Where would I buy a Navy mom shirt along with Navy sisters ?  It's been a week & have made a promise to my son everyday while he is in bc I go for a walk started last Tue the day he left.   The walk is to connect with him while he is working hard and I endure all weather conditions,lol.. but need to get the shirt to support my son, this week has taken a toll on his sisters with Thanksgiving next week along with finals. I ordered a meal to pick up at Kowalskis since I won't feel like…

Is there any rhyme or reason to when a ship has a mail call? My daughter is deployed and I haven't heard from her in several weeks but last time I got an email she had not recieved my package that I mailed 5 weeks prior. I can't imagine how difficult it is to get mail to a ship!  But I was wondering if there is some kind of rule of thumb?

I am a new Navy Aunt…. My niece is a SR (Ship 12 Div 010). This is just an idea if you have a sister or other loved one, or even your own child that is leaving for boot camp. Before my niece left for boot camp,  I had her a ~Navy Party~ (as my 5 year old son called it)…. With gifts and games and stuff. My sister was being very strong for her, but  her heart was heavy because of the idea of being separated…

My 12 year old daughter is having a tough time with the idea of her brother leaving... does anyone know of any great resources for kids... books, movies,  activities, words of wisdom?

I got my "Kid in a box" last night 11-12 I was not home when it came as we were at the hospital visiting my Grams in the ICU. Weired thing was I didn't cry or get sad I found comfort as he was part of the day (the best part). Justin has always been the one to keep me grounded, and last night I was shown that will never change. Now just waiting on the form letter so we can write him and the best part his PIR date!

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…

Well, PIR was 8/30....that seems like eons ago now..... any my Sailor is doing well in Nuke school.

He started his 2nd class this past Monday and seems to like it.

The life as a Navy Mom is one crazy rollercoaster, and I've never been one to…

  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,…

Processing Week…

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.
