Hi Gwenji77! Welcome to our group!
WOO HOO another Mom from my son's division and not only that but a Nuke Mom too! My son has said that there are 7 other Nukes in his division and you are the first one I've met. My son is also going to GC after BC. So glad you have found our group. We are getting so close to PIR now and the anticipation is building!

Seems like a lot of the recruits are going on to Nuke school wow that's awesome. I bet my son feels left out a tad, lol he seems like the only that will be going to another A School besides Florida. He wanted to be a corpsman but they put him into the SeaBees, (Engineering) I am praying he will like it as that was not his choice at all. But if he can get his college out of the way while doing the Seabees, he can always change into another job. Hope to see you all at the meet and great on Thursday night before Graduation. So excited. Miss my boy so much.

Momship11div268...I bet your son will enjoy his rating once he gets there. SeaBees are COOL and get to do all kinds of interesting stuff. I'm sure that you will find others with the same rating as your son. Have you asked him if he knows any others going to SeaBee A-school in his division?
Can't wait for all of us to meet on Thursday night! We are so close and our SRs are working hard to complete this transition into US Navy Sailors. We're going to make it just like they are!

Have you joined the group on N4M for your son's rating yet? If you haven't, here's the link: SeaBee Moms Maybe it will help you find other Moms who can support you and help you find other Moms that might even be part of our PIR group.

I wish I could do the trivia contest. I'm usually at work during that time and never seem to be able to catch the question in time and don't have the resources to look up answers :( I don't know who won today, but it sure would be nice if it was from our divisions.

Are you all getting SUPER EXCITED???? I know I sure am! Even though the anticipation is killing me. Can we just skip to ahead a few days??? Every day I wake up and prayer real hard for my SR and all the others that are training there. My SR is ALWAYS on my mind, every minute of every day and I just pray that everyone will make it through BS and become Sailors.
Have you all started figuring out what you will pack to wear? That is the hardest part?? I know what I'm wearing to PIR, but it's going to be so hard to figure out what else to wear the rest of the trip. I hear the weather is supposed to be in the mid 70s and there is always a cool breeze coming off of Lake Michigan. Coming from a state that can be fickle, I think I will master the art of layering for this trip. LOL
Hope you all are hanging in there and keep your Blue Candles lit and keep praying for our SRs. PIR will be here before we know it!

Let's work as a team when BS happens. I have this terrible gut feeling that my SR will have watch duty when they get to make their "I'm a Sailor" call. He has missed two other phone calls because of watch duty.
So PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, when your SR calls, ask if everyone in their division and brother division passed. It will mean so much to those who might not get that special phone call. I will DIE if he doesn't get to make that call, but at least I will feel slightly better if I know my SR passed BS.
