our son left 1-24-12

Alexander Gonzales

Ship 12 division 093

Alex left with a smile on his face for his country. I am so very proud of him for this! I knew it would hit our family but never did I think it would be this hard. We missed the first phone call he called and left a voicemail on my old cell phone number his little brother carries :( he sounded scared on his voicemail. I know that's what is making it so hard on me! He knew what numbers to call. I so look forward to giving the boy that left a hug… Continue

Hours Away From RTC

My son Zach is hours away from RTC.  He sent me a text while layed over in Denver.  He enjoyed his first ever flight!  He's got a great attitude so far and I'm encouraged by it.  He should be landing in Chicago 11PM and then we wait for his " I'm here" call.

Unfortunately, his mom had to go to a conference same day he left.  She's been delayed since she left the house.  There is a small chance she will miss the "I'm here" call while she is in flight.  I told Zach to send her a…

Visiting with the grandparents...

... in Gulf Shores one last time before Kaitlin leaves for GL on Monday.  She has been showing them different videos about boot camp (way different from Grandpa's days in the Army during the Korean War).  Right now she is at the gun range with Dad and Grandpa getting in a little practice.

 

My mother-in-law summed up the emotions very well yesterday when we arrived and she started crying.  "I am just a little verklempt."  Perfect definition!

Pass and Review

We are all very excited to be heading out to Chicago this week to witness my girl Kelli as she does her Pass and Review to become a full United States Navy Sailor. Hoorah!

So far, she has done very well and was assigned to the ship's staff as well as the security team. She went into boot camp as an E2 and is graduating as an E3. She has earned her stripes and will continue to do so in the future. I will not be surprised if she becomes an officer sometime in the future as I…

Anchors Aweigh...

...was Saturday and a huge success.  About 45 people came by to show support for our almost-Sailor.  The best surprise was a visit from a Chief friend of ours.  I thought K was going to cry when she saw him - she didn't.  Then, since he is a Boatswains Mate, he had a little ceremony where he piped her, "on to boot camp."  Again, she didn't cry (but she almost did this time).

All of the hard work she has put in since she was 13 (Navy Sea Cadet) will definitely pay off in the…
