Hello! 

My daughter is shipping out next week, on the 26th. I'm already a mess of emotions lol. Any tips on what she can/cannot take to BC? Can they bring their own brushes/hair/hygiene products?

Also, if anyone has any info on how quarantine is working. From reading through looks like there are a couple of you whose girls left recently.

Thank you! Happy to be here!

Happy belated Birthday Anna!!!! I hope you had a wonderful day and have a very happy year! XOXO

Congratulations B'sNukeMom! Happy times!

We're in San Diego visiting our sailor daughter - she still doesn't have a date to leave the ship but it's coming and we didn't want to miss an opportunity for a hug before she's 3,000 miles away!

Hope everyone is safe and well.

Happy belated birthday Anna. I for one stopped acknowledging birthdays years ago.

B’sNukeMom; congratulations to the couple.

No leave for my Sailor girl. Guess we are all going through missing physical hugs from them. Restrictions flying into Oahu is delaying our visit to her. Everyone do your part and social distance. I have family members that decided to visit churches with hugs and hand shakes and now they are positive for Covid. 84 year old aunt is in the hospital. When hubby and I go to church we social distance. It is that simple. I strongly dislike wearing a mask. But I wear it to protect and respect others. That is my rant. Missing my girl and want this stuff to get controlled.

Happy Belated Birthday Anna!  I hope it was a good one ;-D

We're in MI right now - B&C are getting married tomorrow. Can't wait!

Ladies, I fear I was remiss in not acknowledging Anna's birthday last week.  Please help me wish a Happy Belated Birthday to our fearless leader!  

Sorry Anna :(

LadyBluefire - sorry don't know what C School is. lol  That's awesome that your daughter is #2. Wow 0.1% is nothing. I'm sure if she has vowed to pass him she well. So is she in A School until January?

Comment by LadyBluefire on July 10, 2020 at 5:56pm

Kaitlynsmom - she has been there since April. She is going to go to C school as well...right now she is #2 in her class. #1 is an Army kid so she has vowed to pass him though their GPA difference is like 0.1% lol. So Close!

Comment by Kaitlynsmom on July 10, 2020 at 5:50pm

LadyBluefire - oops CTR. How long has your daughter been in Pensacola?

Comment by deniseg on July 10, 2020 at 8:59am

Good Morning and Happy Friday!  We made it through another week!

Oleander - Yes, omg, I was trying so hard not to cry during our call because I was afraid it would make her start crying again! Lol!

Gigi - I guess the phone reception is unpredictable.  That I"m a sailor call must have been terrific!  I can't wait for mine. 

Anti M- Good to know that the Navy dentists are so experienced and trustworthy.  

LadyBluefire - Ah, technology!  A blessing and a curse lol!  Thanks the call made my week!

Partyofseven - Yes, she is emotional to begin with, so I'm not surprised.  I also got a letter yesterday from her and she was in a very bad mood.  I'm glad she had me to vent to.  That's what moms are for! Lol. I wanted to get her wisdom teeth taken out beforehand, but then COVID struck. Ugh.
