Profile Information

About me:
I live in Florida, am married with 2 daughters here in Florida, also a beautiful granddaughter, 8 years old. My son (youngest of 3) just left for bootcamp in the Great Lakes. I already miss him so much, I can't imagine not talking to him for 2 weeks! I'm very nervous about all of this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I am here to support or represent my:
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was concerned or afraid
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
They don"t always tell you the truth, they will put you where they need you. I had two brothers in the Navy for 6 years, one of my brothers now says it was one of the best decisions he ever made in his life. (He's 62) While he was in it he did not like it.

my son left the 24th of August also

He called me on the 24th and we talked for a few minutes, he thought they would be leaving that day around 3pm. He called that night for a few seconds, saying he had arrived.

I've been reading on this site that some families have already gotten the box, address, PIR date, etc.! I called his recruiter yesterday and… Continue

Daniel left for Des Monies,Iowa witch is where MEPS is around here on Aug. 19 but was flown up to Great Lakes on the 20th witch was his leave date.I received his box on Tuesday and just got his form letter yesterday. I had 4 letters waiting to send to him already. So go ahead and start writing those letters it has helped me just to be able to write to him since I still have about 2 more weeks before he will be able to call me.
