Ship 03, Div 155 anyone?

I have not been doing much of anything these last few days but mope and check online. I have read everything on this site since I found it, just about 5 days ago. Why I haven't made the search earlier, I don't know. It would have made his leaving for BC less traumatic. But then again, I have been in denial until we exchanged our goodbye hugs on Monday...

I would love to hear from others whose loved ones share the same ship/div. Mine will go to Nuke school later on and I'm so hungry for more news and info.

Are the t-shirts meant for souvenirs or are they to be worn sometime during PIR? I would like to get some, too, but I'm wondering if there's a certain protocol on when to have them on?

Thank you!

My SR said he ordered one for me so if there is time to check with them you might want to first!

I was so excited to talk to my husband on Saturday. Every phone call makes it easier. I am so proud of how they all did in Marlinspike. My husband was a captain and told me took some pictures of 155 and they should be posted on facebook soon. Is anyone staying at Comfort Inn?

My husband said the same thing about the pictures but i have yet to see him in one yet. I know that you look at them on facebook under wall photos. i guess they dont post all pictures taken.
