Hi everyone. My nephew is also on Ship 12 Div 325. Since he is the first in the family to do this, we are having a hard time with him going away for 8 weeks. These forums have helped a lot. I am glad I joined. My name is Christine by the way.

Hi Christine welcome to the group. Your nephew is in good hands!
Thank you Nancytysmom. We are hoping to get a phone call soon.
Hope you get a call. I think we may get letters this week:)

Well, we didn't get a phone call. Hopefully tomorrow.

Hi everyone! My boyfriend is in Ship 12, Division 325. Got my phone call yesterday, so happy! Has anyone gotten there information on PIR weekend sent to them? We still haven't gotten it. 

Shayanna the PIR for them is August 30th.  My son is the same ship and div - he said that date was firm.

 

about.com has an interesting break down of navy boot camp.

We received our call on Saturday while up north at the cabin.  We were at a parade and the emergency responders were all going by blaring their sirens!  lol  We quickly ran down the street away from them.  We don't get the best phone service up there, and sure enough I couldn't hear my sons voice.  I KNEW he could hear mine so I kept talking and I told him try another phone at the phone bank, and my husband was right next to me, I said call his phone.  He hung up called his Dad, and we still couldn't hear his voice!  We ran into the house and went to the "spot" where we've had the best service we could find.  He called back!  We got to talk to him for 10:42.  Damn, I'm so proud of that boy!!!!!  It was really good hearing his voice, and he was in really high spirits.  Said a couple of the recruits couldn't even float, much less swim the 50 yard test, so for a couple of them boot camp is going to be VERY TOUGH.  And, of course, he said what every mother hopes to hear, that his bunk mate is his best friend and he has another really good friend that sleeps right next to him.  :)  I'm already looking forward to hearing from him in two weeks.  

My son is SHIP 12 Div 325. Still learning and anxious to hear from other Moms. Just got my first real phone call Sat 7/20/13. Made my day.

Hi annemai,

My son is Ship 12 Div 325 too.  It's hard not being able to talk to them on a daily basis. Miss him so much.  I hope our sons both are doing well.

Hi Everyone, I too am just signing up new. My son is in ship 12 div 325. We got a call this past Saturday. It was great to hear his voice. He said it's not as bad as he thought it would be at boot camp. That was nice to hear. Can't wait till PIR. He will be going to FT. Leonardwood, MO for A school- SeeBee EO anyone else heading there for A school?
