I am a mother of a son who is waiting to leave for basic training. I am looking forward to the changes that the Navy will bring about in my son. Though going into the PACT program wouldn't have been my first choice for him, I am hoping that he will make the best of the situation.

Hello and Welcome to Navy4moms. The NH group moms have a lot of experience with everything. Some have sailors that have been in for a few years, some just a few months and one who daughter leaves in Feb...Please, if you have any questions or just want to chat or if you find the need to cry or scream...we are there for you.

My son is leaving on April 20th also. Time goes by so fast when you don't want it to, I have the feeling that the 8 weeks that they are gone will just crawl by.
So glad to find someone with a son in the same division. My son was in the group delayed in Atlanta because of weather. The box is all we've received, too. Originally was to have been at RTC 4/19. Do I remember you're posting earlier that you son was delayed because of weather also? Thanks for setting up the group.
Hello to all in this group. My letter came Sat. 4/30, my son is Ship 9,Div 205, We got the box last Wed. Guess lucky so far, we have been on a close schedule to what Jessica B Sailor Mom has said. She has great information. My son's girlfriend and I are sharing calls, box and letters. She got the honor of washing the clothes.If you haven't got your box be sure to check pockets, shoes and socks for things stuffed in them. Now to start day dreaming about travel plans, my son told me before he left that it is much cheaper to fly to Milwaukee. Same distance to base as O'Hara, less traffice and toils I also understand.
