My son is a submariner currently assigned to a boat VERY far away from home. He had PIR in May 2012 and then attended submarine school and A-school in Groton, CT. before he joined the fleet as a Torpedo Mate. So proud of him!
I am here to support my
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...
Needed to learn more about it
The Navy offers opportunities that...
Be patient and supportive. Things change frequently with the Navy and it's difficult to make plans. But, above all, my goal is to support my son and his choice to serve his country in the world's greatest Navy!
Our Navy experience so far...
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Hello did you get your very short phone call yet it goes by to fast my daughter got there and made her call 38seconds long is all she got and today I recevied her box Aww it was a Little :( but we are very Proud of our new Navy Sailors goodluck to you for your son,Am new to this also.
Hi, my son left for GL's on 3/28. I got my short phone call that night. Am so anxious to hear from him and know how he is doing. He has a friend that went through boot camp last August and has told him a lot of what to expect but I am sure it is different when you are going through it. I am missing him so much. How are you doing?

Hi, my name is Lisette. My daughter left for GL on 4/2. Today has been a little tough for me. Have you found out your sons ship or div yet? It seems like such a long wait.
Hi Ann-Marie, I was able to get my daughters ship/div from her recruiter. You might be able to do the same. At least I can start sending letters to her. I think her PIR could be the same as your sons. Its been a long time since we had an empty nest but my oldest son lives nearby and we switch on and off with holiday dinners. Yesterday we went to his house so it took my mind off of my daughter being away. Did you get the letter today? I hope so! They might be in the same division or ship, my daughter is Ship 7 division 161. Let me know which your son is in when you find out. Will you be able to go to his PIR? Maybe we'll meet up if they have the same date.
Hi Ann-Marie, I'm so glad you got your letter today too! We are going to drive out to try to make the trip more affordable. Now to find a hotel that's half decent. I guess the next thing we should get are real letters written by our SR. Have a great night!

Hi so nice to meet you. This is quit an exciting time for us all. Now it is a waiting game for 5/25/ to come. I can't wait. Will you attending the meet and greet? Well have a nice evening.
Hey Ann-marie, Yeap look that way. I am sure they are all doing great. I do understand the the intergrated groups are harder on the guys as they have more rules to follow. We are from SC just south of Charlotte, NC.

Hi Ann Marie, I am out of town but my husband is at home and checked the mail and Thursday we got 5 letters from Jacob! He had to read them all to me over the phone. There were lots of parts where he was chocked up and had a hard time reading them. He sounded good on some days, stressed, anxious, depressed, homesick on other days. I hope we all get phone calls tomorrow (Sunday). Since that is their only down time I am really hoping to hear his voice. Have you received any more letters?
