Comment by Cheryl Hartman on June 30, 2011 at 9:00pm Hi all. My name is Cheryl and my son Carl leaves for bc on July 19, 2011. I'm so very proud of him. Through a special program with the towns community college and his high school he was fortunate enough to graduate high school and college at the same time with an associate's degree in engineering. He work very hard and got an award for the programs most outstanding student. He joined the DEP last year and will be heading to BC on July 19. He auto qualified for the Nuclear program which is what he has wanted for a very long time. The last few weeks with the graduations and all , have been so emotional for me. ( Happy Tears), but now that the time is getting so close for him to leave the emotions are mixed with sadness. I'm really going to miss him. Anyways, I am from Blue Rock, Ohio and would love to get to know some other Navy Parents.
Comment by AWV Mom Suzi on April 29, 2011 at 5:12pm SERE is over, thank goodness! He did fine. At their debriefing he found out he did better than he thought he did. I had to laugh, though...he made it through training without any injuries and then was rushing to get to debriefing on time and went over on his ankle. He said there were officers on his team, so he didn't get the worst of the treatment. Still, he said it was the worst thing he ever imagined and has been through, but that he's glad he had the opportunity.
I was pleased with something he said. I knew he had a friend who will be attending SERE in a month. I asked if he was going to talk to him about it. His response was that if you know all what to expect going into it then you really don't get the most out of it. He felt that learning how to react and act was a big part of it. Have to say I was proud of his observation.
Son is now out of Pensacola and on Tinker AFB in OK. The adventure continues....

Comment by AWV Mom Suzi on January 24, 2011 at 6:17pm Just wanted to let you know here that we have a group of Navy Moms and Dads who meet for lunch. We decided that we are going to pack birthday boxes for our sailors when we get together.....so, if any Moms and/or Dads want to join us, let me know or pop over to N4M and join the Ohio group.
Our next lunch will be February 12th over around Mentor/Willoughby.
