This is the final test for your recruits. When they pass this, they are sailors and trade in their recruit cap for their sailor cap in a capping ceremony afterwards. The ship they do this on was designed by Disney, so it is very realistic. During…Continue

Josh'smom that is great there is finally starting to be some contact heard from div 071 haha it has been like they were on the dark side of the moon. Since you are in Ohio and got a letter yesterday perhaps we will get one soon here in New Hampshire. The only way I have been able to find out anything is through this web site. Thanks.

SailorsWife'10 Thanks so much, my son is in Ship 09 Div 071 too: that explains why I have not gotten a phone call 24 days after my son arrived. I have not gotten a single letter either after the form letter. But maybe tomorrow... That is sad that a few knuckleheads in the division ruin it for the rest. Everyone suffers for a few. My guy will turn 21 one month from today, in boot camp. But you know, better to at least have an explanation like the whole division is being punished ... that is better than thinking he is sick, or being singled out, or something like that.

2 letters today...1 for me and 1 for his Dad although he addressed the envelope to Mom and Dad! He told his Dad "with all the money you are saving with me gone you should buy a snowmobile to get away from Mom once and awhile but don't tell Mom I said that"....hahahaha like I wouldn't read that letter!!!! I know I am a menopausal Mommy missing her boy :) Had his teeth out too and they weren't bothering him too bad. He hates it but knows it is not much longer until graduation! He misses us and can't wait to go have pizza after graduation! I sure miss that boy!!!

2 LETTER FOR ME TODAY! My husband got his wisdom teeth out and said he looked like a squirrel for a while, but definitely enjoyed the day and a half he got to enjoy in bed. He's doing good, was pretty upbeat through both letters except about the holidays. He said it was really hard on him and he could only imagine how hard it was on me, and of course that made me cry! He said everyone is looking really spiffy in their blue camo! Also said that phone calls are a no go do to being in a division with kids still acting like their in high school! That makes him quite angry.. For the most part most of them are coming together as a division. I'm very happy! Plus I got my military ID today, I had to redo my makeup after I got his letters though. :)

Hey all!
I found a few on the RTC home page that had posted comments regarding various things,, since it is on FB, I sent them a message to spred the word of N4M's. ;) I figured that is the only way to get the word out and you cannot post that on the wall of the RTC page due to it being advertising. One just signed up and she will be in Division 69 and it is her finance.. I dont know her screen name yet but she is going to look for us when she gets approved. I also found another 804 mom and waiting for responses from the others.. so yes I am using my free time to recruit more !!!!!!
