I hope all of you Moms had a nice Thanksgiving and especially for our sailors. I got to spend thanksgiving with my oldest son and his family and my officer daughter Jennifer!! We had a pleasant weekend. Unfortunately last weekend Jennifer's work life got turned upside down. The shooting at Pensacola happened in her building where she teaches Aviation Safety. It is also where she did all her flight training when she went to P'cola after commissioning. Spent several years there. Now her command is trying to figure out where they can go to do their jobs as no one is going back to that building - probably never. Thank God she wasn't there that morning when she got the alert to stay away!!! Please keep her in your prayers as she continues to process all that is going on now. Hubby and I are heading to Pensacola and will be spending Christmas and New Years with her. I'll be happy when I can give her momma hugs again!!!!
What is everyone else doing for the Christmas season???
NavyCorpsmanSGMom - you mentioned your daughter was in division 904. The 12/20/19 PIR group is up now. Here's the link:
Thesuperm72, your daughter will carry the flag in all graduation ceremonies including her own PIR.
Ah, I see we have another Nuke mom on this page. The superm my daughter is a Nuke also.
ShawnMom, my girl is in a 900 division. Saw her tonight for the 1st time holding her flag! Her PIR is 11/8. In her own PIR, does she perform flags? Or does she come in with her division like all the other divisions? I saw she drew you a pic of where she was sitting, so I'm confused about how this works. Love the stalking the bathroom! I laughed at that one! :)
Have fun Oleander!!! Can't wait to see you again!!!
Enjoy your visit with your family Oleander. Give that little guy lots of hugs & kisses ;-D
Hi everyone!
Sounds good Anna! I'm so looking forward to seeing you!
Today is my grandson's 1st bday and I'm in NJ celebrating with the whole family!
You Moms are hilarious!!!! I never had N4Ms when my daughter went to bootcamp so some of the things I learn on here I never knew about back in 08!!!!! I am so glad you ladies got to see your girls!!!
Oleander,
I will give you all date as soon as hubby and I get to South Carolina in a few days and lay out the plans for March and April!!!
