Comment by Sailormom21811 on March 3, 2011 at 4:23pm: I promoted us to Alumni in our name...hope that is ok with everyone. We earned it!!! Now, how do we address our sailors now? Before they had SR before their name. Anyone know? I want to send something in to our paper and am not sure how to write it. Thanks! My best to everyone.

Comment by MariaM on March 1, 2011 at 9:53pm: Hi girls!!! To see some of our sailors together...I wish this Division would stay together.....they are so Special, each and everyone...and for us was the same.

Maria

Comment by WhiteClay Ship 2 Div 913 on February 27, 2011 at 7:01pm: Hey everyone! Our son is settled into an old barracks that is scheduled to be demolished soon, and then they'll move into the permanent one. His room is next to Blessedw2's son, and they hung out together yesterday. We just got off the phone with him (85 min) and he seems really good. His final orders came on Friday and he's FC not ET. This means he'll be done at Great Lakes end of August instead of October, and after leave (hopefully) will either go to C school or a fleet, depending on what the Navy needs & decides! Graduation weekend was amazing, and I think I'm finally recovered! Still have great memories of us sharing info on this site, and hope your sailors are all settling into the next phase. Stay in touch!

Comment by MariaM on February 26, 2011 at 10:43pm: Girls, miss you!!!!!!!!!!!

I know this has been another week!!! but when I look back..wow what a journey!

Just add a couple pictures of our wonderful Division 913.

Stay in touch!!!

Love and Hugs,

MariaM

Comment by Sailormom21811 on February 24, 2011 at 1:11am: Hi to all and WOW, wasn't it GREAT!!!! I was so sorry that we didn't make it to m&g. Our plane got in late and we still had to drive from Milwaukee. I kept thinking it would be easy to spot and meet at the PIR...but, there were SO MANY pink scarves!

The PIR was the most wonderful and emotional experience! I am so proud of our son, and now, our Sailor! The weekend was terrific and I was so impressed with the man he has become. I also enjoyed meeting his new friends. He is moving to the Base in GL, across the street, where he will start A school, for ET. I am anxious to hear about this new phase as he gets started next week...if all goes as planned. It was such an emotional weekend and leaving was really sad. Again, we face the unknown...but, part of his new chosen path which we will support with pride and love. I look forward to being "connected" with phone and internet and not at the mercy of snail mail!

I wish the best for you and your Sailors. I hope we will all continue to talk and support each other. I couldn't have made it without my new friends! God bless you all!

Comment by sherrys on February 23, 2011 at 5:51pm: Thank you so much ladies for all the support. We enjoyed the time with our sailor and getting to meet so many families - from so many locations. While eating breakfast one morning there was 4 sets of parents from Div. 913 sitting together in this small little space. What a great surprise and pleasure. Good luck to all our sailors during A school. God Bless.

Comment by usapaula (ship 02 div 913) on February 23, 2011 at 12:29pm: Hi, everyone. So nice to meet Whiteclay, Hankjr and Cajundr.It was so funny that Whiteclays son was standing on the balcony and recognized our family right away!

We also missed the meet and great due to awful traffic in Chicago and I thought the San Francisco BayArea traffic was bad!

Now he has a minimum of 100 days in Pensacola, at least he will have modern technology to keep intouch.

Take care everyone!!

Comment by WhiteClay Ship 2 Div 913 on February 22, 2011 at 6:33pm: Hi girls! It was good to meet Darnell, Julie, Sherri, Norma, kellroy, Maria & Paula, although briefly. Very sorry I didn't see Blessedw2 and NavyMomX's 2. I assume Hankjrfan was there? We had 2 extra recruits with us on Friday after grad, and then Sat AM because they didn't have family there for them. It was a wonderful weekend...and I appreciate the support we had for each other throughout the past 10 weeks. Take care everybody!

Comment by julie067 on February 22, 2011 at 6:26pm: Maria, do you have facebook? We were unable to go to the meet and greet due to a traffic jam in Chicago. However, you were sitting in the balconey across from me. I hope you enjoyed your time with your son. I did see White Clay and Kelly, just for a very short visit. I think we were all ready to see our kids!!
