HI from Kentucky! My middle son is in DIV 952; received the letter on Friday. Today is 2-1 day. The fun begins... Only problem is his guest list for PIR (we practived this before he left). He listed "MOM', "DAD", his sister's first name, but his girlfriend's full name. Since our photo IDs don't read "MOM" and "DAD", I have written & asked him to correct them so we will be admitted. Lots of details to remember. Wonder if he'll write back? I was a Navy wife 23 years ago, just didn't do this BC thing and it sounds like things have changed a lot. Hang in there, it gets easier!

Hi caretersmom. Just wondering how you know that today was 2-1. I was thinking that today was 1-4

I am so very new to this. But I believe my sons Ship 02 Div 952 matches your SR info? My SR made the same mistake listing mom, dad, etc. so I will write him as well. So today is 2-1. Does that mean week 2 day 1? Why is that important to know? So next Monday would be week 3 day 1? Holy cow I feel out of the loop. Don't know what parents who haven't found this site do?

My son is also Ship 02, Div 952. My son listed us the same way in the form letter. From what I've heard, the SRs will finalize the full names to submit in a few weeks, so don't worry! I received an "official" call from my son today....his rating is intelligence and they needed additional information for his security clearance. He said they have not yet received any mail, but expect to at the end of the week. He said that Sunday (the 29th) they will have an opportunity to write letters. He said they are working hard. He will be carrying a flag at graduation, as well as the 2 graduations before. All the SRs in 952 will have some part in the two graduations prior to there's, so pics may be posted on fb so we may get to see our kids!!!

That's so exciting I just want to hear from my son to hear how it's going! A letter or phone call! I'm not picky!!

Hi ggcmom. They didn't have a chance to write letters this past Sunday? The family was really looking forward to a letter this week. No call and no letter that's disappointing

This is making more sense all the time. My son called today asking for help with his references. He is also going into intelligence, and needs a higher security rating. It's those ah ah moments that make his sight so useful!

Vikingmom: from what my son told me, because he is going into intelligence, they need the highest security clearance and I will probably hear from him more often than normal because as they go through the clearance process, questions will come up and they will need to call for answers. Keep your phone with you all the time -- I take mine to the bathroom with me!

Hi Gavinsmom. I posted in the main group that my boyfriend called me tonight on an unofficial call. He sounded well so I'm not worried about them at all I think they are doing okay there. I asked if he would be able to call tomorrow he said no. Im still going to keep my phone me just in case though
