Katie Mom - is your SR on ship 13 div 225? My son continues to express aggravation because there's some that continue to chatter and they keep getting into trouble. He said they've had IE (I believe) 6 times because of those that won't be quiet. I've told him the same thing as you did. Make sure you remember your dream and continue to do your best. Hopefully, they can get it together in time for battle stations.

Good Morning all, I am shocked to see that we are 29 days and counting. Been through a really tough week and a half with the unexpected passing of my brother who was only 50 :-(. This took my mind completely off my daughter and what she may be going through although I kept writing her letters, I didn't want her to go without. Also made me miss her more than anything as she has always been a source of comfort whenever I needed it and not being able to talk to her through this time has been very challenging. I am doing my best to focus on seeing her at PIR and cherishing every moment we have together regardless of how short.
Wishing everyone a great day especially knowing how close we are getting to seeing our babies.

Remember that Bootcamp weeks and training weeks are not the same....processing days can take from a few days for a SR up to 2 weeks for some, and those happened when they arrived---so Bootcamp weeks are a bit ahead of Training weeks. They PIR during Training week 7, so you can count back from there to see when Training week 4 is (Hell week). Looks like most divisions will be in it next week. Some of the lower numbered divisions will be finishing training week 6 around July 16th/17th, and then doing BattleStations, their final test.
Yes, I agree with CatMom. We keep SRs' last names off of the public pages here but you can private message the info on this site!
Good Morning!

Is it ok for me to ask other moms their son"a names. If they're on my friends list.. Just would like to connect with other moms he's become buddies with if they're moms are on here.
What matters is that the 76 left are all in this together. Go Navy"... Go Ship 03.. Go Division 230!!

I got my call today..at work so not as long as I would have wanted but he did talk about "hits". And the ones that matter are the ones coming up (I forget how he referred to them) but they must be the ones coming up during "hell week". He didn't use that term but I know he's taking it seriously and he wants his division to do well. I know he's getting discouraged about the chatter that is going on when it shouldn't. I just encouraged him to keep doing the "right thing". Just keep acting like a Sailor! I let him know how proud I am of him and that he has chosen "like minded SR's as buddies.
I'm sure they still all have a lot of training ahead of them. And to encourage others to do the same. I keep hearing these statements coming from him that make me realize how far he's come!
Most of all I let him now how proud we are of him!
He said there's a letter on the way!!
He said KEEP THE MAIL COMING! Good luck to all your moms that get that call today.
30 days!!!! WOOHOO,

My SR called tonight and that he won't be able to call for next couple of weeks because they will be going through hell week. He's doing so much better. I'm so proud of him.
