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

Heather: Any changes in your husband will be GOOD changes...I promise! And remember...being separated from him now will prepare you for his deployments. Your time together will be even sweeter when he gets back!

Misha,,,-sorry I just saw what you posted... LOL.....

Only he will know, Cin. It may be a little early for him to know yet, but ask in a letter. Also, remember....even if he is GradNGo, if he flies out, you will be able to spend time at the airport with him on Sat. (unless he is on a charter...sometimes they are). So don't book your return flight too early or you will miss time with him.

Cin-sometime they wont know if they are G & G till closer to PIR and some know since now, so you will have to hear from your recruit once he finds out.
Heather-glad you found us,,, we know there are SO MANY moms, wives, sisters, grandmas and family out there who do not know about us. But again welcome and look forward to meeting you at PIR. I looked for the scarf colors that was posted but did not dind it yet.

I'm not sure if this was already answered but how do I know if my recruit is a grad n go? He hasn't said anything yet. I want to make reservations and book my flight but I need to make sure first.
Also, has anyone else recieved the "packet" on getting a military id card? I called his recruiters here but they haven't responded..I'm not sure what to do with it.

Hi Ladies! My name is Heather, My husband left for Basic on 12/13 his grad date is 2/11. He is Ship 09 Div 074 I am feeling lost with this stuff. I have not gotten any letters, just got the pre written fill in the blank letter with his address, grad date and a few lines he wrote me on the bottom of the last page....
its so great that some of you have gotten calls! I wish I was so lucky.
I must say this has been alot harder than I thought it was going to be. in the 5 years we have been together we have not been apart more than a week! Its not that I am so dependent on him I cant get by, its just that I feel like I lost my best friend. I am so scared of basic changing him.... I write to him everyday!
Anyway, my act was just approved so I thought I'd say "Hello"
