    Earthquake!

    My Alaska Mid said he was surprised that there was an earthquake that big in the area. He said some bricks fell from a building (?) and some people seemed really scared. DS doesn't scare too easily. He has lived on the East Coast (hurricane country), in South Dakota (tornado country), Alaska...

    Missing my DS

    Welcome back, LovetheNavy! I had no idea about your summer adventures. Glad things are beginning to get back to normal for you and that everyone is safe in your family! DS is currently playing golf with DH. It is so good to see him growing more and more confident in himself and in life...

    The Evil Cough

    Your kid will survive. I have two Navy boys, one enlisted, one at USNA. The Navy does take their health seriously, but they are fighting men now. I had to learn that no one is going to baby them because they have the sniffles or a cough. My Plebe ended up with walking pneumonia during first...

    Roller coaster

    You never know how much you can take, until you have to take it! Blackhawkmom certainly learned just how strong she is last summer! My former Plebe also came in and saw me looking at the pics. His comment, "Haha...poor slobs!" Then he said, "I used to think I couldn't wait to stick it to...

    Care Packages, Wish I Had Sent?

    Iday question

    We bought our son food from the Drydock in the mid-afternoon. Believe me, by that time of the day, we were glad to have something productive to do while we waited for him! We had already done all the tours, shopping and activities and were filled with nervous energy waiting to see him one last...

    Stationary

    Do they get stamps from the Academy? We sent stamps with ours, and he asked for more part way through. We also sent self-adhesive address labels with our address, with his address and a few with addresses of family and friends as well (but not as many as we sent of ours :wink:). Addressing...

    Summer Seminar – A parent’s perspective

    JJ, My son typically gives me no more than a sentence at a time, and that's when we are "chatting". There were two times in his life when my less-than-communicative son couldn't shut up. One was after a mission trip to Botswana, the other was after NASS...Can't wait to hear if yours gives you...

    Meloncoly Blues

    @Fencersmom...hahahaha...coal....hahaha :lolatyou: Wow, sure glad my son's girl lives 2 miles from our house. Otherwise we might never see him cuz he'd be hanging out with friends. He already went to a shipmate's house for spring break, even with the girlfriend here... But I have to admit...

    Meloncoly Blues

    Totally agree with above posts. And don't be surprised if your kid is shell shocked! Mine had been preparing for this day for years, had attended NASS, thought he knew what to expect...But, when we got our few minutes at the end of I-Day, he looked like he had already been to Hell and had come...

    Weight Issue?

    DO NOT skip breakfast or go on a starvation diet! Not only will both of these interfere with your health, they will also cause your body to hang on to weight. Breakfast jump starts your metabolism, and eating something healthy and light every few hours will keep your metabolism running at its...

    When he REALLY be home?

    update Got a call from DS on Friday. He said there are three possiblities being discussed right now...none of those include the date he was given when he was assigned his ship. One does include his original scheduled leave, another is 5 days earlier and the last is the extended cruise which...

    What do you think?

    Never sure how I feel about being "global" anything. Nonetheless, my son did "join the Navy, see the world"! Stationed in Japan, currently on CARAT tour of Southeast Asia on "Tortuga". Working hard, experiencing new countries, loving life and the Navy.
