Just wanted to throw a little information out there, and had no idea where to put it, so I decided to just drop it here.  

The last 2 years has been a whirlwind for us.  Our son, who I thought had no interest in military service, decided to throw us a curve ball a couple of years ago, and set us all off on this journey.  His mother and I had prepaid his college, years in advance.  Even though he comes from a long line of military service, dating back to the Revolutionary War, I never…

Thanks for taking some time and checking out my blog! I'm new and suuuper confused! I could use all the help I can get :)

My fiance just signed up for the Navy in May of this year. A week after he met with the recruiter, he proposed :)! I'm so excited but we haven't made plans yet, nor set a date! We're afraid to make any plans because there is no telling what will change in the next couple of months as far as A school and shipment days go.

He is leaving Sept. 5th of…

Hey everyone!

Make sure you check out the new Navy STEM PSA. Filling the needs in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math) is crucial to the future of the country. That’s why we want you to watch the PSA and share it with friends and family. Get the word out there, encourage and be proud if your Sailor works in a STEM related area!…

Hi, everybody. I'm just writing this to see if I can get any advice from y'all. I haven't heard from my son in awhile. He doesn't answer his cellphone. I've been told by his fiancee that she was told be co-workers that the Navy changes them, and for the first year or so they're not themselves. Is any other mom out there that may know of a situation going on there? I'm just worried because it's so very unlike him to NOT call in this…

I miss my sailor...

Hi all,

This site has been great!

My son has just had his first week at 'A' school at Goose Creek.  I do not know his graduation date, ship name, or any clue as to find out more about his next phase in the Navy.  He was very happy to 'get EM'  his rank changed to FN.  After that I know nothing.  Any other information would be helpful.  It is so fun to talk to him daily now.  But this is all new to both of us.  He is determined to stand on his own and we are very proud of his…

OK, now I don't know what to do.

For a while I was sure I'd go to my son's A school graduation.

Then, it started to seem like it was not a very big event and I wondered how son would feel about me coming.

Now, talking to hubby, he says to go if I want....I can use points for the flight and hotel. We're really being financially careful now since he started his business back up, so I do not want to be frivolous.

I wonder how many parents go to A school…
