nice comment durrich.
I heard back from our sailor son and he said it's especially difficult for the husbands and wives who are separated from eachother and from their kids. As for him, he said it just means more money for him which isn't a bad attitude. He didn't sound upset as far as himself, just for the families. If you knew my son you'd realize that for him to say that shows that he has gained some compassion. He's one of those stoic, few words, little emotion kind of guys. He's still awesome of course, ha ha. His two brothers are complete opposites. I guess my point was that maybe being around different guys and girls and seeing their emotions, missing their loved ones etc, has had an effect on him. That's good though. sorry all, don't mean to ramble on.

I read everything and only comment every so often but want to say how proud I am of all of you and how proud I am to be a truman navy mom. This is our 2nd deployment so the thought of a shorter time was wonderful.....but I also knew the needs of the navy might change things. I'm sorry for what our sailors might miss by not coming home as planned.....but am keeping good thought for summer !!!!

Imnadelady- It was BrittanyandMadal who said give em hell.
I join you in saying well said.

Thank you bernapet, and sheis22
IMNlady- I think someone else said that but thanks anyway.
Sheis22-ok I knew someone was coming from California and was talking about booking flights, I bet that was you. This planning for travel reminds me so much of bootcamp and the waiting and wondering and do I book flights or wait. Military family life, right? You're right on, be safe and stay strong. Their well being and safe return is #1.
Our youngest is graduating too and now his sailor bro will miss it. Dog gone! One thing I really do hope is that this is the only extension. But again, their safety #1.
I'm grateful for this HST page and all of you. Sometimes I only "listen" but it's still important.

Thanks jbird for your comforting words. I too am sad, but we will survive. I think it will be harder on some of our Sailors than others. I know my daughter was really looking forward to going to a graduation for her brother and a 1st. birthday party for her nephew, but it is what it is and we can't change it. For me it will give me more time to save more money for the trip as I am coming from California and more vacations hours which will help. My motto is "Be safe and Stay Strong" which btw I did send my daughter a t-shirt that says "Stay Strong for me". I ordered it on Customink.com, they have great prices. Anyway, everyone we are still one day closer.

Hi everyone and welcome to all the new moms- I've been mia a bit but still enjoy reading the conversation. I did receive an email from our son sharing the news. Can't believe it but they'll be ok. will we?? I know we'll hang tough with them. I think the military is cut thinner these days, perhaps that has something to do with it but extensions are very common too. I haven't heard back from our son yet but I did ask his thoughts on this. Of course we don't talk details but we'll get the scoop soon. Good example of how we need to be flexible about our planning because you never know what can change. I did ask my son if there's anything he needs me to send for the extra time, we'll see. He always says thanks but no thanks.
Encourager-don't feel devistated. I know how disappointing it is but in the grand scheme, though a bit delayed, our guys and girls ARE coming home and that's something to look forward to. Hang in there, K?
Blessings to all

Awwww I hate to hear this! I shall be praying for our sailors and hope that they don't extend any longer. If anyone hears anything more please let us know. My son never put me on the FRG newsletter so I'm a bit in the dark. Thanks!
