My daughter just left for bootcamp on Aug 18th, 2015.  So proud of her.  I cant stop thinking about what she is doing every minute of the day.  Is she OK?  My biggest fear are her emotions.  She is physicall strong and emotionally strong however this is life changing event and I worry about her.  I just want to make sure that she is OK? 

Any advise for mommies that worry about there little girl?  LOL

Thanks

I am one happy mom, we received his box today and his form letter yesterday.  First letter is in the mail.  I kept it to only 2 pages..lol  I can't wait to hear from him.  Getting the box was emotional as your child's clothes he had on come home but he didn't, such a weird feeling.  We could not be more proud of son. I did hear something from some Facebook friends today in regards to the letters to our SR's and if anyone can chime in that would be great.  I was advised by a couple of prior…

My son is being pinned as chief and is stationed 14 hours away. I am very proud of him and I understand this is a milestone in his career. However it is on a Wednesday afternoon and it would be very difficult for me to be there. How necessary is it for me to be at this event? If it is necessary what should I wear? Thank you

Missing my son.  He left 3 weeks ago.  We did get a short letter. Does anyone know about the phone calls? When do they come? Do they let us know so we can be waiting by the phone?

For anyone that wants to join our support groups on Facebook...here is the name of the page - PIR 11/16/12 & 10/16/15 US Navy. I started this group when my oldest went to the Navy and now it is time to get it going again.

Sailing hugs to each of you,

My SR called today very upset and crying. She was doing so well in boot camp, then she fractured her ankle got send to RCU, passed her medical PFA, reinjured herself as a result of ankle injury (now, it's her knee) got put on light duty and is so worried she won't graduate and be sent.to SEPS. She has been in BC since April, 7, 2015.She says she has 180 days to complete but she has used up much of her time. I'm confused, I don't know what's going on. People try to help but I get conflicting…

I missed a call from my nephew Connor.  He and my niece are both in Great Lakes.

Bless all you Navy parents

Here's to our kids, whether they are our…

My son Tyler left this past Tuesday (8/11/15) for boot camp, and I am trying to adjust.  Being in the United States Navy is something he has wanted since he was 7 years old and I have always supported his goal and to see it start to unfold for him is amazing.  I am nervous for him, sad he is gone and excited at the same time.  The mix of emotions has me all over the place.. lol  As I am sure others feel the same way.  We are new at the military life and I am starting to realize I have a lot…

first week as a official navy seaman is over. so glad I can talk to him at any time (least txt any time n wait on response). last time he face timed course this momma here took the chance n took screen shots, got to see his room n how he is sleeping (up or down on bunk). now time to concentrate on the big move, next week is our final week here after 5 long years.

My son just left Monday for boot camp.  It is so hard I miss him so bad.  Its the unknown that is so hard.  You go from talking to him everyday to not talking to him at all.  I hope some of the moms on this website can help me understand what is going on at boot camp.  I knew some stuff my son was in ROTC for 4 years in high school.  Where is the web site that shows the pictures at boot camp?  I know I might not see him but I still would like to see the pictures.  I really appreciate any…

I actually had forgotten that I wrote this little message.  Once I remembered, gave it a read, I decided to add another.  We have been both pleased, and a little frustrated with the navy over the last few months.

First, as mentioned in my earlier post, he took the promotion test.  The day before test results were made public, while standing in role call, he, and 6 of his coworkers were called out of formation.  Shocked, thinking he was in some sort of trouble, he moved to the front of…

Well... Gen left today for Basic Training today and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. I cried all day and I am at this moment crying.  But, I know this is a good shift in her life and I am so proud of her.  I have been told that day by day it gets better, is this true ??? Can anyone tell me when I will know about her Graduation Date??

Does anyone have information on the USS Howard that's stationed in San Diego?  Is it in port or deployed?

I got the form letter on Saturday 8/8.  PIR date is 9/25. I just reserved a room today at the Navy Lodge.   I called another hotel first who was not at helpful and did event know what I was talking about the Navy graduation. She asked if this has something to do with the military.   I then called the Navy Lodge. They were courteous and excited like I was to celebrate this event with my son. I even called 3 times and spoke with the same person and she was still pleasant,

Now I am just…
