Ship 3 DIV 246 - Which address? I'm in a panic....
Posted on June 28, 2012 at 7:20pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I received a letter from my son today finally! It was the best piece of mail I think I have ever received. I'm in a panic though because when I got his form letter I was given the address:
SR Last Name, First Name, MI
Ship 03 DIV 246
Recruit Training Command
3600 Ohio Street
Great Lakes, IL 60088-3156
In Timmothy's letter he said he won't get mail unless I write the address EXACTLY as he wrote it on the envelope. The address is a…
ContinueThe Box - how long does it take before you get it?
Posted on June 22, 2012 at 1:31pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
My son has been gone for over a week now to Great Lakes. I have been told that I will get a box with his clothes and other items that they ship back along with his contact information and address. I haven't gotten it yet and every day it's harder when I get home and see I haven't gotten it. I have letters ready for him, but have no idea where to send them. How long does it take to get 'The Box"?
I'm starting to panic that maybe it got lost or something.

Hi ,
How are you doing? Did you received the box or his form letter yet? I received yhe box on Wednesday I think and Thursday got the form letter. My son is in Ship3 Div 245. This has been a real adjustment, waiting for boxes, letters and now for graduation. I never thought this is what I would be doing. We will get through this, I quess we don't have much of a choice. Hope everything is ok for you. Let me know when you get your form letter and box. Hopefully our boys will be in the same boat. HA, HA
Have a good evening.
Also I made reservations at the Navy Lodge. Great price $66 and great reviews and 1.5 miles from base. They probably fill up fast. Check it out.

Good Morning,
Hope you are doing good. I can't believe it's been 4 days. I seem to have the hardest time in the evening. I think because he was gone all day and would come home at night. I would always be waiting for that loud thumping of music coming down the road. I told him a couple of weeks to go to turn it down so I would get use to not hearing it. Crazy! How is the weather up in Washington? I have a brother in-law that lives in Liberty Lake. I want to visit Washington, its a beautiful state. I have gone as far as Montana. Love Montana been there twice in the pass 4 years. Are you going to be at the Graduation? I'm about 7-8 hrs from there. What is your son's job? Where is he going for A school? Mine is a OS (operational Specialist) he will stay in GL which I was happy. I can go see him there, but I think only on the weekends. After that who knows where he will in up at. Have a good day. Talk to you later.

I forgot to say, your picture of you and your son. His face expression reminds me of what my son would do. BOYS!
Hi, my son also left June 13 to GL for BC. I know what you mean about missing your son tons. My is the only child. I sleep in his pajamas bottoms the last two nights in what was his room, but now is my little cozy spot, but also still have little parts of his things. Thats the first thing I did. I couldn't stand going down the hall and seeing his room and him not being in it. I did start writing letters and that helps to. I also light a blue candle, I'm going to do this everyday till I leave for graduation. I think I'll have to buy more candles. This site is the best thing ever. He definitly keeps me busy, it's AWESOME. It's going to be fun to compare notes with each other.
