My daughter called me today and I received a letter yesterday - Praise the Lord!!! I believed she was doing well but just wanted to hear her voice!!! She is on Ship 09 USS JFK - she is my only daughter (she has 5 bros) and the only one in the armed services. She joined on her own, so I am just too proud of her and the decisions she has made up to this far in her life. She says she loves her shipmates, so hope we family members can get to know each other until the 4/26/13 graduation.

Hi, I am new to this group - better later than never! Watching the email posts is raising questions for me and I am hoping you can clarify.
Do you know when Battleship is for division165/166? My son is in 166. I thought it was two days before graduation.
I also thought their cap ceremony was after battleship. Then I saw posts, via email that I can't locate on this thread about the cap thing being today. I was expecting to get a call tomorrow or wednesday.
Did others get calls today? I saw that someone got a call today. I am starting to think I am all mixed up.
I also noticed people posting about the color of tee shirts - is there something we are supposed to do for our recruit? Hope I am not being nosey!
The good news isi have the underwear packed - I knew that would be an issue!!!
Thank you!!! -

did anyone from Ship 9/division 166 hear from their recruit yet? Should I say sailor?

should we be worried? If they did BS last night would they call today or is it possible they didn't do BS yet?
Just worried something went wrong..... this is making me anxious :o)

I guess the good news is that none of us got calls :o)

Another question.... I keep seeing that they are allowed 4 guests. When we got the form letter from my son there was a black line through the 4th line for a guest. Did something change since the original number we were told i.e. 3? If so, is it too late to bring the 4th guest? how would you do it? Figure its worth asking ..... Thanks
