Hello!! I know this is terribly late but I want to welcome you to Navy4Moms and to the Moms of Daughters 2 group!! I haven't been as active lately as there have been several things going on with my family this fall and winter. But I see you have made some contacts on the website and I am grateful for that. I loved reading your profile as I am also a Navy vet! I was stationed in San Diego and for awhile lived in Chula Vista. I love San Diego and it will always hold a fondness in my heart. I wasn't able to advance as much as our women sailors can today. I served during a time when women were not allowed to serve on ships and it was very difficult to advance if you were in a seaduty rating with no opportunity to go to sea!!! However my middle son was a chief and just recently commissioned as a chief warrant officer 2. My oldest daughter is a LT and recently transferred from NFO to Aerospace Experimental Psychology. Her twin sister is also a Navy vet as is my husband. We are a Navy Family!!!
If I can help you in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out!!
Thanks Bootcamp0924! My girl is doing well. Looking forward to coming home for Christmas as she's on hold and won't start A school until January. How about yours?
