Today our DS and family head back to Coronado. It has been a really fun 10 day visit. He is heading out in August for deployment. Found out they will have Change of Command while underway so he will return as the CO. I was disappointed that I won't be able to see that, but my DIL said the CoC ceremony when he leaves the squadron will be even better. This tour is going really fast! Can't believe they are at the halfway mark. Next is the waiting for new orders. No idea where they will be going or what he will be doing. Should be a joint services tour of some kind, I think. Any salty moms out there who have an idea of what comes next?

Judy- so glad you got to visit! I'm not sure of the protocol since my DS is still a ways from deployment but do you get to put a big yellow ribbon on your front porch?  To other Navy4moms that have experienced the first deployment, do you have any advice/memories to share?

I saw the Zac Brown band concert up in Tahoe last weekend, wow was that great, great music, great fun. They do a nice tribute to the armed forces during their 'chicken fry' song. Go if you have the chance to see them!

cheri- happy winging!

Helomom, yes we were in Anacortes the 11th to the 14th. We had a wonderful visit with DS and daughter-in-law. He is scheduled to leave for his first deployment Sunday or Monday.

JudyM-Did you make your trek to Anacortes?

Prayers and good thoughts for all the Navy Moms. Have fun at winging - what an exciting time.

Comment by Paymaster on July 22, 2014 at 12:47pm

Cheri.....I know it will all work out for you.  Can relate to the stress...Stay Navy Strong my friend.

Suzie, I hope your surgery went well.  Good luck with your physical therapy, I hope you'll find that it goes well and are back up to speed in no time!

Comment by NOAM on July 21, 2014 at 11:57pm

Hang in there Cheri.

Our company was bought out less than a week before winging and they called the first meeting with our team the day before we were to leave. I'm the primary breadwinner and didn't know if I would even have a job! They were gracious enough to allow me to go to the winging, and I was eventually offered a job with them so it worked out, but can definitely relate to the stress.   To your point, this is a once in a lifetime event- the stress will wait but the winging won't. Enjoy!!

Suzie - yes, my experience was all my therapists were related to the Marquis de Sade, but I listened and did what they told me anyway and they did know what they were doing!

Fantastic news, Cheri and Sheila! Onward through the great adventure.
Comment by CheriH on July 21, 2014 at 8:21am

Suzie...praying for a successful surgery today and a quick recovery!

I, too could use some prayers today.  We are leaving on Wednesday for winging in Kingsville.  Our daughter is flying in to join us and we have a boatload of family joining us for winging.  All good.  What is complicating the matter is that my husband accepted a new job about a month ago that requires us to move two hours away.  We have our house on the market and we started the house hunting this past week.  We found one last night and put in an offer.  So the 7 day option period starts today if they accept our offer.  So, inspections and mortgage paperwork needs to be happening this week!  I really love the house and want it to work, but really want to be able to focus on DS and his accomplishment this week.  The stress level is fairly high.  We get back from winging and hubby starts new job on Tuesday.  I just keep telling myself that it will work out.  And that winging happens only once.  Any prayers that you can spare will help!

Thanks, as always!

Shelia...have a wonderful visit with your kids!!!
