  • BerniceW(Ship 2 Div. 943)

    Thank you for the info. Im brand new at this. I feel totally lost. My son left for BC on 7/10/12. I missed his first call and havent heard anything since.
  • DJ'smom

    Thanks so much for the info.  I haven't logged in since I signed up, but my son left  today and I just received his call.   Thanks to this site, I was well prepared when I heard his voice and heard how straight to the point and matter of fact his conversation was...other members mentioned that the first call would be that way, so that put me at ease :)

  • HarleyGurl

    Thank you so much for the "welcome" comment & info about the free phone cards! I just sent them an email :)

  • LI mom

    First off your not to far from me at the lake. Secondly thank you for sending the cards but i have a question do i print them off the computer and send them to him.he doesn't go in till Nov but i tried to ask about that ahead of time but received cards first before the answer. So can he still use them in Nov can he take them in with him or do i have to send them later. Thank you for all you do.
  • Debbie (Ship 02 Div 947)

    Thanks so much for your warm welcome & the information on the free phone cards!  My son leaves in 5 days and I am already looking forward to his first call home!

  • Proud Mom (Ship 12 Div 307)

  • cody furt mom Dar ship9div266

    Where do I go on N4M to get the parking permit for PIR 8/24/12 is it too early when do I get it.  Can't find where to look anymore?

  • michelle s (ship 11 div 214)

    Lexie got orders to the USS San Jacinto out of Norfolk...kind of ironic considering that is where her dad and met, married, and she was born lol! I am very excited for her as it is a cruiser and a small boy so she will get to go to lots of cool ports! She was bummed as she wanted San Diego with 
    Dillon (but who doesnt want SD lol!) I really never wanted to go back to Norfolk but for Lexie I will make the sacrifice lol!

    Does anyone know where I can find some information about two recruits wanting to get married?  They are both in BC now graduating two weeks from each other and desperately want to be together, which I know will be near to impossible.  I need some information on who they need to ask to get permission from to marry,  if they can be stationed at the same base, how long that will take,  etc.  I really need this information to pass it along to them.  I don't know if they even know who to speak to to find out information like this.

  • Josh B's mom

    Thanks so much for your welcome when I signed on to the site... I am back on daily now that my son leaves for BC in 2 days and finally reading all the kind posts on my page.

    Thanks so much for this information.  My daughter left yesterday and I am now going to be reaching out to this site more often.

  • turtlesgabba

    I was referred to your page for calling cards.  I was not very informed before my son left and didnt know he was to take stamps and calling cards.  I will send him some as soon as Im able to.  

    How do you help families send cards to their loved ones in BC??  My son is on Ship 3 Div 360

  • sapphirestone909

    Hello! My SR is in Bootcamp right now and I heard that you can help get calling cards. We dont have a landline at home. We only have a cell phone. I sent a calling card with my son but apparently since he is calling a cell pone it took a huge chunk of his minutes. How are free calling cards obtained? Thank you!

  • Huggy

    I love it how much will it be.

    Hi Ronny & Anna. I think your site Calls For Recruits is awesome. What a great thing to do for the young men & women in our military.

    I went there & printed off the 9 cards, but how do I get the PINs for them?

    Thanks Angel

    Hello, my son will be leaving for BC on 12.11.12. We just found out his departure date last Friday and trying to get everything prepared for him. Was told to contact you in regards to phone card for him. Don't know if the time crunch will present a problem. Thank you so much for info.

  • Marksmom ship 03 div 091

    I recieved the cards and wanted to say thank you so much. What he doesn't need, he will pass on to others who do.  Again, thank you :)

  • Sjblueslady

    Thank you Ronny.  My step sons are in Nuke School.  They just mentioned this site when home on leave.

  • fnieves4

    Ronny, I wanted to thank you in advance for supporting all us sailors, ur support and the support of others is what keeps us going, I'll be shipping out in 9 days. I would hope to get a phone card to keep in contact with my family n friends, how can i get a phone card through your program.

  • jenb

    Thank you so much for the info on the cards, I will definately get to the site this summer as he is scheduled to head off Oct 22, that is awesome that you started the program.  I am still trying to figure out how to work this site.. .  :) So I havent had much discussions, but once I do figure it out, I will be all over questions and support!!  I think I am in a little denial, he hasnt even graduated high school, so the thought of him leaving seems far off. Although I know that October will come quick! And we have always been supportive and encouraged the miliary, but now that its happening, I am a little apprehensive, as most parents are I am sure. Thanks again for sharing your sons story with me!! 

  • trueblue25

    Thank you Ronny for the wonderful welcome and I will, indeed, check out the free phone card site! My "baby" leaves on April 1st...I'm not doing so well with it, but he's excited and is an Aviation Ordanceman! Please keep in touch with me if possible as I am new to this and I'm afraid for him....and me....:(  Thank you, again, for your kindess!!

  • TJCsMom

    Thank you, Ronny!!! I'm putting them in the mail tomorrow with the instructions and will ask him to pass a few around!! This is awesome!! God Bless You!!!

  • NavJam23

    Good Afternoon Ronny,

    My boyfriend is currently at bootcamp now and he is going to be a CS. He didn't say anything about phone cards, the last thing he told me over the phone is that he will call me if he passes battleship.
  • aajohns

    My daughter will be attending officer's training in Newport, RI next month.  Then off to Pendelton as a critical care nurse.  I want to attend the graduation, and will go into some major debt, but too important an event to miss.  I live in Arizona.  Any tips on affordable accommodations in Newport for the 2 days I'll be there?  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance!

  • DJ'sMom

    Hi Ronny, Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I too, will be checking out the Phone Cards website.  My SR is doing well and making frequent calls so I'm sure the phone cards will come in handy.  God bless you!

  • JLM-MN

    Thanks, Ronny for the warm welcome.  My son is off to Boot Camp on July 8 so I will be using this site a lot more later this year!  I applaud your site that offers a free phone card.  We had one that still had a lot of time on it, so I will not need your offer, but I'd love to support your site.  I'll check out the site for a donation link.  Thanks again,  Janice   

  • momof5

    Hi Ronny, Thank you for the warm welcome, our SR is currently in BC, he left on 2/26/13, if all goes well, he goes to ASchool in Pen, Fl, We have not heard from him since the "I'm here call", we anxiously wait for any info from him, we sent him with a calling card which came back in his box, we don't know why that happened, but, we mailed it back to him, so thank you again for your support, and congratulations on your family's serving our country so diligently, God Blees You and your Family!!

  • mabel75

    Hello Ronny, Thank you for your warm welcome!! My Son is an ADAR Aviation Mechanic and is currently stationed in Jacksonville, FL. I wish I would have known about the phone cards sooner. I'm just really glad that I found a place of support for Navy Moms like me!!  Thank You again for your kindness!! Its difficult at times especially because my son may be deployed in May and its very hard for me!

  • PilotMomCeeGee

    Thank you Ronny -- My son is currently training as a US Navy Pilot in Corpus Christi, TX.  He has been in the Navy for 11 years.  After his winging in June, he will be returning to Norfolk, VA to a squadron there.  I appreciate your warm welcome, thank you!!
