Thanks for the welcome. Hope to figure out navigation of the site for more use. My son is ship 03, div 338, PIR on 10/12/12. Looking forward to seeing the sights when we fly in. Any suggestions of places to see would be greatly appreciated, as we have never been to Chicago area. L
Thanks for showing your support during this very difficult time for me and I really enjoy Navy for Moms and I am so happy for all the Moms that have been where I am now and they have been so helpful and since I have so many questions. I really appreciate the Moms that made this web site possible and I can't thank you enough! Thanks for suggestions on the sites that I need to refer to and if you have any advice for a Newbie with two going in please let me know. Maybe when my son leaves in December I'll be a lot more informed thanks to Navy For Moms!
Thanks for the welcome. My son arrived at boot camp on September 11th. I just found out that the last 15 second call is scripted. I can see this site is very supportive and thats what I need right now. Thanks again for the warm welcome.
Thank you for the helpful info and the reassurances.
