Does anyone have a girl in this group? Ship 10/ Div. 265? I was curious if their group is coed? My mind races with questions that I have no answers for.

When my son, Anthony, left for bootcamp there was one girl in this division. I believe her last name was Jones. My husband has been on the navyfordads site and thinks her mom has posted on there, but he's not sure if it's the same person or not. He flew out of Shreveport, LA. I just found this site (there's nothing slow about me!) lol I'm just ready for graduation but it won't be long now!

Our son flew from Portland as well, on 6/22. His name is Anthony. Have not received a letter from him yet :( other than the form letter after his box. I think we will be staying at the Residence Inn. We have not booked flights or a car yet. Looks like SW airlines is least expensive, and flys into Midway. However they are all expensive ifyou have to get flex or refundable. We are going to wait a few more weeks to make sure our PIR doesn't change, then book non-refundable. Hopefully we can get to the Ramada for a meet and greet.

Hi Martha, I was wondering the same thing...about Matthew and Anthony being bunkmates. Did he take his oath on the 22nd at Portland MEPS? I recorded it on my camera and posted it on my Facebook. We will probably go SW air as well, and fly into Midway. A bit further south from base, and Ohare, but cannot beat the $. I am counting down the days!

Hi Ladies - My son also left Portland on the 22nd. I have some pictures as well and could bring copies to the meet and greet if you would like.

I tried to save the video of the Oath on my page here, but it was too big. It is about 6 minutes long. It's on my facebook though. Search FB for Kathy Pregnall...request to friend me so I know who you are. I will accept and then you can see the video. It's too long to email too :(
