Melanie, that is awesome 6 1/2 years!! As for your son, let's hope he saw and learned from what you went through and he will be careful.

The base sticker requirements are different for Norfolk.
Comment by Dianne on June 10, 2009 at 2:28pm
Melissa, my son's name did not have to be on the title for him to get the base sticker. It had to be on either the title or the insurance.

Debbie, we can't put his name on the title until it's paid off. He has another year or so before he's done paying for it. Thank you for the info, I think when he comes home next month we will call them and get it worked out, because currently his insurance costs more than his car payment!!

Laura, they are "adults" and we have to let them grow up. AHHHH that's so hard to say, but its true. My son is too young to drink, so far so good in that area. Smoking, his grandparents on his dad's side died from it, so he hates it, keeping my fingers crossed on that one. Tattoo....well, he wanted to go get one, I have 3 myself and convinced him to wait until we went out to SD before he got one. He did, I took him to my Christian Tattooist and he got his first tat, I'm hoping that one will be enough to tide him over for a while. My son lives on ship, so having his car is like his own little place, if that makes sense. He gets off work, sits in his car, reads, listens to music, drives to the bowling alley (the best internet connection is at the bowling alley on base). He has even driven up and visited his grandparents in Los Angeles. So far him having his car has been a positive thing. I totally understand you have a lot of concerns, and Melissa has a good idea...maybe after deployment he can have his car...or after a certain amount of time he can have his car. Hang in there lady.

I'm so glad Matt is deathly afraid of needles. That's the only thing keeping him from a tatoo. I hope he never gets over that fear.....lol

Laura: I'm not fabulous, you're just getting old.
I hope Spencer gets his butt in gear. Maybe he's going through a phase. Any idea on when his ship deploys? What me to try and find out? Can you maybe let him have his car after he's been in SD for ___ months? Maybe by then he'll drop his civilian friends.
You're going to Chattanooga tonight for dinner with MCPON? Don't forget to find Mary Martin and Anita Nelson. Mary is the Navy Mom from Atlanta that organized the dinner with MCPON. And Anita is just plan terrific. You'll love both of them.

I've sent the same email 3 times now Laura. I sent it to your personal email account. Not on here. Does that help?
Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on June 9, 2009 at 5:19pm
Your son's name has to be on the title (my name and Matt's name are on his title) in order to get a base decal. In Arizona, the registration is always the same as the title (names). It was easiest for me to remove my husband's name from the title and just add Matt. Next time he's home, I'll drag him down to MVD and take my name off of it. The insurance can remain in your name, your son just needs to be added to your policy if you go that route. Matt was deployed when I was doing all this car stuff so it was easiest to add him to my policy until he can choose his own insurance.

Carolyn, before we took my son his car he used the Trolly a lot. Or just walked.

Question - - USAA Insurance...does the car have to be registered in the name of those in the military? My son's car is registered in my name and when I tried to do it on line, it didn't work.

Here's the link to the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System:

www.sdmts.com/

I couldn't get the link to work for me, but just Google "San Diego Trolley". You might also tell your son that a lot of other Sailors will have their cars and most all of them are very willing to give a shipmate a ride. My nephew met someone from Tucson and they became fast friends, don't know if it was b/c he had a car????? lol
