Good morning~ It is such a wonderful feeling what our kids are doing. We should be so proud of all of them. I did mention my oldest went in June 2012. You are right about letters. Loved Thursdays. That's when I would get mine. I think depending where you live, some loved Wednesdays. I live in CA. They should have wrote last Sunday. Crossing fingers we get something today. The divisions usally start with about 88 SR's. Unfortunately they will probably lose a few. When my oldest went in, he got along with everyone but did mention that there are a lot of different backrounds and have different additudes. Especially the younger ones that need to mature a little. They need to put egos aside and learn to work as a team. Don't worry. That will happen. My son's name is Joseph (Joe) but they may not even know their first names. My oldest still refers to his friends in there by last name and don't even know their first. HAHA!

My sons name is Joven! He is 20 so I'm hoping he's "ego free" for the sake of the group and thankfully hes always been on the mature side! I wrote him first thing this morning, did my own questionaire, hoping to get some answers.....he's all the things I mentioned above and more but also forthcoming with the info! Its wonderful that we have someone here who has done this all before, very helpful, Thanks!

Both my boys didn't go in right after high school. My oldest went in at 22 and went to college for 2 1/2 years. My youngest is 19, graduated 2012. Went to fire academy and college for 1 1/2. I wish he waited at least another year but he was ready. I hope their divisions will come together quickly. I can't wait to hear their stories.

SorinMom, they all feel the same way. When my son called yesterday, I told him he sound good and positive. His response was it sucks in there but he was trying to stay strong because that's what I told him before he left. Now that broke my heart. He also got strep and the flu the 2nd day he got there. They all get sick. Send positive letters. I pray your son will get through this. This is definitely a graduation you don't want to miss. It is remarkable and I cant believe I get to experience it again. My oldest son had 14 divisions at his PIR. 1,010 sailors. It was incredible. I hope you can make it.
