We survived Gustav! We got lucky by the storm falling apart at the end. The people in New Orleans were very lucky this time. My advice is they better get busier strengthening those levee's. God definitely spared the Gulf Coast this time. We have had a lot of rain here so flooding will be are only threat. Now it's time to watch Hannah and send our Prayers towards that neck of the woods. We will be praying for our members on the East coast.

Yep. Dale I feel your pain. We have had to say goodbye to our son three times since he's been in the Navy. I said goodbye to Evan this morning for the fourth time in his short Navy career. This will be a long goodbye as he is headed for San Diego California ( a long way from home ). It doesn't get any easier or atleast it hasn't for me.

They will check in with the group once a day to read the questions and find the answers to what us parents would like to ask. This could be one of the most helpful tools on this site. A big thank you to the Sailors who are willing to help out us dear old parents. Also I would… Continue

Guys that was so awesome to see. As a parent of one of the new sailors the ceremony was the coolest thing I have seen. To see our son's and daughter's standing tall in front of us parents in your whites was a very proud moment for us. You all looked the part. I couldn't be prouder of all of you for your commitment to defend this great country we live in. When you as one said your creed aloud to the crowd it gave me chills. I am so proud of what you guys have accomplished. I know it wasn't easy… Continue
