We get so caught up with life...the stress, the mess, the good, bad and ugly. I think if we could all take a break throughout the day and be thankful for the blessing of having a crappy job (at least…Continue

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 10:40am 0 Comments

I recieved this email recently from a Navy mom. Her daughter was deployed to Afghanistan and she found an awesome way to send Christmas to war! Try this the next time you fill your holiday care package:

"Lori, this is the first time I've used this email addy in a long time, and so happy to be able to post one more time.  You have the greatest number of members to whom I hope this will prove useful.

Lori, thank you so much for your effort!  I found one!  My daughter had a copy and I had forgotten!  No worries, we're ok!  Thanks again!

Hi Lori,  I wonder if you would please get this message out to the other AF Moms:  My son sent us a schedule of Graduation Ceremonies, etc for Jan. 10-11-12-13, well, I seem to have lost it!  I have looked for two days and cannot find it!  This paper has all of the graduation info for visitors and I do not know how I could get a copy.  This info is for 324 TRS/FLT 07 graduating 1/11/2013.  If anyone has a copy please contact me at mluna117@hotmail.com  I really would appreciate a copy !   THANK YOU!

Many, many congratulations on the birth of your son!  How awesome for you and your family!  Also, thank you for starting this website, I cannot tell you how liberating it is for me.  When my son went through boot camp, there was nothing, no support groups, no websites to view him or the goings on...we were totally blind, and knew nothing about what was going on with him so very far from home.  My son has been in 6 years now, and has accepted orders to take him to England for 4 years.  None of my friends at home understand the hurt, frustration and helplessness you feel about not seeing your child for years...or deployments, or anything military.  This group understands everything I feel!!!  Now I have met truly some of the most wonderful women in my life, and I am planning on getting together with one of them this weekend from my home state of Michigan!  She has also directed me to some support groups in our state and in my area, and I feel like I am not so alone anymore! I have also talked to another mom from a neighboring state about getting together this summer.  I find can share all of my experiences with other Military Mommies which has been awesome!  Thank you again for creating  a forum for all of the women who need to have a support bra!  Much love and respect, Marti Knoll

Thank you for the advice, Lori :) My hubby graduated from Marine Corps boot camp on Dec 10th, so this whole lifestyle is still new to me. I'm doing lots of research, but I'm also a freelance writer & author, so keeping myself busy is a good thing for my mind & my career! :) January is a bit of a lull month, as folks gear up for the start of the new year & really get moving again. Getting through 3 months of boot camp wasn't nearly as tough as I thought it would be, so 1 month of training shouldn't be so hard.

Thank you so much for the Thumbs Up gift :) I really needed that this week ... been having a very hard time with my husband being gone for training.
