Christy, I was having the same problem and called the Public Affairs office. They had sent out the wrong password. They gave me the new one and everything worked!
Hello Navy Moms, My son is on Ship 12 Div 129. I received a call from my son today 3/14 at 6:59pm. My energy and happiness returned in that moment. I was sooo Happy. He called to tell me the Gate Password changed when they changed the graduation date from 3/29 to 3/22. I asked why hadn't he called in awhile or wrote me, he said that he was doing good but in their division their teamwork hadn't been doing to good. Since the team wasn't doing good everyone had consequences. But they've improved and are all doing better as a team. They've taken 2 of the main written test already, completed the fire test and he did tell me he had been in the "Gas" chamber. They passed their inspection and they will be taking their PT test soon and their last written test. Then..... Battle Station 21 next week. He said that today was 6-4. He did state that he had received all of my letters and could tell by the dates that he was receiving them much later than when they were written. Not sure if this was part of their team punishment or just their processing of mail is slow. He asked to hold off until after graduation before sending anymore letters because he doesn't have much space. He requested books, his cell phone, and a couple pair of jeans. I asked if he wanted shirts he told me no (thought that was strange) his A-School will be in Great Lakes. The Brother Division is made up of both Male and Female recruits. God Bless Everyone! Send a special thank you to your SR's for Serving our Country. Be safe, stay hopeful and Congrats to your future Sailor.
