Linn (ship 3, Div 139)

Hi Linn:

I have not received my Sons box yet but the the Rec. Office told me he was on Ship 3 Div 139 also.

I see a great deal of Residence Inn's - AH the closes one is??? a good frined of mine both of her sons are in the NAVY and she said go to the Ramada Inn in Waukegen....
I did not see a graduation day scheduled yet for ship 3 div 139 at http://www1.netc.navy.mil/nstc/rtcgl/ but I have seen some folks that their child is on ship 3 and the PIR date is 4/2/2010
I did not get my box of dirty clothes either (yesterday) maybe today - I am excited for you....Take Care

Ah,,,,feels like the time is gonna fly by now......I talked to the rect office and they did not have a PIR date as of this morning, he siad sometimes it comes in late in the day.
I did not see your pics that I could view on your profile, I will ask my other Son to help me this eveing and I will have to get one or two pics of my Son to send you. I ususally write him a letter at work and drop it at the mail box before I go home.
Please yes, lets keep in touch. - Take Care

this pic on your main page, is this of you and Jake? if so I will send him this one. I will have to upload some pics this evening.

oh well at least he was not one that had to have a bunch of hair cut off, my Son also had a near shaved head :)
talk to you later
Im so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice, Family picture.....So what did your Son enjoy the most about school, or did he like school. Was he dating a girl before he left? you said all his friends moved away :( did they go to school or just got out of dodge?
My Son (Brant), was/is dating a young lady for the last 3 years (give or take) he graduated school mid semester, he was tired of school and wanted so badly to go into the Navy. He was an Honor student, so he has some brains...LOL He tends to act goofy when things get tense, dosent want any one to cling to fear. So I hope that is what he is doing making things easy for himself as well as others. he is outgoing and when he puts his mind to it he will get it done. He loves comedians (Jeff Dunham-the pupet man) and music - was into rock, who knows now. What I miss the most is his warmth and layers of skin he left around the house (his clothes), Have a good day - Take Care, Be Strong, I am proud of James.

Oh by the way the box arrived today, no letter just his clothes and phone. No they were not folded neatly.....I did not expect that they would. ;-)

Yes, I understand about applying ones self...I think that Brant could of gone for Nuke but he can do the math but does not like math....so, yeah I know. My oldest Son, he needs a constant shove...I blame that part on their Dad - LOL
Thank you, it was nice to learn about your sailor, and I will look into the hotel you booked, a friend of mine her sons are in the Nuke program and both times she stayed at the Ramada and what she liked about that is that they had a meet and greet for the parents the night before....You know what airport is close? - talk to you later - Take Care

Just got the mail and received the form letter. He confirmed their grad date is April 2nd. He also said his first day was 41 hours long and he couldn't wait to shower (that's new). Anyway, the form letter did have several hotels, including the Residence Inn, along with distance from the airports, etc. We don't have to be staying at the Ramada to join the meet & greet group, so I intend to go there too. I'm sure we'll meet up one way or the other. At least we look different than the rest of the world. It's going to be very hard to find our sons when they all have the same hair cut and clothes on. We had that experience when our older son was in the Army. I'm thinking I need a tall red hat with a feather, so he can find me.

Hi Linn, my boyfriend is also in ship 3 , Div 139. Do we have a group yet?

Hi Linn --- I finally got my form letter today and a few notes from my son .... he also left on Feb 3rd and is on Ship 3 Div 139 --- I was so happy to see the few lines he wrote and now have his address to write him. :) Have you gotten any letters yet?
