DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Hello, I'm Tracey and mom of a son in division 321!! We just booked our airline tickets from CA to ORD!! We are arriving 9/24...just so there are no delays, etc...plus gives us a chance to be tourists!!
We had a daughter do this same thing 2 years ago...so looking forward to hugging him. Last time our daughter spent Friday with us after the grad, got to stay with us at the hotel friday night/spent all day Sat with us, then reported back to the base sat night...then we got to meet her at the airport sunday and spend her "waiting" time with her and all who were traveling with her to Maryland...for a few hours...then hugged and said good bye during A school...I'm hoping we get the same time with my son...it is precious time and goes oh so quickly. We aren't flying home until monday just so we get all the time we may possibly have with him.
Got his box of clothes and the form letter but nothing more...hoping for both this weekend!! Can't wait to meet you all

Not happening this time Traceykj, all recruits must be back on base Friday evening since 2011 (If I remember correctly).
Those Sailors flying out for A School will pack up their things and head to the airport shortly after midnight. You can go to the airport, meet your Sailor and get a gate pass that will allow you to go and wait at the gate until his plane leaves..

Is that head to the airport after midnight for all A schoolers. My sailor is going to Nuke School. Will that be what we should expect? No time on Saturday? He is in Div 322

Oh my goodness moms of ship 3 division 321....we just got our first letter from him and it was 8 pages...surprised us!!
But...i wanted to let you know that in the form letter he gave us a different street address then in this letter...our mailing address to him is no longer ohio street but now is
ship 03, division 321
3505 Sailor Drive (before he had told us 3600 ohio street)
Great Lakes, IL 60088
Anyhow my daughter said as long as ship and division are on there and his name the letter will find him.
Oh...and my daughter reminded me she didn't spend the night with us...we took her back:(
