My sailor is still in A-school so when i asked him about moving, he said either he would be stationed on a base or he would be stationed on a ship and i would go to a port, or somthing like that, so when i talked to him last night he said he needed to make some things clear, that he has told me but he wasnt sure that i didnt understand, and one of those things he said was he could deploy after he is done with A-school , that that is wat he meant when he said he could be stationed on a ship.…

I got my son box today with his things in it, I though his address will be the box I got so sad again. I was looking forward to get the address with his box. Do anyone know when will I get his address?

I got a call from my son for the same thing 3 hours ago.  He told his recruiter the truth about EVERYTHING and she told him to put NO on everything...filling it out one question at a time with her. Then she instructed him to say NO when asked at his last chance to come clean.  None of that felt right to him, but the recruiter pushed him and his friends to all do the same thing so they wouldn't be held back for what she said would be a ridiculous length of time.  SIGH...  This is…

I GOT MY LETTER!!!!! YAY!!

Things are getting a little better for me but still can't help but wonder is he okay.... Do anyone know if we can send magazines and books to read?

rom her last call, she told me she will write me in three weeks, now my question is in what other way I can find out that she is doing okay and when exact day she will graduates in January? Should I expect that answer when she writes me in her first letter??

Anyone can…

  just got my Son in a box.... can't stop taking everything out & putting back in, crazy I know... not sure if I will keep the box or not. Wondering if he has a schedule now & if all the medical & dental have gone through for everyone, if so Now the HARD part is on. I will probably stare at this box all weekend & then decide what to do. Glad I was home /off work to get it.  I'm sure his sisters will say oh gross mom get that stuff out of here,lol..

Another week has gone by without receiving the "letter" so sought after. It's rather amazing that I've almost went through 2 books of stamps. I have taken the advice of others and began printing out one page that contains the a week in review of the news, a comic or two and a picture of something from home, be it our dog tillie so he can see how big she is growing,…

Well the family and I are here at the Ramada in Waukegan and will be going to the meet and greet with the other families soon. On the way here we met a few familes at rest stops that were headed this way as well lol. One more day, just one more day and I get to see him. I am so proud of my son!! He is worried we will not be able to find him but we have reassured him that it will not be a problem.

Woke up this morning with my son on my mind so heavy wondering what  he is doing and did  he eat breakfast. He is really not a breakfast eater he like to eat at noon time. I found myself crying again am trying to think postive, am trying to be happy for him but I can't stop wondering if he is okay or not. Am writing letters ready to put them in the mail, wondering when am get the address to send them to him. This is nerve wrecking

  Thinking of my son this morning ..waited with my girls at the bus stop & went for a morning brisk walk. Not that my son would have been up but just thinking of him. Wondering what bc schedule is , haven't got a clue when sailor in a box will be coming. I looked on face- book on the Navy Great Lakes boot camp this very helpful .  Pictures and links. Trying to keep busy , off today & tomorrow doing laundry cleaning etc. making a grochery list & realized my bill is going down…

I've done two already, this is yet one more ... bumping it up for the holiday.



I was in C school, down at Fort Gordon, near Augusta, Georgia. Very strange being in the small Navy Det on an Army base! We were a tight bunch of sailors, even liked the sailors we didn't like. Which makes no sense, but you have to have been there to get that.



One of the gals, a good friend of mine in the same class, was a Georgia native. Her mom and dad had a farm between Augusta and…

Today was okay I tried to stay busy and not think about it to much. But I still found myself talking about him and wondering if he is ok. This is the first time my son have been away from me I belive he is okay I think it's me having a hard time dealing with him been gone. I just can't stop thinking about him ready to get a letter so I can write him got so much to tell him. 

I was stationed in Yokosuka, Japan at the Communications Station. Many of us in the ET shop were very good friends, along with some of the radiomen from tech control and even one of the young ensigns. Yes, she wasn't supposed to "fraternize" with us enlisted pukes, but hey, young men and women like to hang out with each other!



Most of the married sailors either had tiny Japanese apartments or were flying home for Turkey Day, so inviting us all was a problem. We all wanted to be…
