Thank you. I have already learned a lot in the few days I've been on here, but have spent a lot of time, lol. Very informative and helpful. Thank you for being part of making it happen.
Hey everyone. My son graduates next Friday and then he is off to Corpmans school. I was thinking about getting him a laptop. But don't know if he would be allowed to use it in class?
Hi Tiffany. Hope I fixed all my issues. Sorry about that! Thanks again for doing this! I know it's a huge job and as a mom, I truly appreciate it! Many blessings to you!
I am so glad that this site exist. Just from reading the post as a mom I felt so much better. I found out that there were many mom's in the same boat as myself and that I was not alone. My son called me a week ago from Recruit Training and said he was ill. He is in division 085. I was so worried about him but I feel so much better knowing that there are moms who have children at recruit training going through similar things and that he should PIR on time which is February 6. I slept for the first time in a week after accessing this site. Thank you Thank you so much for sharing everyone!
Thank you!! I'm so happy that this site is available for me to learn more about this journey for my friend. Since I can't communicate with him the way I would like, this site has been a tremendous help, guide and support for me. Thanks again!! :-)
Thank you! I thought I saw a link to the different groups that were beginning boot camp. My son leaves in January 2015. Now I cannot locate it. Can you direct me? I'm so grateful for this site already! So much information.
Mahalo for the information and adding me to the site. Hope that I have provided the correct information to let other moms know which ship/div my son is currently in? I also understand that once I've established contact with others, I should remove that information from my profile. Please let me know if I've misunderstood. Mahalo again and aloha for now...
Thank you very much for the add to Navy Moms. I'm am excited to be a part of such a wonderful network. I too just received a few days ago my sons box of personal items. I'm so proud of him and can't wait to hear from him again hopefully he can share some exciting details about his experience.
