<p>Hello MommaLeah It's great to see someone in my sons division! And with so much in common too! You don't live in CA do you? lol It has been such a relief to have heard from him. I no longer feel worried, now I can just be excited for him, and still miss him of course. Are you planning on going to his PIR? We are driving an RV out. I just booked my campground yesterday!</p>

ShelleyMarie,<br />
I'm new to this page and your story speaks to me. My son is also Ship 14, Div 321. He also wears glasses and shipped out on the 3rd. We are a big family, too. As I read your story, I felt like I was reading my own. I'm so happy that we are now getting letters and a phone call this past week. Good luck to your son, and hold on, Momma. Our boys will be in our arms soon as U.S. Sailors.

<p>My son is in the same PIR - Sept. 6. Ship 14 Div 322. My son had trouble getting to boot camp. He left on the 3rd and ended up going to DC before flying into O'Hare. His plane was diverted to Indianapolis because of bad thunderstorms. He did not arrive until late on the 4th, that was the final I am here call. Since he was supposed to originally be an August 30 PIR, I suspect that the weather delay and the holiday was the cause of the PIR being a week later.</p>
<p>See you…</p>

<p>I received my son's form letter today. I am so excited and relieved! I know that no news is good news, but once 14 days passed I started to worry a bit! His PIR is September 6th, and not Aug. 30th He's in Ship 14 Div 321. I wonder if the holiday did cause the delay. </p>
<p>We can send our letters now! I can't wait to get a personal letter from him. </p>

<p>Hi ShellyMarie - I'm in Riverside - didn't feel the quake on the 4th but did feel the one on the 5th. It wasn't too bad at our house - you're a lot closer to the epicenter than I am. I know it rattled for quite a while though! I had heard that some recruits were being allowed to call home to check on family regarding the earthquakes - it probably just depended on their division.</p>

<p>ShellyMarie - Yes you should all be able to meet him at the airport. Make sure you have ID's for all of your children, or check the airlines. In order to get a gate pass to go be with your sailor, you will have to follow all of the same airline and TSA regulations, and everyone will go through security as well with their sailor. If I recall, you are planning on driving, so you may not have considered this aspect of your trip. </p>

<p>I like your little motto. I am very much a planner as well, although, I am learning to adjust with this Navy life. Sometimes we plan and then other times, we go ahead and wait till we are certain on dates, but that can cause us to pay extra at times. </p> That's the best attitude to h…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2019-07-18:1971797:Comment:106078402019-07-18T17:41:04.648ZB'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet)https://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/Bsnukemom
