You two are lucky to have found each other. I've not even found anyone in my son's division, much less his ship!

IInyMom, former 'Matt's Mom....'Capricorna...I think i'm getting the hang of this, maybe:) Yes, I found colorado connie and 900 div. how cool is that! have you received any calls yet? i recieved the 'box' last Tuesday, and from letter on Wednesday, no call yet, but while at the office on Tuesday, i missed call from unavailable number! I forgot to take my phone to the bathroom! i doubt it would be him less than a week there, but...who knows. Curious if any other 02/933 Mom's have heard from their sailors. Gosh i really miss him, if i could just speak to him, i'd feel much better. BTW- changed from my site name from Matt's Mom to Indy Mom..they said to not use your son/daugther name.

Capricorna- yes, i will be at the PIR! Wouldn't miss for anything. A freind of mine son's graduated same time last year. they stayed for weekend. Navy puts on big 4th weekend, she said is great and to enjoy; it is free. unless he has to leave the next day for next training, we're staying all weekend.

Hi IndyMom!
How cool is that that our kids were chosen for this special honor - a 900 group! My son has no band/choir/marching experience, so I can only guess he was picked because of his "stature" (straight and tall). I suspect there might be some pretty big bigwigs attending this (esp. because of the Navy Seals'... and Mrs. Obama and Biden's push for support of the military). It's a perfect photo op... Anyways, most of all I am looking forward to getting (or hearing about) the "I'm a sailor!" call more than anything. That's the important thing. My son was already out on his own for a couple of years, so I don't have the separation anxiety that some moms have. My son spent the last 2 mos with his dad, so dad got the call, box and form letter. I hope he graces me with a call eventually.
I plan on attending the Meet & Greet at the Ramada - will probably stay at the Residence Inn. I hear it is nicer.

So far, it is just IndyMom and me on this discussion group. I know that Linaka's SR is also Ship 02/Div 933, but she hasn't joined us yet. There is a Division 932 and I am guessing that it is the brother/sister division to 933.
There was a neat article ("blog"?) that I found written by a gal who gave lots of detail about her experience in boot camp. You can read it at:
