Hello. We finally got our letter and a call today! We missed his 1st call. But we are ship 9 Division 244. We are going to head to the GL Aug 5th. If any mom's or family can't make it to graduation day I am more than willing to help get items to them or help with communication. Excited for our sons journey.

So how is everyone's SR doing? I've gotten three phone calls. But they are so quick I have trouble remembering what he has told me. Anyone else getting info about their division? He is in Div 244.

Good morning everyone! My son, Taylor is on USS JFK Div 243. He was selected as a section leader since the second day of bootcamp and as of July 3rd the last time I spoke with him he still had the position. He told me that with one mistake you loose the position so another can try. Seems fair and it will be interesting if he can keep it.
I haven't had any mail since June 23rd and am hopeful to receive some soon. It is all good as I know he's fine and doing what he loves to do....but a letter does make the day shine brighter!
How is everyone doing?
Taylor's mom

Taylor's mom, thanks for your response. That's great that he was selected as section leader and still holds the position! I'm sure that makes you proud! I haven't had any mail since the end of June either.

Hey guys, Morgan says they are working on the ship now. She has had a bad cold but went to the medic and is feeling much better. Just got the 2nd haircut...wants to lose the "soccer mom" look! (HA!)
She just loves her training! She is really excited about getting into the cool stuff!! We plan to come to PIR.
