Thanks for the invite. Just come accross with the Web page so I am not sure where everithing is. I search for Indiana to find the group, but there were a lot of things that come up. Wich one is your group. I would love to come to one of the dinners.
My son just went to OCS in Newport on the 28th of August and we have not yet gotten any letters. I also joined the face book for this class and hopefully I will get some news from the other parents
Thanks for the invite I am certainly going to try to come to the next dinner in Sept at Red Lobster. This is all so new for me I haven't had much time to really research this web site but I am going to. My son just signed a contract to be a Navy Diver so I am trying to catch up to all the new beginnings. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and getting some support.
He spent 3 years in Japan part of the time aboard the Kitty Hawk and the rest of the time on the George Washington. He has been back in Indiana now for 2 years and is serving as a recruiter. Soon he will have his own station and I am very proud.
Thanks Pat. I'm excited for Navy week. My son is participating in some of the activities that are going on. I'm so proud of him. I also have another son who will be leaving for Boot Camp in Nov.
Hello. This is alex's mom. My name is tina and I would love to join you at the fair. Just tell me when navy week is and where will you be. How do I join the Indiana mom's? I'm so thankful for the other moms out there. Do you ever get used to them not being around? everything makes me want to cry. This is most definately the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I also know it's the right decision for him and his future. I am so proud of him. He graduates friday aug 12th and his div got alll the flags and so far even the hall of fame. I can't wait to see him.
Thank you, I just came across this site today. My son, Garrett leaves for Indianapolis next Wednesday (Aug.10) then goes on to Boot Camp on Thursday at Great Lakes. I have no idea of what to expect. I'm so full of emotion right now with all of the changes that I know will take place. I know that Garrett has made the right decisions for him and I am so proud of him, but I'm going to miss him so much.
Where do I find the Indiana site? I'm very new to this. My son is a boot camp now and his grad date is 9-1. Thanks for any help. This navy for moms site is so wonderful.
Pat, are you coming to the breakfast? It is set as a firm date? Let me know so I can put you down. Private message me and if you are coming I will private message you all the details and I need your name, and where you are from and your son or daughters name, rank and duty station and any question you want to submit ahead of time for the Admiral to get the most updated info for us.
