I'm worried about my husband. He started a sschool for mm this week and had his first quiz today in math. He could only finish half and is having a hard time. He says he isn't fat enough and that he struggles to understand the material. It takes him 4 hours everyday just to do his homework. What should he do? How can I make him feel better about himself?

Hi all - Happy Wednesday!

Special shout out to Mommamac MM(CVN77).  Happy Birthday to you!  Hope your day is extra special ;-)

Comment by PacNWmom on May 5, 2015 at 11:45pm

Thanks for all the good thoughts everyone. I appreciate it. As it turns out, I am going to be able to attend the funeral on Saturday, in Durham NC. I'm hopeful my sailor can get a chit and be there too, if only so I get a chance to see him! Not exactly what I had planned when I left home, but I'm already packed, and this young man's family means the world to me. I told my sailor today. He took it well. He is closer to the parents than to the young man himself. Please keep this very close-knit, heartbroken family in your hearts. Thank you for all your support!

Hi all - Happy Tuesday!

Lilo54 - not sure why you are having an issue with the mail. Hopefully he gets the card this time!

PacNWMom - hugs to you. Sorry for your loss.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Comment by Lilo54 on May 4, 2015 at 11:31pm

Thanks Kris - I think I will try to send it to him again.  Its just a card with a little money in it.  I might try to resend it and hope it gets there before he graduates! 

CB'sMom - his class has not changed and he has gotten mail before so this is a strange one.  I usually tell him to expect mail but I wanted this to be a little special surprise.  In the past, he says, he usually gets mail and/or a notice of a delivery.  Don't know what happened but hopefully it won't again.  Thanks.

Comment by CB'sMom DIV 186 PIR 5/30 on May 4, 2015 at 9:35pm

Sometimes their class # address changes. Did he go to the post office to pick his mail up? If they are in class it gets delivered there

Comment by Kris on May 4, 2015 at 7:36pm
Lilo54 - my mom mailed her grandson an Easter card and it was returned to her and said the exact same thing as your envelope. She put the card in another envelope with the same address and he got that one. Have no idea what happened.
Comment by Popeyesmomma on May 4, 2015 at 6:23pm
PacNWmom, so sorry for your loss!

I don't have any magic remedies or even any good advice. I think it depends on you and your sailor. I lost my brother this past fall - also to a car accident. It was on my daughter's 15th birthday. I didn't let my daughter know until the day after, but I told my sailor that day. My brother lived in Phoenix and my sailor only remembered meeting him once when he was 8. He remembered him, but it wasn't the blow to him that it was to me. It felt good letting him know. Just having others know what you're going through actually helps. My sailor is my rock and I told him because he had a right to know that he lost an uncle.

He's graduating May 15, by the way. Good luck to you and your sailor! I hope that things work out for you both.

Has anyone had any trouble with mail being returned to sender from GC?  I sent my sailor a letter on the 15 of April.  Same address as I have been using since he started A school.  But, this came back today and said return to sender - attempted - not known - unable to forward???  This explains why my sailor never thanked me for the money I had included in the letter!!!! It took two weeks to get back to me too!  I have sent him several items via USPS and this is the first one that came back.

My son rented an apartment in BS. He was already married and had furniture from his first apartment. He was also very lucky, weather wise , because the winter of 2011-2012 was unseasonably ,lid for the area. In fact, he had to navigate more snow in Norfolk this past winter, go figure!
