Would love to chat with Mom of other SR's on Ship 03, Division 367!

So excited to find other loved ones with members in my daughters Ship/Div.  My daughter is a Nuke who was depped for 13.5 months, so this new reality of her actually being gone has been kind of hard.  She left on the 7th of September, but didn't arrive until the 8th due to flight issues.  Would love to hear the rating of others in the Ship/Div as some of our kids might be in it together for the long haul.

My daughter is a Nuke as well and in ship 3/div 367 :-)

 

Dawoman - How cool - our kids definitely know each other now....and hopefully friends since they have such a long journey together.  Did she have a preference between ET, EM or MM?  My daughter wants MM.
Ya know, I know she has told me but for the life of me, I can't remember right now.
Dawoman - LOL, well it doesn't really matter what they wished for as it is the need of the Navy that gives them their assignments.  I do hope, however, that she gets whichever she wanted.
what is a Nuke, I am unfamiliar with some of the terminology.
Marcia Shea's Mom - a Nuke is a Nuclear Engineer.  The manage the nuclear propulsion systems on either submarines or carriers.
My son is in Intellegence.  He was slated to go in January but was moved up.  Only had 6 weeks to prepare for this.  Super excited for him but miss him terribly. 
Jahill 370 - Wow, cool field.  CTR, CTI?  Kind of neat that he was able to leave early, but adjusting your expectations had to be hard.  I hope he does well!
Lizzie's Mom - I have no idea about the CTR ot CTI.  My son is not big on specifics.  I was glad he could go early and get his career started.  It feels super weird for him to not be a phone call away.  Congrats on your daughter being a Nuke :)  That is fabulous!

Hi all!

I got my letter! My daughter is in ship 3, Div 367, too. She is going into AIRR, Aviation Rescue Swimmer.

I found this site quite by accident. It's pretty cool to be able to connect to other family members. Just to play a joke, I sent Lena a card yesterday and wrote, "tell Lizzie I said Hi!" That ought to get them both wondering...lmao!

Did Lizzie get set back a week because of her flight delay? That was a long time to wait for a company!

Jimbo - wow, AIRR - very cool.  I don't know if my daughter's delay was the reason she was in this division, but I do know that another mom on the bootcamp mom's site said that he kid that arrived on the 13th was put in a divison that will PIR on the 4th.  So it makes no sense to me at all.  I had thought maybe there were a lot of other Nukes scheduled in her division or something and that is why.

Sounds like our kids are in very good company though, so I am happy about that.  So far in Ship 03/Div 367 I've seen AIRR, CTI/CTR, Seals, Nukes.....mostly kids with longer schoolings.  I wonder if that is by design.

If your daughter figures out who my daughter is, they will most likely realize that we've met here.  Hopefully we'll all be able to meet at PIR with our loved ones.
