Well, after two trips home; after being asked to be ready to head to Kansas City, Greg finally got to go to MEPs. He signed his APACT and will begin DEP. His BC date is 15 Feb 2012. This will be our second family member in the Navy! We get to meet with the recruiter on Wednesday so he can give us a run down of what to expect from here on out.
My baby - is going to be gone and doing his thing. I think I will need a stronger support group!

I thought for sure that I would get my letter today. But I didn't... and instead I got an unexpected phone call.
I got to hear from my husband. He called to tell me that he needed a form of I.D. sent asap. He couldn’t say much and before I could fully grasp who I was talking to, he had to go...and that was it. It all feels so surreal. ..I keep starring at the phone hoping he'll call again.
I know that 'no news is good news', but not knowing anything is so miserable...Please…

My son left today for bootcamp. What can I say? I feel like there is something missing. He is not here to talk to or even just set and watch tv with. I know that everyone goes through this when their son or daughter leaves, but you don't know what it is like until you have been through it. Although I know that it will get easier, it feels like it never will.
I miss my son and I want hime to come home, but that is being selfish. He is doing what he wants to do and what he has…

My son got his wings in May 2011 in Pensacola. I was at a loss as to what gift to give an officer who just got his wings. I am glad that I found this site because the gift ideas were quite helpful, especially the winging set from Larry Cleveringa. The beautiful cherry framed set includes follow on aircraft, pictures of 2 other aircraft they have flown, 1 set pilot wings, and custom engraving (information about your pilot).The craftsmenship and care put into this set is evident when you see…

So I'm considering this as Day 1 of my boyfriend's boot camp adventure, because the last 2 days have been travel days and he's been able to call me every chance he got.
I've been through A LOT in my life and I think today is by far the hardest. It's the first day I actually don't get to hear his voice or even get a stupid text message from him. I can't even tell you how many times I've picked up my phone to text him, remembering just in time that by the time he can…

Aloha!
Received a letter from my daughter informing us that is is okay (thank you Jesus!) She informed us with her PIR date along with her ship/division# However, I still have not received the official letter. Should I be concerned? Would like to make travel arrangements but I read somewhere to wait.
Anxiously waiting for the Office Letter!
