Hello all!
My son is DIV 242. He will be IT. I hope that those of us can join together and stay motivated and prayed up until we see our SRs again. I did receive a phone call today about security clearance references, which was such a surprise. My husband was even home for lunch, so he got to speak to our son. We did get a chance to talk to him and he is doing great. I am looking forward to meeting you all.

Bronco: It is possible that they had their first letters home collected this past Sunday...mailed out yesterday. If so, you all will start having your expected "mail" day. And....they will now receive mail M-F. But they can only mail out on Mondays.
Ahhhhh, IslandGal: I know your tears were both happy to hear his voice on the message and sad to miss him! But glad you still had that message!

So had to listen to some old voice mails today to get to a current one...the first was from my son on my birthday ...boy did the elephant tears come! So be careful, don't listen to old saved messages without Kleenex!

Has anyone gotten a personal letter from their sailor yet? I am crossing my fingers for one tomorrow. This past Sunday was likely the first day they had available to write, right? I can't wait to get this letter thing going! haha

prdofmyfabs,Where they are going for A School will depend on their rating (job). Some A Schools are in GL, and some have a rating that will keep them in GL for some "pre" before moving to A School, but most do not.
What is your recruits rating (job).

Thank you all for the heads up regarding the surprise phone call! I was getting worried because we had not received the arrival call and had not heard anything yet, so I stayed home all day Sunday and was very grateful to have been there to answer when my son called :). He is in div 936 ship 02. We are in CT and have just found tix from LGA to ORD for $197 on AA for 7/16-18 if anyone is heading from the east coast.

Depends on what he is doing. I believe. My son will go to Pensacola Florida

I finally received my letter yesterday and his PIR date is 7/17 so I am in the right group. I do have a question... when do we know for sure where they are going for A school. His recruiter didn't give us much info so I am a bit lost. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Rita 2912, welcome! Thank you beyond words for your prayers for all of our young men and women. I'm new to this, learning lots every day. Reading previous comments and recommendations of links has helped tremendously. Listening to music, The Prayer, at the moment which of course makes me tear up but is good, too:
I pray you'll be our eyes.
And watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise
In times when don't know,
Let this be our prayer,
when we lose our way,
lead us to the place,
guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.
