Comment by Tracie (Lititz, PA) on September 2, 2010 at 10:34pm: DanaMN - I'll message you my son's name. Glad to hear your son's shy also. Mine insists he's not but the kid who goes to the movies in the afternoon because no one is there now has dozens of roommates!! Wonder how he's doing with that :)

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 2, 2010 at 9:33pm: OK... 343ers... I f you haven't Private Messaged me with your recruits real name, you need to (if you want of course.... no pressure!) so I can put it in my letter to my son tomorrow. I tell him whenever I meet another mom... so he can search out the kid... not sure if he will.. he's kinda shy... but I hope he does. You moms are all so great I want him to meet your kids!

I bet my mom wishes she had the internet when I went to boot camp!

Comment by LoveUDrew/Ship12/Div343/PIR10/15 on September 2, 2010 at 9:29pm: Tracie.....Welcome. Our kids are in the same division. Don't feel bad I haven't done any pictures yet. I'm a cartoon character!! FYI..no letter or call yet either. Just the little 3 liner military issue Dear Mom Letter. I'll take it for now.

Desiress Mom, its all good doesn't matter what division, we can all still meet!!

Comment by Tracye** Diva Rambo** on September 2, 2010 at 9:04pm: Have ya'll noticed there just aren't many Div 346 people in here? Where are they?

Comment by Tracie (Lititz, PA) on September 2, 2010 at 8:59pm: LOL - I need to get some new pictures! My recruit is the one on the left looking like he just got off leave!

Comment by Tracie (Lititz, PA) on September 2, 2010 at 8:49pm: DanaMN - Thanks for the welcome. I am so proud of all of these kids! Hopefully a letter or call will come soon. I know he's in good hands. Think of all the great stories we're going to hear in just a few short weeks!

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 2, 2010 at 8:25pm: MeganMcK- thinking of you, too! Keepin' our fingers crossed for call & letters! :)

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 2, 2010 at 8:24pm: Justinsmom - Yeoman do a variety of clerical type jobs. I would say they would be like an Administrative Assistant or an Office Manager. It's another great job in the Navy - there's a lot of paperwork and a LOT of people to keep track of! I'm sure he'll learn some good skills he can put to use in the civilian world, too! :)

The Navy, like an other service, has certain jobs that need filled at different times. They keep track of how many people do what jobs and they try to not have too many of a certain Rate.

I believe that the Navy is the only service that recruits know what job they'll do before boot camp. I think in the other services, you find out after you graduate from basic training. That's kind of cool, right? I ♥ US NAVY. :)
