Sarina, I am Logan's Mom. He is probably older than your son, he was 24 in Dec. I was so grateful for his call from O'Hare but confused at first when I saw Dylan's name on the caller ID. Then Log told me he had been loaned a cell phone-Log let his go in Dec. It is nice to touch base with someone else in that group. I have Log's division as 138, ship 9. I've seen a lot of other ship 9, but not another division of that number. Log is going for submarine electronics computer field (SECF). Hope to hear more about Dylan. Take Care.

Sarina, That is our Log!! Did my heart good to see this picture, it is so typical Logan except he does look tired to me. My name is Julie (I have a redmop of hair-actually dark auburn and gray now!!). I will have to look at a map and get a feel for where you are in CA. Did Dylan sign up in Daly City as well? I need to go, will write more later. So nice to touch base with you-Dylan looks like a teddy bear of a young man! Take Care now.

I bet Log enjoyed taking your pic with Dylan. He is an avid photographer and one of the things he did before he left was give his really good (expensive) camera to his sister-in-law so she could take pictures of the kids for all of us. He said he could replace it later and someone should be using the camera now. I thought you might be his friends Mom because I saw your post about Dylan and that your were from CA. Logan told me that only 4 of them flew out of San Francisco that day so I thought hmm can't be that many Dylan's in the group! We are definitely planning on being there for Graduation so let the planning begin!

Look on the RTC wall where they have the latest photo. It says:

Hull Maintenance Technician 1st Class Scott Davis, a Recruit Division Commander, makes a last-minute inspection of one of his recruits’ racks (bunk) before the entire division goes through a Personnel Inspection.

That is a picture from this week.

Good-Luck.

My son arrived on the 16th.

48 more days!

Have been thinking about you Sarina-hope you get your letter tomorrow. It is basically a form letter with a pamphlet about the area attractions (for when you come to PIR I think!). Log's note was very short, about 7 words, but still good to get. You should be hearing soon I think. Take Care, hope you have a great Sun. and Mon.--Julie
