Going to see my sailor at the end of this week. We will only have 2 nights and a day, but that's okay! I have Easter treats for him and I made him a blanket with blueberry yarn (he is disappointed he does not get to wear blueberries), after reading on here blankets are hard to come by.

3B'smom - what a fantastic project. Those handmade cards will bring warm, happy smiles to many sailors!  Thanks so much for sharing.

Enjoy your Palm Sunday everyone!  I am thankful for all of you and the amazing support and information here!  This Navy journey is every bit a rollercoaster as described by the seasoned Mom's - and to think I'm only in the beginning of the ride.  So appreciative of this group!

Chipmunk, thank you for your words of encouragement. This journey is a difficult process. Any type of communication with them is like gold. Have a good Sunday.

The Hammer - so glad you were able to have the day with your son at the airport. That is a great idea to send him with a list of things he might need and a NEX gift card!!  There are so many different scenarios of traveling from GL to GC which is why it is hard to give exact information. My son's plane left at 6:30 AM and they were landed and waiting in Charleston for transport to GC before we even had made our way out of the suburbs of Chicago. We also checked out of our motel early to be with him and then drive south home. That worked best for us and he was shopping with his division mates Sat afternoon. You live nearby GL, and being able to spend all day with your son having a late flight was a wonderful time for you. He will sleep well and have time to shop today at the NEX. Have a restful day today.

Rebecca J - I haven't had a chance to share BNHs with you. I know that sub deployment is hard on both our sailors and their families. It hit me last night when I was texting with my son, had been on the phone with him in the morning and also had email from him. This will be all different in another year when he is finished with school and out on the fleet. May God's peace be with you as your family and son stay the course.

The Hammer. I'm so glad you got to spend that precious time with your sailor. You must be so proud of him. My son is also an EM, and just recently assigned to a sub. This site is an an amazing support . Get some rest today.

My EM landed in Charleston last night around 11:15 and should be nestled in his new room at GC by now. Per advice, I sent him the list of items he might need along with a gift card to the NEX. His flight last night didn't leave until evening... so I spent the whole day at the airport with him... what a great time!!! Now for a day of rest...

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the cards!!

MBear99 - As JayDee659 said, there is no way to predict which airport your sailor will fly out of. For example, my son flew out of O'Hare.

NickSydmom - hopefully, I will be there before you, so we won't be able to meet, but enjoy your visit to GC and graduation!!!

CO-Twin - thank you for sharing this information.
