mine. Can't believe its here already...seemed so far away when she first started DEP.
Chinadoll,
Wow - can't believe the time is here now!!! I'm sure you feel like it was yesterday that she went off to MEPS. I'm in a similar boat with you - my daughter, Jenn is reporting to OCS in two weeks now!!! When she was accepted I felt like we had a lllooooonnnnngggg time before she'd be leaving but now - - - here it is!! I'm going through that sadness also!! Come talk to us on the Daughters 2 group - - - I know the ladies will help you get through these long weeks of no communication from your girl!!!
Hi Marissa, I really enjoyed reading your profile & loved all the pics. Coming from California explains what appears to be a "49er"Jersey on your husband! We raised our family up in South Jersey, so we are all "Philly" fans. Our oldest son is based out in San Diego aboard the USS San Francisco sub. He is a Nuke,(nuclear engineer tech.) Please tell your daughter who is leaving next week, we will keep her in our prayers for a smooth transition, & help "You" get through this!!!
China,
Thank you for your kind words. Funny about the Mustang - - when I was shopping for my car back in '02, it was a toss-up between the Sebring, the Mustang, and a Mitsubishi Spyder - all convertibles. Since I had twin girls I wanted one with the most room in the back seat and that's how I ended up with the Sebring!!! But my son owns a Mustang and loves it!! My girls are doing well - - the one who enlisted right out of high school is now out!! Looking for a civilian job now - still in WA tho :( but that is where her husband is still stationed. Her sister is finishing her last year of college and then heads off to OCS to become an officer. She is working on getting her private pilot's license and keep up with all her classes. She is somewhat of an overachiever!!!!
