I have been spending lots of time with my Sailor. She is home on leave and it is so good to see her. I probably won't get to see her again until I go visit her when it is time for the baby to be born <3 We are so excited to meet Eastyn in about 8 more weeks :)

Greetings. I was told by recruiter (haven't rcvd form letter) that my SR is Div 265Ship 9. Can I verify or just wait?  We are native Illini, stok'd that fam & friends will see him. presently live in MS. any Mississippians out there.  SRs dad is Army, so we've moved around a bit.  So he fits right in with those who want to see the world. He's MM. Full steam ahead. Grace & Peace to all SRs and families.

Hi everyone,

I was looking at a gift for Sean for graduation and know I saw a discussion on the boot camp group but needed to find out which watch is the best with their uniforms. I know I can find it at Walmart but not sure the brand. If anyone can help that would be great thank you.

AuntieMel  They will remove the wisdom teeth if they think there is any chance they could cause issues when your sailor is deployed....many have them removed, some are "watched" through A School (may be done there), and some are ok.  Others already had them out before bootcamp!  That was the case with my son.

If anyone else calls Navy Lodge to book, please ask if you still need to book in your newly graduated sailor's name if a non-military family, because like ellen said, that is always the way it has been in the past.  We want to make sure we are passing out correct info! 

proudofmysons:  Dip those carrot/celery sticks in "melted chocolate!"  Hmmmm!

Deanna:  Here are the hotels that we have received the most positive feedback on in the past few years:

Navy Lodge (close and economical)

Springhill Suites Waukegan

Courtyard Inn Waukegan

Residence Inn Waukegan

Holiday Inn Express Waukegan

Ask for the Navy Graduation rate at all of these hotels.

All of these Waukegan hotels are about 4 miles from RTC and either use the local PIR shuttle service or you can use Sarge's service. They are also close to Sarge's MeetandGreet, held the night before PIR.

Sigh....I see that ellen is misbehaving again, using her emotion icons to stick "her" tongue out at me....into the corner for her!  :-)

The Navy Lodge may have changed their policy on your SRs name when making the reservation, it has been a year since I have been there. The $66 rate is the discounted rate I paid a year ago, so...

Hello Friends,

      Do not fear; I will help you."
