Congrats on your first year of service Kaitelyn!

I should have posted this a month ago, my daughter Kaitelyn Mercer has now served over a full year, and I am so proud and amazed at what she has accomplished during that time.  Basic training, an impressive accomplishment by itself, advanced training at Pensacola, and ongoing security training as an E-2 with the Roosevelt carrier(the "Big Stick", love that name) in Norfolk.  We visited back in July and I was impressed with everything I saw, although we didn't actually get to go on base. …

Civilian Box...

Today I received my son's civilian box which contained all of his personal belongings that he had with him on the day he left for RTC which was exactly seven days ago.

As I opened the box, I couldn’t help but get sentimental. After all we all miss him so much!

Eagerly waiting for the form letter, I hope it comes soon...

RTC First Phone Call...

I received a call from my son Oliver last night at around 21:30 PST from his day one at RTC. He sounded a bit rushed but okay. He was trying to get as many phone calls out as allowed. I'm to expect a letter in the mail in a week or two.

 

Until we talk again Son!

 

I want to send my well wishes and prayers to all of the new recruits on base. God Bless You All...

My Son, My Sailor, My Hero

 

Poem Written By:  Paige Robbins

September 2011

  

The years since your birth have come and gone in a hurry.

And even though you’re grown now, I still often worry.

I’ve watched you change from boy into a man,

Knowing it's one small part of God’s plan.

 

Always determined to be successful in life,

You set goals for yourself and follow them in strife.

Your unwavering…

Change in plans

     Hello all. My son just made a 2-minute call. He's had to get therapy for his knees (I think too many years of karate). So they changed his ship/division from 03/336 to 04/341, which puts him at a 14 Oct PIR. He sounded okay, for as short as we got to speak to him.

     His Mom teared up something awful after her 10 seconds on the phone with him.

     Plus, he had a wisdom tooth removed right before he sent us his first (and only so far) letter.
