Hi Everyone = ) Yes Sue you are right. Carlos was not involved in any of this but since he is AO, all pay the same price. He was pretty upset yesterday since he had been working hard to phase up and had finally reached Phase 3 when this happened. He…

Hi Sue, I am so…
Hi Lauren,

Hi Mom of Micheal! Hope you find out soon if he can come home for break.
Hi 2Navykids, My son is AO and he is still taking classes, but has break from 18 to Jan 2. Is your son graduating on the 18th?
Hello Lori, I sympathize with you...for it was 4 months ago I was in your shoes and I was devastated. Navy for moms is awesome! My advice, have alot of faith in him, when you get the address write to your son and send him pics as often as you can. Y…
Sue, I responded in our PIR group...sooooo happy for Pat = ) but wanted to share this with you that I just remembered. At the NEX in PCola they sell a Navy deployment DVD for Japan; helps with learning the language and what to expect. I was just up…

Thats great Lori, but will he be able to come home during break anyway. Carlos should class up right after holiday break. He had better study hard cause I hear you have to get the highest score to get your pick at AO squadron & although he is very s…
Thanks Carol and Sharon = )
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Carlos is my only son. He is only 18 but takes this very seriously and has matured alot. His barracks roomate had been active for 4 years and just re-enlisted, used to be a rescue swimmer. This has been a l…
That's great = ) for starters I want to know if the statement "the flight deck is the most dangerous place on the planet" is true. What are the risks of this job? Where in all likelyhood he be deployed? Is it true that they can't really "hear" on th…
Hi all! Jacqueline I think your awesome, what a wealth of knowledge!
Can someone lead me in the right direction on AOs...I had a talk with my son over Thanksgiving weekend and now I think I am more concerned than ever. Since he feels my stress, now…
Sue I am so happy Pat will be home for Christmas. I asked Carlos about him the day we went to the mall to see it he was free and wanted to come along with us but hey only see eachother at class. I will be driving back to PCola to pick Carlos up for…
Hi All ☺ It was a long drive to and back from P'Cola but it was so worth seeing my son. He wanted to go to the Mall to get more civilian clothes and we went to IHOP for breakfast. Didn't get a chance to see the Museum, but I really wanted to. Maybe…
Hi = ) Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Does anyone have pics or video of Div 395. I could not attend graduation. Thanks,
Lilly
Profile Information
- About me:
- My name is Lilly. My son Carlos left for RTC Great Lakes, IL on Thursday Sept. 3, 2009. He joined as DEP at 17 years old after graduating with honors from HS and 1 year in college. He is my only son and he is my life. I cried the day I took him to MEPs to take the test, he wasn't recruited at school... he just asked me to drive him there and that's what he wanted. More about us later. I am mainly here for support and just to have information and communicate with my son.
My son graduated Navy BC on 10/30/09 I am so proud of him and so happy he is doing well, most importantly that he loves the Navy. Now he will go to A School in Pensacola, Florida on 11/4/09. I'm so excited! I love this site it has helped me get through the difficult times and the moms on here are awesome!
Thanks.

Jacquis said… - Hi Lilly, my son is Div 370 Ship 10. I received his form letter on Saturday. It states PIR is 10/30/09. It sounds like it is going to be a full graduation as the previous week 10/23/09 was cancelled.

- Hi Lilly,
I hope soon you to will receive a letter. I can't believe it. I wasn't expecting a letter for a couple of more weeks. Also, we called his recruiter and they gave us the wrong Div so I'm glad we waited until we heard from Austin.

Pat said… - Welcome aboard! Thank you for supporting his decision to join the Navy. You will be getting your 'child in a box' and your first letter, soon. Your 'box' will contain the clothes he wore to boot camp and anything else that he had with him that he won't need! The letter will give you an address...write often...but expect only one letter a week. You will want to check out the 'Groups' tab at the top of the page under the banner...then type in Boot Camp...you will find a lot of answers and information on that group site. Once you know his PIR date, you will want to look for a group with his date and ship #. These groups usually have a gathering near RTC--Great Lakes the night b-4 grad. You will get to know Mom's from all over the country with recruits in your son's ship.
You can also look to see if there is a group for your son's rate (I assume AO) and for your state. You may even find other mom's from your hometown. We have a group here in IN that meet every month for dinner. Bottom line...you have found a great site for support.
