Hi Tammie....Our son is in that division!  Really looking forward to graduation.

Hello Everyone,

My daughter is in this Division, so happy to hear from her yesterday. shes was the one that who told me to sign up here. She was appointed as Medical /Dental Yoeman..( whatever that is ..sounds like a goffer to me! hahaha)

Does anyone know when we'll be receiving any information about their graduation? She told me they took individual photos the other day..

Have a great day

Patty...so glad to talk to someone in the same Div. My friend shipped out on the 16th. Her family got her Ship and Div, but no form letter yet.  How exciting.  Please upate on anything you hear from your son!! Did you get a mailing address? 
And yes, we are looking froward to graduation as well. It will be so exciting from all the video's I have watched....hope to keep in touch with you and meet you there! Smiles from Arkansas!!!

Tammy...We received the form letter on Friday .  It was very basic - but it was good to see his handwriting.  Can't wait to maybe get a real letter from him soon.  Our whole family is counting the days till graduation.  My son is going on to A school in Gulfport...how about your friend? 

She is scheduled to go to A school in Pensacola, FL. That is if nothing changes at basics. I am sure you were excited to see his handwriting. I can NOT wait to get word from our SR.  My boys have been writing her and my youngest has me adding to mine when he wants to tell her something...she is like a big sister to them. And with her gone things are a lot different around my house. Hopefully tomorrow they will get time while on holiday to write and we will hear from them by mid week.  Just to get confirmation of her mailing address, PIR date etc will be good to!!!

 

Hope you are having a nice weekend. The weather was beautiful here in So. Arkansas today and my boys loved being outside after the cold weather and snow we have had. Keep in touch Patty....drop me a line anytime...here or on facebook... Tammie Robinson Works!

 

Smiles from Arkansas ~ Tam

Morning Tammie.  Yes, things changed around our house too since my son left.  So much quieter and food stays in the frig a little longer :)  But seriously we miss him a whole bunch!!! Wouldn't you like to be a little mouse at boot camp and get to see what the SR's are doing?   I know they are fine and we will be so proud of them at graduation.   

 

 Hope your day is good!  We in Ohio are just getting over another snow storm...hope thats all the snow for the year!!!  I don't have a facebook page yet - even though my kids say I should set one up,  Keep in touch. 

I just received notice that my son is on Ship 9 Div 134.  I am greatful for the few lines they give them at the bottom of the page so they can give us some hope of their progress.  I have found this site to help me coop with the losing of our children and the returning of our Men and Women.  Sorry to hear about the snow storm in Ohio.  I have been enjoying 80 deg. Florida weather.  But if I was in Ohio I might have been able to go to PIR but as it stands there is not feasable way of doing that.

Hi Tammie & Patty,  I just got my son's form letter yesterday!  I was so excited!  He's on Ship 9, Div. 134 also.  He said things are crazy there, but that he's ok.  I can't wait for 4/15!

Good Morning all! So excited that you have recruits in the same division as my son.  Wonder how long before we actually get a letter from them.  It's so nice to be able to conect with others going through the same time frames as I am - the box, the form letter, etc.  The Ohio weather is so crazy - this morning we are dealing with flooding, since the snow is melting so quickly, and tornado warnings!!!  Gotta love Ohio!  Everyone take care and have a great Monday!

Good word from our sailors family they received her form letter yesterday!! It was so good to hear the words she wrote on the bottom of the letter. Can't wait to hear more about boot camp..now to plan a trip to IL!!!! Hope all the families and friends of Ship 9/Div 134 are doing well and hearing from their sailors!!!

Take care everyone...Tam

Yeah Tammy!!! So happy to hear that you heard from your recruit.  Isn' t it amazing that a few words can be so encouraging.  Hope all is well in Arkansas.

 

Hope all of the other Div 134 families are doing well. 

Yipee..I got our first real letter today.  It sounds like my son is doing fine.  He seems to like his RDC.  Can't believe he actually wrote...I'm so excited!!!
