SHIP 12 DIV 238
Hello, does anyone have a love one or spouse on Ship 12 Div 238. My husband is on there. He left June 11th 2012. It was and still is hard. I miss him so much. I received the Form Letter today about graduation (August 03, 2012). He and I have never been apart from each other. He's a tough guy though and I know he will be fine. I have so much faith and him. The week he left I got his address from the recruiter. Everything was right except on the letter I received from him it had Recruit Training Command. I left that out and instead of putting Sailor Pride, She told me Sailor Drive, so i'm just hoping that they still deliver it to him. Our anniversary was the 17th so I sent him a card as well as a Fathers day card.

hey bvealellis. happy anniversary to you. hope you hear from your husband soon. i wonder how they are all doing? what made your husband decide to go in? my daughter, alex, is 19 years old. has 4 years of college under her belt, but just not kind of disgruntled with school and such. i think this is going to be so great for her! she is to be corpsmen, and will be going to school in san antonio.

My husband has 4 years of college also, hard to find a good job, but This will us much more security and structure. He wanted to go so I had to support. I think he made a great decision. After this journey he plans on finishing chiropractor school because his dad wants him to take over his business. I really think this move will benefit us in the future. I just completed nursing school and 3 months prior to leaving we found out we are having a baby! Our son passed away in 09 two weeks before his 3rd birthday due to heart related issues but to make a long story short this is our miracle baby we were told that getting pregnant again may require in-vitro but Gid answers prayers and we didn't need to.

sorry. this site makes my head spin and i didn't answer your response. it sounds like your husband has made a good decision. i hope your baby and you are doing well. i am sorry to hear of your son. i can only imagine how hard that is. we are currently adopting an 8 year old boy from china. there was a family that just brought home a 7 year old girl from the same orphanage with severe heart issues. she passed away about a week ago, not more than a week or so after they brought her home. than, come to find out, this same family had adopted a boy from korea with the same special needs that passes away after they had had him for about 3 years. my 18 year old son has autism, so we have been down a different road of working to recover him, make for him to have a normal life. we also have a 9 year old daughter, adopted from china in 2008. she has aniridia, (she does not have irises in her eyes). life is life....hope you find out why your husband switched ship/divisions.
