I sent my son's letters with an incorrect format on the address. I put his last name, first initial only. I didn't put his full name. We have a very unusual last name and I am certain there are none others with the same last name. Do you think he will still receive his letters? We are worried.

When I finally received my letter from my son Ship 14 DIV 046 ... I went running into the house screaming and scared the living daylights out of my husband ... he was in the back of the house and all he heard was my screaming. My letter did not arrive until last Friday. Hope you all get letters soon.

In his letter to his sister, my son wrote that he, "didn't have much time before his next a** kicking," so he had to keep the letter short. Then he went on to say it really wasn't that bad.

My son is on ship 14, div 045. I've received one letter. He said boot camp is hard but he made the right decision. I'm trying to schedule my flight. I wonder if we should leave on Saturday night or Sunday morning. Don't we get the day after the graduation with our son? Thanks for any information!

If your son stays in GL for A School, you have weekend daytime with him through Sunday. If flying out, it most likely will be the day after PIR. They are bussed to the airports very early in the morning (like 1 or 2 a.m.) to wait for flights. You are welcome to go to the airports and wait with them, even getting an airlines gate pass so you can wait at the gate with your sailor until he/she leaves. So we suggest that you all do not fly home before Sunday.

My son is Nuke and will go to A school in Charleston, SC. I was told Nukes are "grad and go". Do you know if this is true?

Got 5 letters yesterday from my girl. She called today, and at first couldn't speak, holding back the tears. But then she was fine. She wants us to come to GL for Christmas but she knows that we can't do both Christmas and Graduation. She is really good friends with a SR female named Burroughs. Apparently, her friend's mom is paralyzed and in a wheelchair and can't go up for Christmas. I hope she can go to her daughter's graduation. My daughter is hoping that if she has to stay with a family for Christmas, she hopes they can be together. My daughter also told me that another SR from Div 045 came to look for her and introduce herself and it just so happens that her mom and I traded comments to each other a while back. Her mom told her about my daughter and she went looking. I wish I could remember which mom it was that I was talking too about our girls!!! Amazing, the powers of our Group! My SR says she gets my letters within 2 to 3 days after I mail them, but she only can mail out about every 10 days. At least she is getting hers faster, so she feels close to her family. Things are great in Santa Fe, Texas today!!!!!!!!! :-)

I got a call from my boy on Friday as well. I thought my heart would explode from the joy! He isn't feeling 100%, but said he is happy and loving the challenge of bootcamp. He sounded truly wonderful. He is getting all day Saturday/Sunday after PIR to spend with us and then he leaves for Port Huemene for Seabee A school on Monday, Jan 7 He said that the guy in the bunk right below him is also a Seabee going to Port Huemene. Anybody have a son/daughter from this division going to A school in Port H?
