Thanks it is so nice to have another mom to share this experience with. Today I went in his room and of course he was not there. This will take some getting used too, I miss him so much, but I am proud of him. Navy mom's what a great support group. Thanks for being my friend.

Goodmorning Deidre, My daughter left last night to sleep in the hotel they keep the recruits in so they can get to the MEPs center for testing. Her facebook says she's already up at 4 , showering, eating, leaving for testing. Turns out we are not allowed to go to the swearing into the USN first part, the recruiter got that WRONG. He also picked her up late yesterday, he forgot her phone #. My husband got her down to his recruiting station. So now we have to wait.

Hi it's Yvonne. . . YES my son called me I was so excited to hear his voice and it was so unexpected. He is in ship 11 Div 295, you are only the second person I know with Div 295, not many of us, maybe they will slowly surface. It's so good to talk to others going thru the same thing.

WOW!!! I thought for awhile my daughter was the only one on this ship. I kept looking and looking for others and just tonight I found you on my profile. I am feeling better now.

I don't know if you have got a reply on the meet and greet, but as I understand all the moms meet up at the Ramada the night before PIR and talk and get to know one another.

Hi Debbie, How are you doing? I'm doing good can't contain myself with all the exitement 14 MORE DAYS WOO-HOO!!! How's Deidre doing?? Well I got 2 letters yesturday & a phone call I was sooo excited to hear his voice. He sounds EXTREMELY TIRED.. still trying to shake off cough & cold, possible case of pink eye which is goin around. Over all sounds positive, excited,nervous all in one. He says he can't wait to see us and be off base. Our flight is scheduled to arrive at 11am and I plan to make meet & greet, I know theres not many of us (295).
Justin told me BS was 30th from 10p til 7a and were already told they would be up that whole day. I can only imagine how tired there gonna be, so we should get our "I'M A SAILOR" call on Tuesday sometime. Also said this coming Monday is gas chamber :( well sorry I've talked your ear off, keep in touch and hopefully see u soon.

He Debbie! Yes, Ben knows Deidre and told me her last name, but we can't put that on here. He finally phased up today and has all his privileges. He went to the mall this evening and was so glad to be in civilian clothes. How are you doing? I'm fine. I'm thinking about knitting Ben a scarf for the winter. I like to knit, but haven't tackled big projects because I like to be able to finish them. My husband Dan & I are without children in the house for the first time in our life. Our daughter Olivia attends Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. She's about 2 and a half hours away from us. She's almost 23. She'll graduate in the spring. Take care and keep in touch. Dawn
