Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 11, 2011 at 4:48pm: I dont mind being an admin I am on here all the time..they only problem is that I am a newbie to this process!

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 11, 2011 at 2:46pm: Navyhubby- I have found it very theraputic to write everyday a few times if needed. I use it like a journal! As a mom I know they more she gets from her daughter the happier she will be!!

This group has been so hlepful to me and my son has only been gone...not even a week yet! log in any time and vent or ask for advice...we are all here and expiriencing the same thing you are!! We are all here for eachother!!

Comment by NavyHubby81(Ship 02 Div 929) on April 11, 2011 at 2:43pm: I know that she will be in a 900 division.. just not sure where to send mail yet

Comment by wildcats92 on April 11, 2011 at 2:42pm: Just called my daughters recruiter and got her ship number and division. I feel so much better now there is a way to communicate with her. For any that left on 4/5/11, and have not received their letters yet, try calling the recruiter for their info.

Comment by NavyHubby81(Ship 02 Div 929) on April 11, 2011 at 2:41pm: LisaB... My heartache is terrible. I miss her so much already and our daughter is so young that it is difficult to help her understand what is happening. I was hoping that my wife would be in the 5/27 group.. but as this is going I can tell that is not the case. I hope we can sorda lean on each other here as we have no family in the area (my family 2 hours away and hers in Chicago 4 hours away) to help ease the stress and heartache. I already have 7 letters ready to go with pics and hand drawn cards from the little one.

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 11, 2011 at 2:34pm: LisaB can you add a countdown clock to this group like the 5.27 group has? It is pretty cool! I am going to download the same thing to my laptop as well!

Comment by Richelle(Nuke Wife)Ship2 Div929 on April 11, 2011 at 2:28pm: Oh and the bootcamp website i gave you below updates grad dates every monday. But its not hard to figure out when the date will be if you follow the previous dates listed

Comment by Richelle(Nuke Wife)Ship2 Div929 on April 11, 2011 at 2:27pm: Navyhubby you should have your formal letter by wednesday. If not wednesday than friday for sure. My sil got her husbands 8 days after he left.

Also check out bootcamp.navy.mil

drop box families then click upcoming graduations and look for her division.

if you dont know her division you can contact her recruiter or just wait til you get the formal letter and everything you need to know will be on it!

Hope that helps.

As for Z's girl it can take up to 3 weeks for the person in your bfs division to get trained to do the mail so you could run into a hold on his letters being sent in. (COULD not ALWAYS)

and as for phone calls they should be getting a phone call around week 3 which is when they get to go to the NEX. Unless they are hurt, or their division earned a phone call you will more than likely not hear from him until week 3 :)

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 11, 2011 at 2:26pm: Not yet...for a time line for myself My son left on Tuesday April 5th on the plane to BC, then I got the "Recruit in a Box" on Friday, but no letter as of today.

On the PIR 5/27/2011 group one of the parents had a really great idea to change your VM on your phone. Just in case you miss that all important call from your son/daughter/wife/hubby...whoever....then at least they will get to hear a message from you directly for them!! I thought this was a really great idea!! I changed mine already! I know none of us want to miss it and we are all living for the call, but life happens!!
