Son leaving 4/9
Hi Navy Moms, I am looking for Moms that have children leaving on 4/9 for BC in Great Lakes. Some days are better then others. Sometimes I think well I have two more months and then I realize that he will be leaving for five years.

Hi Tina,
My son will be leaving on 4/9 from Dallas to BC in Great Lakes. I hear ya girl! I'm like a sponge, trying to learn all I can about this new adventure that he's going to. The more I know, the better I feel. I'm excited, anxious, proud, and more all rolled up in one. I live in another city than him, so I'm blowing up his email and FB msg with all the info that I'm finding. He thinks I'm nuts!! ......... Brandi

Hey Brandi, I am so excited you commented. My daughter is in the Army and right now she is in San Antonio, i guess that isn't too far from you. Any way about our sailors to be, I guess we will gather more moms as we
get closer to departure. What is his MOS after BC?
-
-
I'm actually in San Angelo, which is about 4 hours from San Antonio. I'm sending healthy thoughts to daughter in San Antonio. I'm still learning all the lingo. What is MOS? His job?
-
-
Yes, his job. I am trying to learn two languages Army and Navy. And do I catch it when I use the wrong words. It is like which hat do I wear my Army or Navy, it depends on which child is home.
-
-
Ha, good...then, I'm learning the lingo correctly too. Sit down for this one....he'll be a Damage Controlman.
I'm sure you know what my daily prayers will consist of, huh?!!! What will your son do?
-
-
Boy, let me see, i know it is a sub and i know it is computers but i don't know much more then that
-
-
Denise, i don't know how to do any of this

MOS is Army, in Navy-ese that is NEC.

Hey Anti M, my daughter is in the army and my son just signed up for the Navy. I know the two branches have two languages but I am in the process of learning them both, thanks for sharing.
