Thanks for the add ladies!
My daughter is Ship 14 Div 074 so I hope to meet some of you at PIR. She's going to TX for A-School. We've only gotten 2 letters each (hubby and I) and one phone call since she left.
Hoping it doesn't snow too much in and out of ORD. :) -

Hello everyone! Hope you and your recruits are doing well!! Does anyone know how & what they are doing this week? My last call was Dec 26 and I got 2 letters last week. He said they would be busy getting ready for firing range and battlestations and also got the Mail PO job which is what he was wanting! :) So I figured between all that is going on he has been really busy, just curious if anyone has heard anything?

Mine had his wisdom teeth taken out a few weeks ago. As a mom I thought why am I finding out about it after the fact.. I wanted to nurse him back to health like I did for my daughter. As a future Sailor, they took out his teeth, gave him some meds and sent him back to his ship. It wasnt a big deal for him. He did not make a call prior or after. I am slowly getting used to all this not knowing stuff. When he is on a sub, I wont know a lot for a long period of time. Boot camp is training for the family as well as my son.
This past Wed was the first one since he left that I did not get a letter. I know he is probably busy so I am using the no news is good news rule here.
Hope to meet everyone soon!!

I dont know if my son had his out or not but guess I will find out soon. I got a call yesterday to gather info for him for his security check to get his clearance before A-school. It was good to hear his voice and can't wait to give him a big ole hug!

Good Morning! I received a call last night from my SR but it was the one to get more info for security clearance so it was scripted and not what I would call a regular call. In his words...we had to keep it professional but I did get in how are you doing and a couple of love you very much. He sounded good tho. Hope you get on soon even if it has to be kept 'professional' because just that little bit of contact was better than no contact! Just hang in there cause we only have 11 more days!! Yeah!!!!
