Hi Tiffany, thank you for the big welcome! My daughter will be leaving soon for pilot training in Pensacola. She went through the new NROTC program here at Arizona State Univ. Not sure what to expect yet...moving lock stock and barrel. Her Dad and I are so proud of her accomplishments, and very excited about her new adventures and responsibility. I am sure I will be asking questions...Look forward to moving around the website. Cindy
Can you tell me why on the comments Wall on Blogs why there are x's on my last three comments in top right hand corners. Did I break a rule or did some wrong. thanks
Thank you. I hope to find some answers (and support) as my son continues his exploration in joining the Navy! He hasn't enlisted yet. He's taking the ASVAB next week.
Hi guys, I am new to the group too. I have been visiting the website for a few weeks and finally figured out how to join. My son has been gone 3 weeks and it feels like 3 year. We have been lucky enough to get a couple of letters .
Nice website- looks pretty busy though and I feel somewhat intimidated but I will take my time going through all the different facets that are offered here. Just want to say proud of my son being a sailor.
Hello! My name is Jamie and my son currently on board the USS Harry S Truman-does anyone know how long before we will hear from them once they board? It as only been a week but still a Hey mom I am fine would be great-
hello Tiffany my name is Jade and yes I am a motherof two, but im actually the one thinking about joining the navy. i just wanted t get any advie I could
Hi Tiffany, I look forward to the friendship although my son hasn't enlisted yet, but he on his way. He's a junior in high school so he'll be sworn in this summer. Pray for me he's my only son and he's only been away from me no more that 2 weeks at a time. He's not a mama's boy or anything but that's my baby.
Thank you so much for adding me to your page. We live in Compton CA and my son is getting picked up today. We don't even know a time yet. So we are all anxious because we have no idea what to expect.
Hello Tiffany, I am truly honored to be a part of a wonderful community of supporters. I really love this site and I'm on here everyday since I became a member. There is a lot of great information that helps me as I journey through this new experience with my future sailor. It's not easy letting go but EVERYTHING offered on this site helps to feed and strengthen my soul as I slowly let my sailor go so that he can fly. I am proud of my sailor and I LuvMyBlues.
