Also please be with the Sailors and families at this time as the face uncertain times ahead. Amen. 

Good Morning All, 

It has been a crazy few months, with my son and his navy career. After a couple of setbacks, he graduated from A School today and heads out to his new adventure. I am so proud of him, he never let the setbacks get him down. He did get frustrated here and there but that was to be expected especially when no one was telling him…

Hello all hope you all are having a wonderful day. Hope everyone's SR and or Sailor is doing great. 

We heard from son this week and he got Culinary Specialist for his new rate, and soon he will headed out for this new adventure.

Hello All, 

It has been amazing to have our sailor home for Christmas. Though I would catch myself being sad here and there because I kept thinking to myself. This may be our last Christmas together for awhile. As most of your know, my husband and I were in the Navy. So, we do get it but it just hit me that after tomorrow. When he goes back to A school that we will not know the next time we will see him, but that is…

Hope everyone , has a wonderful Christmas. 

My son facebook messaged us to tell us that he was being rerated as he had failed his test again. All he wanted to be was a corpsman. He was getting really good grades on the labs but it was the test. This was something that I was worried about when he said he wanted to be a corpsman because I was worried that the test would trip him up.  My son, has never been a very good test taker. He over complicates them is the best way to put it. 

One of his instructors said that they learn two…

 We are in Week 5 right now of boot camp. I haven't really posted in the blogs since my first one after he left for bootcamp.  So it has been a few weeks...lol...in those weeks, we have received our first letters, which were hard because he was struggling and he was so tired and homesick. To the first phone call, where we were able to talk to him for 20 whole minutes. He sounded so good..."Hi Ma'am its me James" brought tears to my eyes. He sounded so grown up and all I could picture is my…

Good Morning All, 

It has been a whirl wind the last few days. With my son shipping out on tuesday and then trying to come back to our "normal" lives without him. We are all trying to keep busy, which with two other children is not hard. My daughter starts her senior year this year and that is craziness is a nutshell.  My middle son (it is the oldest who join the navy) is getting ready to start college at the local junior college and then there is the normal business of…
