Have you heard from your daughter or son? My daughter is in Div 300 and she sounds good, but tired. Interesting in hearing how your daughter or son is doing.

Lydia my daughter has a different address of 3505 Sailor Drive, so maybe it has to match the ship and division?

Trisha-Ashley's-mom Congratulations to your daughter and all her hard work. It is so encouraging to see someone come through. She is so young and already accomplished so much. What awesome adventures await. I keep telling myself look to the adventures these great kids are going to have, basic is just the first step to getting there.

There is just too much stuff to remember !!!! I'll have so many lists by the time I get to graduation I'll need a list for my lists !!

Best advice is to have her color pictures and you start writing your letters... You should get your "form letter" with his address and other info soon. Ladies / JessicaB- correct me if Im wrong, but cant CKH use the same mailing address as my son?
