Andrew Ship 14 Div 014 PIR Nov 21. He is loving A school which makes me happy. He likes his dorm mates which is a blessing. He may change his mind about leave for Christmas. I will pass that information on to him. Thanks. Still trying to learn all the rules about the Navy and the way things work. Is there a guide book or something that I missed ? I still feel lost and have questions
Hi there, Absolutely so happy to find someone who has a loved one in the same division and ship. I hope they are all doing ok. My older son went in the Navy 11 years ago and tells me they are fine. I did get the box last week and got the info packet yesterday. Lets stay in touch.
