OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by AliciaG (Ship 12, DIV 204) on June 26, 2012 at 11:21pm: Leftwayleft----Goliath's Mom....

I wanted to be sure to chime in along with all of the other Moms who have sent you their love, prayers and gratitude. You were our rock from the get-go. Your calm and caring manner was very apparent in all of your comments. I am heart broken that this "difficulty" with finding out your son's status was laid on you.

I was very impressed about his new room. Wow...all I did was clear the stack of papers off the dining room table!

When you are finally able to wrap ypur arms around your son, hold very still, close your eyes...and feel ALL OF OURS wrap around both of you. God bless you and Goliath.

Comment by ellen0502 on June 26, 2012 at 7:46pm: Congratulations on the incoming I am a Sailor calls!!! What a great day for you, the best day of the week is still to come!!!!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 26, 2012 at 7:40pm: CONGRATULATIONS to all the New Sailors!

Comment by smokie (ship12 Div 203) on June 26, 2012 at 7:34pm: I have a Sailor!!!!!. He call and got to talk a long time. I even called my mom on my cell phone and let her hear his voice and talk. She was so happy to hear her grandson voice. I can not wait to leave for PIR. Congrats to all other Sailors. Hope to see you all at PIR. Be proud

Comment by diannep on June 26, 2012 at 7:10pm: Thinking that the BattleStations date I was given for 814 needs to be moved up a day. There is a conflict with the next PIR group starting.

Comment by diannep on June 26, 2012 at 7:07pm: Glad to know for sure that 203/204 went through last night. If 204 went, 203 went too since they are brother divisions.

Congrats to your new sailor, tatmom!

Comment by tatmom4rc(Ship12, Div. 204) on June 26, 2012 at 5:08pm: just got my "I'm a sailor" call - One may may pass.

Comment by tatmom4rc(Ship12, Div. 204) on June 26, 2012 at 5:03pm: leftwayleft. I know God has a plan for your son and he will thrive and continue to be the wonderful young man he is. As others have said "Thank you for your wonderful support and knowledge to everyone" I pray that you can get your son sooner than later. Take care and God Bless.

Comment by smokie (ship12 Div 203) on June 26, 2012 at 4:45pm: leftwayleft, Prayers for all in Ship 5. Go get your son and spent time together. Be strong.

Comment by diannep on June 26, 2012 at 4:19pm: leftwayleft: So sorry that you and your son have been through this "torture" for several days now--I know you were so relieved to finally get to talk to him. This is one time when the NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS wasn't true since your son was not allowed to call.

Is it because you didn't get your I'm a Sailor call that you called the PAO to find out his status originally? So sorry that it took so long for you to get info.

I agree with you and these ladies...such a difficult time, but sounds like your son is handling it well right now...there is something different and better down the road for him. Thanks so much for starting this group and leading the ladies along....blessings to your son as he goes through the discharge process. I agree with Jill that you should go to "Ship 5 (formerly Ship 17)" group on here and the one she mentioned and read for info. The code he is discharged under is important. Sounds like he will have a "new" room to return to for his "new" beginning!
