Edwards19 she left back in August and is now in Power School. If you like breakfast may I suggest you try Wildberry Restaurant after PIR. It was wonderful. They were packed but handled the crowd very efficiently.

JayDee659 when did your daughter leave?

Comment by Edwards19 ( Tricia ) on May 4, 2016 at 4:32pm

yes I am many of them, chipper, happy sounding haha I am thinking of doing it on my phone tho so I can listen anytime I want ..That is great.. Ya a secret note would be fun to get .. I am sure I will get fast food and starbuck receipts  

Comment by JayDee659 on May 4, 2016 at 4:25pm
Edwards 19 ask her to leave you a voicemail or text on her phone right before sgr boxes it up to send home. That way when you get the box you can turn it on and have a special message from her. My goofy daughter drew funny pictures and little notes in the margin of her form letter. That was a fun surprise on that official looking documen .

Welcome to Ambersmamabear!!!  Drop in and share with us about your Sailor daughter!!!!

Comment by Anna on May 4, 2016 at 3:35pm

A'sMom,

So exciting, can't wait to hear all about it afterwards!!!

MBSMomx2,

My twin girls are also my youngest!!!  One twin enlisted right out of high school and the separation was hard for them.  But we all experienced so many funny stories after Catherine left.  Like I had pictures on N4M's of some super Moms who took a bunch a sailors out for dinner, my Catherine being one of them, and when her sister saw the pictures she yelled out that Catherine had the same sweatshirt jacket that she just bought.  And about a year later Jenn went out to WA to visit her sister and just happened to pack a little dress for going out.  Catherine had the exact same dress only in a different color.  Those two still shock me!!!!  Now they are together again in Oklahoma!!! I just hope the state can handle it!!!

Oleander,

I am so much looking forward to getting that hug!!!!  All of the moms on this group are just super ladies!!!  I was so lucky to meet up with 7 Navy Moms that I have met just through N4Ms during our travels last year.  And in one of those meetings I joined a lunch gathering with about 12 other Moms!!!  I'll tell you this, Navy Moms never run out of things to talk about and never share too many hugs!!!!  

JayDee,

Sounds like that would be fun!!!  But I can't even figure out facebook on my phone!!!!

Comment by Oleander on May 3, 2016 at 8:42am

Morning!

How fun JayDee! I'm going to check it out!
