Anyone out there have a child on ship 3 div 165??

[sandra smith]

Hello- our son is on ship 3 division 162!!!! Ours may be with yours. I found out today that div 158-165 graduate on April 17th.

[Sue]

It looks like many of our sons are on ship 3. I haven't found anyone yet on 165 though. Do you know how they divide them up. Let's stay in touch!

[sandra smith]

Not sure how they are divided, we are waiting to hear from brent on how many are to a division

My son Nick is on Ship 3 but Division 168, I bet that is in the same building.

Hi there. My son is there! He called me about a week into boot camp to get references since they are doing a security background check on him. It was so great to hear his voice. I received a letter from him on Monday for the first time. His graduation is on the 17th too. Does anyone know whether kids under 14 count towards the 4 guests maximum at graduation?

[Sue]

I got my first call yesterday! Are you planning on going to Flanagan's on the 16th? I'm looking forward to it! I wonder if the boys know each other. Matt told me that he is keeping quiet and following orders. He said that they do not have time to talk.

[sandra smith]

Hello, our son just sent us the graduation information, he graduates on the 17th of April, no children under 12 do not count towards the 4 they choose.

Hello Sue,
Not sure if we will make it Flannigan's, we are coming in with Brent's girlfriend, and our other children as well as meeting Brent's mom and brother, let me explain, Brent lives with his father, my husband, he had custody of Brent when I met him, Brent was 13 at the time, so I am Brent's other mother and then there is Tina, his mother, makes sense I hope. I will write Brent and ask if he knows your son, if we do not make it to Flannigan's, maybe we will meet somehow. We have made our reservations at the La Quinta inn, it is in Gurnee, IL approx 9 miles from the base. Talk to you soon

[Sue]

That sounds great Sandra. We are staying at the Marriott Residence Inn. They said it was about 10 minutes from the base. I just have to get a car. Matt's girlfriend can't go so my older son going now. I have to rearrange a few things. I look forward to meeting you if we can.

I look foward to meeting you as well. We will stay in touch as much as possible, We received another letter from Brent today. He said that this week is full of inspections and if they do not pass all of them they will be held back. I wrote back and told him to keep his head high, I have faith in him, good luck to you and your son. Talk to you later
